Soon after the attack Stephen Parr, the prison\u2019s general manager, told the Herald three prisoners had been secured and would be placed on directed segregation. <\/p>\n
Staff also gave the victim of the assault first aid.<\/p>\n
He said that Corrections would conduct a review into the incident and all the evidence would be handed over to police.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who resorts to this behaviour will be held to account,\u201d Parr said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are constantly working to ensure our prisons provide the safest environment possible for staff and prisoners. Auckland Prison is New Zealand\u2019s only specialist maximum-security facility, and accommodates the country\u2019s most dangerous and volatile prisoners.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur staff manage some of New Zealand\u2019s most dangerous people in a complex and challenging environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver 80% of the prison population have convictions for violence in their offending histories, and more than 90% have had a lifetime diagnosis of a mental health or substance abuse disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n
The men charged in this incident were due to appear in the North Shore District Court on September 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Soon after the attack Stephen Parr, the prison\u2019s general manager, told the Herald three prisoners had been secured…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23294,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[9526,17704,89,51,1558,24039,13239,1873,11728,1872,24038,11521,305,104,24037,101,111,43,139,69,1523,8442,20937,1238,1529,5977,102],"class_list":["post-23293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-another","tag-assault","tag-attack","tag-auckland","tag-been","tag-bodily","tag-charged","tag-charges","tag-critical","tag-face","tag-grievous","tag-harm","tag-have","tag-injuries","tag-inmates","tag-left","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-over","tag-prison","tag-prisoner","tag-serious","tag-three","tag-which","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
