42026 (2025). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister of Corrections: What was the in-person visiting entitlement at Mt Eden as at July 2025?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I am advised that Corrections acknowledges how important it is for people in prison to keep in contact with friends and family. In accordance with section 73 of the Corrections Act 2004, every person in prison is entitled to at least one 30-minute in-person visit each week. In addition to in-person visits, prisoners can communicate with family and friends via a variety of ways, including mail, email, and telephone calls.
