Prison Operations Manual

Ti Lamusse made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections

The request was refused by Department of Corrections.

From: Ti Lamusse

Dear Department of Corrections,

Please release the full prison operations manual.

Please release all documents that are referenced in the prison operations manual. In other words, if the POM refers to a form or another document, release that form or document, along with the POM.

Thank you.

Corrections has released a part of the Prison Operations Manual which is not available on their website in response to another OIA request:

https://fyi.org.nz/request/3926-strip-se...

S.01.RES.12 REASONABLE GROUNDS SEARCH

If it was not necessary to withhold this information under section 6(c) of the OIA as cited in Corrections' response to this request for the entire manual, then it seems to me that they should have released it here or made it publicly available on their website.

It also raises the question of how many other sections of the Prison Operations Manual have been withheld without good reason.
