DETENTION OF ASYLUM SEEKERS – ARTICLES 1,3,4,10,11 AND 16
38.
Detention of asylum seekers in New Zealand can occur under two circumstances.
Those arriving at the border are initially held in police custody pending a risk
assessment and court hearing. After the hearing, claimants are either detained at a
prison if identity or security concerns are raised, conditionally released to an approved
address in their community, or held at the Mangere Accommodation Centre. Those
held at a prison are still generally detained together with convicted prisoners.
