Thank you for your email dated 4 June 2022 to the Department of Corrections – Ara
Poutama Aotearoa, requesting information about COVID‐19 stage settings used in prisons.
Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
You requested:
I am interested in finding out what Covid‐19 Stage settings have been used in all
Corrections‐run prisons since their implementation on 3 December.
I would like to know what Stages each prison has been at (individually) and at what
dates these changed (if applicable).
We have decided to grant your request in full. However, it will take us some more time to
prepare the information for release as soon as possible.
I trust the information provided is of assistance. I encourage you to raise any concerns
about this response with Corrections. Alternatively, you are advised of your right to also
raise any concerns with the Office of the Ombudsman. Contact details are: Office of the
Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.
