CAT/C/NZL/CO/6 (a) Continuing to reduce overcrowding, particularly through the wider application of non-custodial measures as an alternative to imprisonment, in the light of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Measures; (b) Ensuring that adequate mental health care is provided for all persons deprived of their liberty; (c) Amending the Corrections Amendment Act 2013 to the extent required to remove inconsistencies with the relevant provision of the Convention. While taking note of the statement made by the representative of New Zealand that “contract-managed prisons must comply with the same domestic laws, international standards and obligations relating to prisoners’ welfare and management as publicly managed prisons”, the Committee recommends that the State party ensure that privately run places of detention fully comply with those laws, standards and obligations. Indigenous people in the criminal justice system 14. While noting with satisfaction the efforts and subsequent measures taken by the State party to address the situation of indigenous people, including the prevention strategy entitled “Turning of the Tide” and the Creating Lasting Change Strategy 2011–2015, the Committee remains concerned at information received that indigenous people continue to be disproportionately affected by incarceration. The Committee is also concerned at information received that, while making up 15 per cent of the State party’s population, Maori comprise 45 per cent of arrested individuals and over 50 per cent of prison inmates, and, moreover, that more than 60 per cent of female inmates are Maori (arts. 2, 11 and 16). The State party should increase its efforts to address the overrepresentation of indigenous people in prisons and to reduce recidivism, in particular its underlying causes, by fully implementing the “Turning of the Tide” prevention strategy through the overall judicial system and by intensifying and strengthening community-based approaches with the involvement of all stakeholders and the increased participation of Maori civil society organizations. Excessive use of seclusion in mental health facilities 15. While welcoming the adoption of the Mental Health and Addiction Service Development Plan 2012-2017, the aim of which is to eliminate the practice of secluding persons affected by mental health and addiction issues in the State party, and the commitment of the Ministry of Social Development to finish processing all historic abuse claims submitted to it by the end of 2020, the Committee is concerned at information received on the persistent seclusion of persons in mental health facilities for the purposes of punishing, disciplining and protecting, as well as for health-related reasons. The Committee notes that a significant number of victims have been secluded for more than 48 hours and that Maori are more likely to be secluded. The Committee is concerned at information that the State party continues to include, in new psychiatric facilities, cells specifically designed for solitary confinement. The Committee is also concerned that, according to information received from non-governmental sources, 60-70 per cent of people in detention have either a learning disability or a mental illness. The Committee notes that the State party failed to investigate or hold any individual accountable for the nearly 200 allegations of torture and ill-treatment against minors at Lake Alice Hospital. The Committee also notes the lack of relevant statistical information (arts. 11, 14 and 16). 5
