Judith Collins is to blame for this rape

When Judith Collins introduced double-bunking into New Zealand prisons, she was warned that it would lead to more rapes. She didn't care. The news today reports that a prisoner has been raped due to double-bunking - a rape made possible by the policy Collins introduced. I don't think that it was a desired outcome of the policy, but it was a likely one, and Collins has showed depraved indifference to it. And that makes her criminally culpable. She should be in the dock too.
