10月29日惩教部消息，改善监狱中妇女成果的战略，与有直接司法系统经验的妇女一起制定的新战略将有助于指导惩教署改善监狱中妇女的待遇。该战略”女性-飞往新站点”将为惩教所管理女囚犯确定一个新的方向，并确保她们得到的待遇符合政府关于改革司法部门的目标。
此前，奥克兰地区妇女惩教所发生了几起事件，导致惩教署指示全面改革监狱中妇女的管理。 惩教部长开尔文·戴维斯说：”显然，奥克兰监狱的三名妇女待遇存在一些严重缺陷，独立惩教监察局今天发布的一份报告再次强调了这些缺陷。这就是为什么今年早些时候，我立即告诉纠正，目前为止它迫切需要做得更好，我对制定的战略和做出的改变感到满意。 在制定这一战略时，惩教部门咨询了一系列主要是毛利妇女的人，包括有司法系统经验的妇女。有司法系统的经验妇女 、服务提供者、工作人员和 人们也是工作的一部分。虽然妇女只占新西兰监狱总人口的6%，但在监狱管理期间，她们有独特的需要”。
开尔文·戴维斯说：”目前的监狱系统以男性为中心，是一刀切的方法。监狱中的许多妇女过去极其复杂，常常是暴力和虐待的受害者。我们需要确保我们给他们最好的机会来恢复他们的生活，同时保护社区的安全。 除了新战略之外，农机联合会还进行了改革，以确保类似事件不再发生。其中包括解决人员配置压力和任命一名永久监狱管理人员、一项1200万纽币的工作方案，以建立更多的娱乐场，以及在监狱中采用创伤知情的做法。 在整个妇女监狱网络中，采取了若干举措，包括妇女通道方案，并在每个地点开设了妇监小组，使妇女有另一种方式表达她们的意见，并建议进行改革。
Strategy to improve outcomes for women in prison
A new strategy developed together with women who have had direct experience with the justice system will help guide Corrections in improving the treatment of women in prison.
The strategy – Wāhine – E rere ana ki te pae hou – will set a new direction for Corrections in its management of women prisoners and ensure they are treated in a way that fulfils the Government’s aims around reforming the justice sector.
It follows several concerning incidents at Auckland Region Women’s Corrections Facility (ARWCF) that led to a directive to Corrections to overhaul its management of women in prison.
“Clearly there were some serious failings around the treatment of three women at the prison in Auckland, which have again been highlighted in a report released today by the independent Corrections Inspectorate,” Kelvin Davis said.
“That is why earlier this year I immediately told Corrections it urgently needed to do better and I’m pleased with the strategy developed and changes made so far.”
In developing the strategy, Corrections consulted with a range of mostly wāhine Māori, including women with experience of the justice system. Whānau, service providers, staff and iwi were also part of the work.
While women make up just six per cent of the total prison population in New Zealand, they have unique needs while being managed in prison.
“The current prison system is male-focused, a one-size-fits-all approach,” Kelvin Davis said.
“Many women in prison have had extremely complex pasts, often being the victims of violence and abuse themselves. We need to make sure we are giving them the best opportunity to rehabilitate their lives while keeping the community safe.”
Alongside the new strategy, changes have been made at ARWCF to make sure similar incidents do not happen again. They include moves to address staffing pressures and the appointment of a permanent prison manager, a $12 million programme of work to establish additional recreation yards and a trauma-informed approach to practice at the prison.
Across the wider women’s prison network a number of initiatives including the Mana Wāhine Pathway programme and the introduction of wāhine panels at each site giving women another way to voice their opinion and suggest changes have been introduced.
