New Zealand's Peru prison unit isolates inmates for up to 900 days, breaching international human rights standards.
New Zealand's strictest prison unit, Peru, has been found to isolate inmates for up to 900 days, breaching international human rights standards which set a maximum of 15 days.
The 98-page report revealed that the average stay at Peru was 632 days and that prisoners often spent their time in solitary confinement for safety reasons.
Mental health clinicians have expressed concerns about the long-term isolation's negative impact on prisoners' well-being, describing the unit as "dark, oppressive, and lacking in sensory stimulation and access to sunlight."
