"The Corrections Department faces fresh allegations that corruption is rife at one of the country's biggest prisons. There is an environment in which smuggling contraband is blatant and documents arefilled in with fraudulent details. "You could find something in just about every cell - weapons, cellphones, drugs ... if searching was done properly there wouldn't be anything," said Dr Coward, who has 20 years' experience in prisons on four continents. "Cell searches were signed off without being done ... and this happened most days."
