Mihi Bassett: Lawyer on apology from Corrections - a podcast by RNZ

The Department of Corrections has apologised to Mihi Bassett for her cruel and inhumane treatment at Auckland Women's Prison.
Her court case also prompted an apology from the Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis, who has ordered an overhaul of the way it treats women prisoners.
Bassett was supported at the Manakau District Court yesterday, as she was sentenced for arson, by her mother, grandmother and brother.
At sentencing Judge David McNaughton, said Bassett had "suffered enough" and would not serve extra time for the arson.
Bassett's lawyer Hannah Kim spoke to Corin Dann.
