Thank you for contacting the Department of Corrections.  This is an
automatic reply to let you know that we have received your email.

 

Our website, [1]www.corrections.govt.nz provides up to date news and
information about the work of the Department of Corrections.

 

If you are requesting information about an offender or prisoner, please
note that we are required to comply with the Privacy Act 1993, the
Official Information Act 1982 and the Victims Rights Act 2002.

 

Please note: This email address will not be monitored over the Christmas
period with effect from midday (12noon) 23 December 2016 until Wednesday 4
January 2017. If you have immediate concerns for your safety or the safety
of another person, including a prisoner or offender in the community,
please contact the New Zealand Police. Contact details can be found
[2]here.

 

Also, Official Information Act 1982 and Privacy Act 1993 requests received
on or after 28 November 2016 will take into account the Christmas period.
The period 27 December 2016 to 15 January 2017 inclusive is not considered
"working days." Further information can be found on the Office of the
Ombudsman’s website at [3]http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz

 

This means that unless you are the victim of a serious crime, or there are
other safety reasons, we must ask the prisoner or offender if they consent
to their information being released to you.  If you do not want the
offender to know that you are asking about them, please send us another
email and let us know.

 

If you are a victim of serious crime, you will find information about the
Victim Notification Register on our website:

community, visit:

Once again, thank you for contacting us.  We will respond to your query as
soon as we are able.  Please note that due to the high volume of emails we
receive, it may take us some time to respond to you, however every effort
will be made to comply with the timeframes outlined in the Privacy Act
1993 and the Official information Act 1982.

 

Kind regards,
