A child has been caught being used as a drug courier at Christchurch Men's Prison, prison staff say. Staff said they were horrified that a boy was found with a package of cannabis oil, pills and methamphetamine as he and his mother visited a prisoner on Saturday. Prison manager John Roper said staff saw a woman changing the position of the package hidden on the child after they made it through the prison gates. "Our vigilant staff noticed the woman reach into the child's pants, remove something and hide it in his jersey," he said.
