The Department of Justice (the Department) advises:
(a) As at 20 June 2018 there were 4931 sentenced prisoners and a total prisoner population of 6859. Please note, only sentenced prisoners receive an IMP.
(b) Yes.
(i) The June 2018 report shows that of those prisoners that require an IMP, 804 are outstanding. Those prisoners without an IMP are on a waitlist for a sentence planning officer to complete their IMP. Not all sentenced prisoners are required to receive an IMP. In accordance with Department policy Adult Custodial Rule 18 – Assessment and Sentence Management of Prisoners (ACR18) prisoners serving effective sentences of less than six (6) months do not receive an IMP.
(ii) The Department does not record statistics on the average time it takes to establish an IMP. The time taken to complete an IMP varies as the complexity of each individual prisoner’s case can significantly differ.
(c) As at 20 June 2018, 2960 prisoners have an IMP.
