Geoff Robinson introduces an item Christchurch Prison chaplains are calling for the Addington remand prison to be closed down and demolished, because of what they claim are the inhumane conditions there for the prisoners.
The chaplains' spokesperson, Father Jim Consedine is interviewed by reporter Peter Hyde about the conditions in the prison. He says a special report on the prison has gone to the Justice Department, prison authorities and the Minister of Justice, urging to have the matter dealt with.
