Subject: Official Information request - Parenting in Prison

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

Please provide statistics per year as far as your records allow for the
following:

 

- How many people in the prison are mothers?

 

- How many people in prison are fathers?

 

Please break down statistics regarding parenthood and prisoners by age of
prisoner, number of children, and age of children as far as records allow.

 

- How many people (divided by gender) in prison have children aged under
24 months?

 

- How many prisoners use the Mothers and Babies Unit?

 

- How many prisoners use the Mothers and Babies Bonding Facility?

 

- How many prisoners who are eligible have been denied access to the
Mothers and Babies Unit?

 

- How many have been removed or Bonding Facility for Drugs, Neglect or
Violence?

 

Please break this down by offence.

 

- How many prisoners have babies (under 24 months) out in the community
with an alternate caregiver?

 

- How many prisoners with children in the facility access and the
antenatal classes, immunisation, a midwife, Plunket, early childhood
education, parenting support, and other services which they are eligible
to use?

 

Is there an official re-entrance plan for people leaving mothers in babies
units back into the mainstream population?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Jessica Lim
