Returning Offenders

Equal Justice Project made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Equal Justice Project to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Equal Justice Project

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,
