Sex offenders still sharing prison cells despite Davis' promise

From Morning Report, 7:25 am on 3 December 2018

Hundreds of sex offenders are being placed in shared prison cells despite warnings that it is dangerous and should be stopped. This despite a promise by the Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis on this programme in June June 14 that it would never happen. Figures from Corrections show that in October this year there were 674 double bunked inmates who had a previous or current sex conviction. The Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse trust says that's inhuman but Corrections says it has no choice. Katie Doyle has the story.
