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.
Friends of Padre Steve’s World,
I am tired after several arduously emotional days. So tonight a rerun of an older post. It is a fascinating story because it has to deal with the amazing courage of the sailors serving in the United States Navy and the determination of President Thomas Jefferson to ensure the freedom of United States and other citizens plying the seas of the Mediterranean Sea from the North African Pasha’s and their raiding fleets of marauding pirates who captures ships from many nations and extorted ransom for their crews. Interestingly it was the young United States that decided to ensure the freedom of the seas for everyone. This is the story of one of the most incredible exploits of that campaign.
