Perhaps a verdict on gangs more than on proper prison guard behaviour . It doesn’t make for a safer world for anyone.
“Faafoi was charged with assault with intent to injure Angell after kicking the prisoner in the head three times.
He was found not guilty.
Paikea was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with reckless disregard after CCTV footage showed him kneeling down over the back of Angell’s legs.
The Crown said Paikea deliberately bent Angell’s ankle at a 90-degree angle causing a compound dislocation.”
this outcome is bad and smells fishy

What a joke.
They don’t even uphold their own policies.
