Chief Ombudsman s unannounced visit of Paremoremo prison reveals failures © RNZ/Jessie Chiang Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier inspected Paremoremo prison in Auckland unannounced and found prisoners were being locked in cells for 22 to 23 hours a day, despite new units opening to aid rehabilitation. In a report released today on his visit, Boshier said he found a number of significantly concerning issues, including two breaches of the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. We are not achieving what we are meant to in terms of our obligations. That s why I m being fairly clear in my criticism. There appears to be a serious and unacceptable lack of ventilation, compounded by impending summer heat, in the low and high security units.
