Subject: HPRM: Official Information request - Review of double bunking
assessment protocols

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

In a media report from September 2017 a Corrections spokesman stated the
double bunking protocols would be reviewed following a series of rapes
([5]http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/3...).
I am requesting a copy of this review. If the review is not yet finalised
I seek the most recent draft and the most recent timetable for completion
of the review.

 

Given that the Corrections Amendment Bill is currently before the Justice
Select Committee and includes changes to the management of cell sharing, I
ask that a response be provided urgently.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

BAW Russell
