Are prisoners inside our toughest prison being denied family visitations? If so, why?

I talk to Shane, who is currently serving a 15 year sentence inside Paremoremo prison, while his partner Alexandra is with me in studio.

What rights should and shouldn't you forfeit if you are convicted of a serious crime? And if we are serious about rehabilitating offenders, how should we treat people while they are incarcerated?

This is a tough, but important conversation.
