I bet prison in NZ is like Mordor.
Why would you think that? New Zealand doesn't have for-profit prisons AFAIK. I think the US has the worst prisons.
I think they were just making a Lord of the Rings joke because the movies were filmed in New Zealand. I don't think they really believe that New Zealand prisons are bad.
What does LoTR have to do with prisons? The only "prison" featured was the Tower of Isengard. It had one prisoner who escaped because there were no walls.
