Tēnā koe Mark
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 27 November 2020
regarding the number of prisoners who have convictions or previous convictions for
sexual offences and are double bunked in a prison cell.
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 16 February 2021. 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 response you
have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend the
timeframe. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington
6143.
