3. How did this decision impact on the day-to-day lives of people in Corrections’ custody at Waikeria?

5. How did this decision impact on visitation for whānau of people at people in Corrections’ custody at Waikeria?
6. What measures has Corrections taken to address the emotional and mental health toll of lockdown and lack of visitors on people in its custody at Waikeria?
