there must be a development of strategies and implementation that safeguards the rights and mana of the child; that recognises how valuable they are; that cherishes and upholds the concept of mokopunatanga; that ensures that connections to whakapapa are revealed and nurtured; that understands whänau in hapü settings and works towards collective security and flourishing of all whanau”.62 The same applies to women caught up in the deep end of the criminal justice system. They need to be nourished and helped to flourish. This report demonstrates that much work remains to be done. “The harsh conditions of prolonged solitary confinement in Separates and Management Units are similarly inappropriate, and grossly disproportionate to the risk posed by the women incarcerated in them.” 6.2 Key recommendations Some of the recommendations below repeat recommendations made in my 2017 and 2020 reports. Others are new and reflect the specific needs of women. 1 Strategies for the management of women in prisons, as identified in Corrections’ policy documents and commissioned studies, should be implemented, and implementation should be regularly and substantively reviewed. 2 The overrepresentation of Mäori and Pacific women in harsher forms of segregated housing requires urgent attention and the development of culturally responsive programmes and unconscious bias training. 3 Plans to develop a new programme for women identified as highrisk announced in the Women’s Strategy, Change Lives Shape Futures should be prioritised. The new programme, once developed, should not have segregation at its core. 4 Entry and exit criteria from segregated housing should be clarified and tightened. 62 Professor Tracey McIntosh Brief of Evidence for Contextual Hearing Royal Commission of Inquiry Abuse in Care and Faith Based Institutions.
