Corrections Minister Anne Tolley has taken the rare step of releasing footage from inside Rimutaka Prison to give an insight into guards' use of on-body cameras. Prison security guards are trialling the cameras at Rimutaka and Auckland Prison for six months. A select committee was this morning shown several video clips recorded on the devices, including a prison brawl, a standoff between guards and an inmate, and a guard discovering a long blade used in a stabbing.
