Subject: Official Information request - Wages and employment conditions
for prisoners in One Billion Trees Programme

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

Can Employment details please be provided around the (work and employment)
conditions for prisoners in the pilot scheme between Te Uru Rakau and
Corrections for One Billion Trees?

 

Is the work mandated? ie will prisoners have a choice to work?

How much will prisoners get paid per hour? and does this include travel
time to the work site?

What kind of work will the prisoners be doing?  How many hours will the
prisoners be expected to work?

What kind of employment contract will the prisoners have?

 

Will Corrections be receiving payment for providing prisoners to work in
this programme?

 

What opportunities will be provided for people to complete the relevant
NCEA qualification and to have employment in forestry industry?

 

Also, how many trees is the programme expected to plant and over how long?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Kirsten Gibson
