Prison staff want riot teams ready for smoking ban
Prison staff are asking for riot squads to be ready for when a smoking ban comes into force next month.

From July 1 inmates will no longer be allowed to smoke, and prison guards will also be encouraged to give up.

Bevan Hanlon from the Corrections Association told TV ONE's Close Up staff need to be ready to deal with inmates who are struggling with the change.

"We're asking that our riot teams are on standby and ready to go," he said.

1. Riot squads need to be ready?
As opposed to their normal unready state?

Or maybe this is just a good excuse to quit smoking. It's not easy.

2. This is in New Zealand?
"Smoking bans are in force at prisons in the US, Canada and Australia. In Canada prisoners have been unable to smoke in their cells since 2007 following pressure by the prison officers' union."
