Dear Department of Corrections,

In a response to an Official Information Act request by Alex Harris, viewable at http://fyi.org.nz/request/targets_for_pu..., it was noted that there had been one wrongful imprisonment and two wrongful releases at a Serco run prison. I would like to request under the Official Information Act some information related to this. I would like to request:

a) The total number of wrongful releases across all prisons during the same target period that Serco was assessed against
b) The total number of wrongful imprisonments across all pruisons during the same target period that Serco was assessed against
c) Any reports, correspondence, emails, papers, other documents or information that relate to the one wrongful imprisonment and/or two wrongful releases that occurred at a Serco prison or any following investigation
d) Any reports, correspondence, emails, papers, or other documents or information that relate to the last wrongful release and wrongful imprisonment that occurred at a Department of Corrections ran prison or any following investigation

I do not know the scope of documents that fall under requests C and D. In the event it is large enough that the Department will be requesting a charge or refusing under s18(f) I would like to instead request that the titles or subjects of the released information be disclosed, so that I can further refine my request to the pieces of information most relevant.

Feel free to contact me if you wish me to clarify my request.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger

Dear OCE Corrections Info,

I would note that your extended deadline for answering my Official Information Act passed yesterday. May I please have an immediate update on the status of my request.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Grainger
