A former pupil in the care of a Catholic order in Christchurch has described it as 'Hell on Earth'.
The Abuse in Care Royal Commission of Inquiry has published a report on the treatment of children at three Brothers of St John of God institutions in Christchurch, over decades.
They were Marylands School, Hebron Trust and St Joseph’s Orphanage.
Marylands survivor and former pupil, Darryl Smith, says it's good the extent of abuse is public knowledge.
But he wants more than compensation.
"I want every member of that order chastised and sentenced to imprisonment for life."
