The global head of prison operator Serco said he won't fire anyone simply on the basis of allegations.

Serco's management of Mt Eden prison is currently being investigated, after claims involving fight clubs, contraband and serious injuries.

Serco CEO Rupert Soames has been in New Zealand to meet Minister of Corrections Sam Lotu-Iiga and Corrections CEO Ray Smith.

He's told TV3 some of the allegations are very serious for Serco but people should also be reminded of the facts.

"Mount Eden Prison, under our direction of managing the prison has gone from being one of the worst rated prisons in New Zealand, to being one of the best."
