Auckland South Corrections Facility is also known as Kohuora, or commonly called Wiri Prison.

You can find good information to help you when you have someone inside at Kohuora on the Auckland South Corrections Facility website.  This includes information on contacting a person, visiting, what it is like inside Kohuora, how to put money into a prisoners account, and a video clip on supporting a person in the facility.

An information booklet on Kohuora is also available here
