Mark Mitchell: Police Minister on the arrest of corrections staff for corruption, accepting bribes
Published 1 month ago
Description
Satisfaction the vast majority of the country's Corrections workers are good eggs, despite the arrest of 14 Auckland staff.
A dozen have been charged with accepting bribes, while several are also charged with conspiring to supply a Class A drug —namely methamphetamine— to prisoners.
They worked at the Mt Eden and Auckland South facilities.
Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Ryan Bridge it's a small portion of the 11 thousand workforce, and he's satisfied the recruiting process is up to snuff.
He’s confident low wages aren’t behind the acts, as you can’t buy integrity.
