Prison System Failed Again | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Another tragic prison suicide in Invercargill, this time of 30-year-old Nukuroa Strange, just one day after being released from a mental health unit — and six years after a similar death. The coroner’s report blasts the Department of Corrections for ignoring known risks and failing to act with urgency, calling their inaction “unacceptable.” This isn’t an isolated case — the same method killed another inmate eight years prior, yet nothing changed. Strange slipped through the cracks despite multiple risk assessments. His mother called it her worst nightmare — and justice demands answers.
