Inmates at the country's toughest jail were treated to some christmas cheer this weekend - getting to spend a few hours making Christmas gifts and reading with their children.
The men of Unit 9 at Auckland Prison decked out a room with balloons, tinsel, streamers and even a small christmas tree in preparation for the day.
It was the final session of a parenting course - Taonga mo nga Tamariki - Treasures for our Children.
Katie Doyle went along.
