National is working to make prisons more effective. Rimutaka Prison’s first container cell block has exceeded expectations proving to be safe, cost effective, and efficient. The unit, along with expanded use of double-bunking has averted the prison capacity crisis.
Made of recycled shipping containers, the unit was constructed much quicker and 30 per cent cheaper than comparable, traditionally built units.
In its first year of operation, the number of incidents within container units has been significantly lower than in comparable units. This reflects the secure design of the unit and good management and vigilance of Corrections staff.
National’s commitment to improve prisons, enhance safety, and get value for money is proving effective.
