Dear Department of Corrections,

 

I am interested in the numbers of people in separates/punishment/pound
cells in New Zealand prisons.

 

Please provide the following:

- The snapshot number of people held in separates/punishment/pound cells
in New Zealand prison. Please break this down by quarterly snapshot since
December 2009. Please provide the snapshot population on the same day as
the overall prison snapshots provided on the Department of Corrections
website:
[8]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

-The total number of times a person was sent to separates/punishment/pound
cells, broken by year since 2009.

 

Please provide this to me in excel format.

 

You have provided some of this data already in response to this OIA
request:
[9]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Alexander Bowers-Mason
