An investigation is currently happening by the New Zealand Department of Corrections to see if the allegations that prison guards at Rimutaka prison are accepting monetary bribes from prisoners in exchange for drugs and cellphones , are correct . Rimutaka prison is one of New Zealand's largest prions which caters for minimum to high-medium security male prisoners. It is located in Wellington, New Zealand. Two former officers, Ingrid and Mark Rijniers, have handed over a collection of documents on their encounters while working at Rimutaka prison. The pair, who were transferred from Holland, claim that Rimutaka prison is run by gang members who dominate the prison guards. They also claim that if the gang members don't get what they want they will intimidate and threaten the guards with their lives. However Ingrid Rijniers is refusing to co-operate with the department as they refused to give her the money to go back to Holland. The New Zealand Corrections Department confirm that they are investigating the serious claims and are taking them seriously but say that they have not found sufficient evidence yet to back up the claims.
