Te Tari Tirohia has released its inspection report for Auckland Region Women’s Corrections Facility.
“The report highlights a number of challenges this site has faced over recent years with the volume of maximum security, high security and remand women prisoners,” says Chief Inspector Janis Adair. “Other challenges include needing to improve the outside exercise yards for the high security units.”
Ms Adair said she was pleased that most of the prisoners reported feeling safe from bullying and violence, and health staff were professional and compassionate. Staff working in the Intervention and Support Unit showed professionalism and skill when engaging with women with complex needs.
