Dear Department of Corrections,
I would like to request all support visitation options for life sentenced inmates with a minimum security classification, (and other classification, stated for each) attending such program/s above at Rimutaka Prison, e.g long distance family members have available options (on application) of 2.5hr inmate standard and special visits (with children), one per week, two per one week and so on. Please also include adult only options, per week and so on etc
What is the process for such visit application, and criteria?
Do inmates attending STURP/STU-VO with a minimum security classification that have not yet attended their first parole, have available any entitlements or on application support around family community visits or hui, extra GR options, Marae Visits in Northland, etc.
Please note my request only relates to Rimutaka Prison STURP/STU-VO programs.
