Government takes over Mt Eden Prison

The Government has announced that it will be taking control of Mt Eden Prison, after loosing faith in its private security contractor Serco. The Corrections Department will be taking over the prisons day-to-day  operations after a series of incidents captured NZ media for all the wrong reasons.
The media content captured (which was shared online) sparked several complaints which were based upon a lack of authority executed by Serco guards leading to the internal organising of fights, attainment of contraband and the recent horrific death of an inmate.
