Corrections Minister Anne Tolley and Housing Minister Dr Nick Smith say there will be great benefits for the Canterbury rebuild, following the official opening of the Rolleston Working Prison Construction Yard by Prime Minister John Key.

A partnership between Corrections and Housing New Zealand will see prisoners and community offenders’ refurbish 150 earthquake-damaged red zones houses over the next five years.

More than 400 offenders will gain training in construction skills such as carpentry, plastering, painting and decorating, and roofing and joinery.
