A newsletter distributed to prisoners praising the Waikeria riot for reforming "the prison to the ground" has been referred to the police over concerns it could incite a riot.
And Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis has accused Te Paati Māori of condoning the pamphlet which appears to quote co-leader Rawiri Waititi.
