Amnesty International says the treatment of a woman at Auckland Region Women's Prison could be considered psychological torture.    Prisoner Mihi Bassett was left for four months "in the pound" in solitary confinement - which a judge found was unlawful. Amnesty International's Executive Director Meg de Ronde says Amnesty wants an independent inquiry. Meg de Ronde speaks to Corin Dann.
