Kasey Nihill made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections
The request was successful.
From: Kasey Nihill
Dear Department of Corrections,
Please provide me with the number and proportion (%) of prisoners on each level of the prisoner incentive framework, broken down by gender, ethnicity, prison location and offence type, for the period from 1 January 2018 - 1 January 2019.
Please provide me with the number and proportion of prisoners who took part in release to work, broken down by gender, ethnicity, prison location and offence type, from 1 January 2018 - 1 January 2019.
Please provide me with the number of employment opportunities (both release to work and work under the prisoner incentive framework) made available to prisoners at each prison facility in New Zealand from 1 January 2018 - 1 January 2019.
Please provide me with the number of employment opportunities (both release to work and work under the prisoner incentive framework) refused by prisoners at each prison facility in New Zealand from 1 January 2018 - 1 January 2019.
Under your prisoner incentive framework there are four different types of activities prisoners are put into; self-sufficiency activities, community service activities, commercial industries run by prisons, and commercial industries run in cooperation with the private sector. Could you please provide me with the number of job opportunities, and number of hours carried out under each type of activity.
Please provide me with any documentation concerning the prisoner incentive payment level for those prisoners that take part in any of the numerous rehabilitation programmes listed on your website. Please confirm whether or not those prisoners who take part in rehabilitation programmes are able to participate in either release to work, or the prisoner incentive framework.
Please provide me with the average duration for which a prisoner maintains an employment position in both the release to work scheme and the prisoner incentive framework.
Please provide me with any updated documentation on your inmate employment policy, or confirm that no updates have been made to the current documentation available on the corrections website uploaded 1 July 2001.
Please provide me with any documentation clarifying what legislative provisions support the department of corrections position that prisoners taking part in the prisoner incentive framework are not employees.
Yours faithfully,
Kasey
