Dear Ministry of Social Development,
 
Upon release a prisoner is given a payment of $350 he/she is then given a
two week stand down from Winz . If the prisoner has no help from family or
friends (which is often the case) the financial desperation must often
cause the prisoner to reoffend . How is one expected to find accomodation
, buy clothing and feed oneself while also conforming to the release
demands of probation services ?
What is the current recall rate of paroled prisoners ?
What percentage of prisoners are charged for failing to comply to release
conditions ?
What is the statistics for reoffending and being returned to prison ?
Yours faithfully,
 
Jason McIntosh

Dear Mr McIntosh
On 30 May 2018 you emailed the Ministry requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following information:
Upon release a prisoner is given a payment of $350 he/she is then given a
two week stand down from Winz . If the prisoner has no help from family or
friends (which is often the case) the financial desperation must often
cause the prisoner to reoffend . How is one expected to find accomodation
, buy clothing and feed oneself while also conforming to the release
demands of probation services ?
 
What is the current recall rate of paroled prisoners ?
What percentage of prisoners are charged for failing to comply to release
conditions ?
What is the statistics for reoffending and being returned to prison ?
 
We have transferred the part of your request in bold above to the
Department of Corrections. The information to which your request relates
is not held by us but is believed to be held by the Department of
Corrections. In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the
OIA to transfer your request.
 
You will hear further from the Department of Corrections concerning that
part of your request.
 
The first part of your request will be responded to in a letter from the
Ministry; however, please note that it is not a request for official
information.
 
Yours sincerely
Elisabeth Brunt
General Manager, Ministerial and Executive Services
