A Human Rights Commission report has found children, young people and women, especially Māori, are being forced into seclusion for too long in prisons.
It is telling prisons, young people's residences and health and disability units to reduce, if not eliminate, the use of seclusion and restraint.
Māni Dunlop spoke with the Assistant Māori Commissioner for Children, Glenis Philip-Barbara.
