Waikeria Prison unrest: Union says even officers working in horrible conditions

Waikeria prison Photo: RNZ / Dan Cook The Department of Corrections says 21 prisoners were involved - four surrendered but 17 are still refusing to co-operate. It is New Zealand s biggest prison riot in seven years - and it started with a tip. Corrections received a call on Tuesday at lunchtime, telling them a riot might soon break out at Waikeria Prison, near Te Awamutu. Staff took a look and could not find any issues. But Corrections chief executive Jeremy Lightfoot said matters escalated quickly. A short time later, prisoners in an exercise yard in the top jail, the high security part of the site, lit several small fires, he told reporters at a press conference yesterday.

Waikeria Prison riot: A third of facility s cells destroyed as standoff enters third day

Corrections said over 200 inmates had to be moved away from the burning unit to safety. So far, only four of the 21 responsible have surrendered, Lightfoot said. We are clear about the criminal wanton damage that these individuals have undertaken on property and exposed so many people to potential loss of life. Up to 70 firefighters, multiple ambulances and specialist advance control and restraint teams have been dispatched from all over the North Island since the riot began. Callers from within the jail told Newshub conditions in it are inhumane, a sentiment shared by the very guards they re clashing with. Corrections Association president Alan Whitley admitted: It s beyond its use by date.
