The Otago Corrections Facility at Milburn near Milton. File photoThe Ombudsman has slammed the Otago Corrections Facility for the "unacceptable" use of CCTV cameras in cells there. Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier said it was "completely inappropriate" that CCTV cameras covered showers and toilets in the prison. "As a minimum, the men in the care of Otago Corrections Facility should be able to carry out their ablutions with some privacy," Mr Boshier said. The issue of CCTV cameras in showers and toilets was continually found in corrections facilities, Mr Boshier said.
