Overview of the Justice result card
Result
People released from Kaitoke Prison and their families/whānau are positively reintegrated into the Whanganui community.
Target population
People released from Kaitoke Prison and their families/whānau.
How success will be measured (indicator)
Partners expect that the data collected during the first action stage of data development will help them to select an indicator to measure progress against the desired result. Potential indicators could be the percentage of former inmates who after one year of being released from prison are:
- free of alcohol and drug abuse
- in stable employment
- in stable accommodation.
Summarised action plan
| Action | Lead agency | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Data development: The group will develop a new forum for working together. The first priority will be creating an agreed system of data collection and collation across government, non-government and iwi organisations who work with the target population. Data development will enable a deeper understanding of the nature of reintegration issues for people released from Kaitoke prison, and their families / whānau in terms of integrating into Whanganui. Building a set of robust data will inform the next actions in the longer term (ie. from January 2011) and will allow the group to measure progress. | Community Probation and Psychological Services |
