Dear Mr Yeates 
 
Thank you for your letter dated 27 February 2020, requesting information about 
banned words that are not allowed through the Corrections’ eprisoner emailing 
system. Your request is being considered under the Official Information Act 
1982 (OIA). 
  
Corrections needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request by 
20 working days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as consultations 
necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to 
the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. Therefore, 
you can expect to receive a response to your request by 28 April 2020. If you no 
longer require this information, please let us know as soon as possible. 
 
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this extension 
you have the right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend 
the timeframe. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, 
Wellington 6143. 
 
 
Yours sincerely
