Mason Clinic - a hospital for NZ's most dangerous offenders

From Sunday Morning, 7:47 am on 13 July 2014

The Mason Clinic is home to some of the country's most dangerous offenders but there are no guards. It's a hospital, not a prison and is staffed by nurses and doctors. The clinic is the country's largest forensic psychiatric unit with 106 beds - and while many of its inmates are under lock and key, the clinic's focus is on treatment.
