1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#

Departmental Output Expense Trends

Hokai Rangi describes a strategic direction that puts safety and wellbeing at the foundation of all its activities for people serving sentences and orders, and people on remand, staff, victims and communities. From 2015 through 2018, Corrections experienced a sharp increase in the prison population that necessitated investment to lift safety settings in order keep staff and people serving sentences and orders safe, and to build a greater level of resilience into the prison network to absorb future spikes in the prison population. Moreover, the increased complexity of the community population has driven greater investment in electronic monitoring and additional numbers of probation officers. Contractual and inflationary uplifts also continue to drive baseline increases across the unionised workforce and external contractors including Public Private Partnerships who operate the private prisons.

Since 2017, there has been increased investment in mental health, alcohol and other drug programmes, Maori pathways and housing solutions for those on release. The increase in the prison population also drove investment in new and innovative solutions to increase health outcomes and reduce the long term prison population. Led by Corrections and in partnership with the justice sector, the High Impact Innovation Programme was developed to target the enduring issues that affect New Zealand communities through tactical initiatives that contribute to a safer and more effective justice system.

Departmental Capital Expenditure

Corrections is continuing to improve the quality of its existing asset footprint and modernise the prison network to deliver and support the wellbeing and safety of staff and people in prison. The short term reduction in the prison population over 2020/21 providing the opportunity to remove poor quality capacity and create resilience to respond to changing demand and service needs. The asset base has also changed with proportionately greater investment in areas such as digital technology which is increasing depreciation and the capital charge profile.

Design and construction of the Waikeria Prison Development including the Waikeria Mental Health and Addiction Service Facility under a Public Private Partnership also continues. When complete in 2022, this will provide 500 high security beds and 100 mental health and addiction service beds.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation decreased by $50.595 million to $1,468.408 million mainly due to:

a decrease of $56.237 million in asset management costs largely due to the suspension of sub-optimal prison capacity and asset revaluation impacts, and
a decrease of $26.900 million due to the Waikeria Prison incident insurance funding in 2020/21, partly offset by
an increase in the Waikeria Prison Development including the Waikeria Mental Health and Addiction Service Facility funding of $17.400 million
new funding in Budget 2021/22 for the High Impact Innovation Programme to deliver transformation of the criminal justice system, and electronic monitoring demand and price pressures totalling $9 million
new funding in Budget 2021/22 of $4.160 million for the incremental resources, services and digital tools to operationalise the Waikeria Prison Development.
