Photo / Brett PhibbsA newsletter distributed to prisoners praising the Waikeria riot for reforming "the prison to the ground" has been referred to the police over concerns it could incite a riot. And Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis has accused Te Paati Māori of condoning the pamphlet which appears to quote co-leader Rawiri Waititi. After reviewing the document, Corrections referred it to police. The newsletter - seen by the Herald - called the six-day standoff at Waikeria Prison which saw 17 men burn down part of the facility an "uprising".
