Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 11 November
2021, regarding the daily frequency of visitors to prisons by location and the
frequency of drug contrabands intercepted by Corrections.
Corrections needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request by 20
working days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(a) of the OIA, as the request is for a large
quantity of official information or necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the
operations of the department. Therefore, you can expect to receive a response to
your request by 27 January 2022. If you no longer require this information, please let
us know as soon as possible.
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this response you
have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend the
timeframe. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington
6143.
