NewzA former New Zealand Department of Corrections officer has failed in his legal bid to regain his employment after being dismissed for assaulting two restrained inmates. The incident occurred following an altercation in which the officer himself was attacked by prisoners inside a prison bathroom.
Despite the initial provocation involving the bathroom attack, the officer's subsequent actions of repeatedly kicking restrained inmates led to his termination. His appeal to overturn the dismissal and secure his reinstatement was unsuccessful.
