Guided Releases in Prisons

The request was successful.

From: Caleb

Tēnā koutou,
I am writing to request information regarding guided releases in New Zealand prisons. Specifically, I would like to know the following:

1. The total number of guided releases conducted at each prison over the past 6 months.
2. If guided releases are not occurring, please provide an explanation for their suspension at each site.
3. When are guided releases expected to resume at each site?
4. The number of staff employed solely to conduct guided releases at each site.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please provide the requested information within the statutory timeframe under the Official Information Act 1982.

Ngā mihi nui,
Caleb
