Work on income and employment of prisoners prior to incarceration

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,

Thank you for your response to my request about unemployment rates of prisoners prior to incarceration (see here: https://fyi.org.nz/request/6290-reducing...). It was very helpful of you to provide me with information that was relevant but not directly in response to my question. Thank you for that.

In your response, you state that in work recently undertaken by Corrections, you assessed the income and employment of prisoners at the time they enter prison.

1) Please provide me with that work.

From a third party, I understand that you made arguments relating to this data in your briefs of evidence to the Waitangi Tribunal inquiry in Māori reoffending rates.

2) Please provide me with your briefs of evidence to the Waitangi Tribunal inquiry on Māori reoffending.

Please contact me immediately if you need me to refine this request.

Yours faithfully,

Ti Lamusse

Dear Info@Corrections,

Thank you for your reply.

In your reply you have noted the source (IDI) that the 87% figure comes from. That was not my request. In my request, I asked for the work undertaken by Corrections in which that finding is made.

Please provide me with the work (document, policy paper, report etc etc) to which Vincent Arbuckle was referring in my original request (https://fyi.org.nz/request/6290-reducing...), when he stated "you may be interested in a related piece of data matching work recently undertaken by Corrections". Again, please provide me with that work.

Yours sincerely,

Ti Lamusse

I have made a complaint with the Ombudsman about this response. It seems unlikely that there are absolutely no internal documents in which data is used.

Corrections has said that documents I have requested in the past don't exist and then the Ombudsman has required Corrections to release them following complaint.
