From: Equal Justice Project
<[FOI #13952 email]>
Sent: 11 October 2020 4:15 p.m.
To: Info@Corrections <[Department of Corrections request email]>
Subject: Official Information request - Returning Offenders

 

Kia ora Department of Corrections,

 

We are emailing on behalf of the Equal Justice Project in collaboration
with the ADLS Criminal Law Committee.

 

We would like to request information regarding returning offenders under
the Official Information Act 1982. We are concerned about whether civil
legal aid can provide the most appropriate assistance, compared to
criminal legal aid. In particular, we would like to know:

 

1) The number of deportees on a yearly basis that have been deported to NZ
since the Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Act 2015 was
introduced; and

 

2) The number of deportees who have been subject to or are still subject
to Corrections oversight on a yearly basis.

 

We thank you in advance for your time.

 

Noho ora mai,

 

Equal Justice Project
