Illustration for Corrections Act 2004

The department's annual report must include some important information. You will find a report on how the chief executive and prison managers did their jobs during the year. The report will also talk about the work of inspectors of corrections, including statistics on complaints made by people in prison or under supervision. You will see information on how prisoner calls and communications are supervised and controlled. The report must state how many prisoner calls were monitored and how many were shared with people outside the prison system. It will also include a report on the operation of security contracts and contract prisons, as well as measures to reduce drug and alcohol use by prisoners. The annual report is prepared under section 43 of the Public Finance Act 1989. The report will cover many areas, such as the types of programmes for accused and convicted prisoners, and the number of prisoners who took part in these programmes. It must also include a summary of reports on the operation of security contracts and contract prisons, and any actions taken as a result of these reports.
