Subject: Official Information request - Prisoner Incentive Framework

 

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

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
