Arohata is closed. Due to a lack of  Corrections staff. Heard it on the news this morning. The women were all moved to Christchurch some time ago, and now there is talk of it being unfair and racist as a lot of the inmates have been unable to see their children due to cost/ travel.
That's really unacceptable; the punishment is imprisonment, not being unable to see family,particularly children. I can understand why they've had to do so but some alternative which allows visits from family should be found as quickl.y as possible.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
