Jail Golf

The Herald on Sunday reveals the inhumane conditions in the NZ prison system:

The Corrections Department has confirmed “grass areas”, which double as putting greens, are available at two North Island prisons for inmates keen on maintaining their handicap.

But if golf isn’t your game, that’s okay – Corrections says a range of other leisure activities are available to inmates, including petanque, darts and touch rugby.

Amnesty International should be alerted that prisoners have a putting green only. A nine hole course is the minimum acceptable for prisoners.
