NEW ZEALAND - Southern assistant regional manager for the Department of Corrections, Ian Burke, said the toys, which included a range of soft toys, matchbox cars, books and toy trains, had been taken away in July. "These toys had been used as weapons in a fight. Intelligence at the prison also revealed that the toys were being used to pass drugs between prisoners during visits."
