Dear Department of Corrections,

I am seeking updated information from that provided in response to my December 2018 request. For the 2019/20 financial year can you please tell me:

* the total number of hours paid at the unemployment rate
* the total money paid to prisoners under the framework

The Department of Corrections's apparent policy of abusing the Official Information Act's lack of a requirement that notices of extension must be sent as soon as reasonably practicable, in order to almost always send them at the last allowable moment like this, sure is frustrating.

Indeed. And the fact that it's always for 20 days. And that there is never any discernible consultation undertaken. Given past experience it's best to wait until the conclusion of the request to complain to the Ombudsman unfortunately.
