As a prison nurse I work with men in custody and I am working as a designated ISU (intervention and support unit) nurse where I manage and coordinate the care of the men who is AT RISK to themselves and/or others, the vulnerable population due to the acute or chronic mental health issues and work with the people who needs support for their prison journey.
Prions nurses are the part of a big team and most of the men and their whanau has a strong trust in us and they think that they can come us, the nurses any time and they feel free to ask HELP with anything related to health and well-being whilst in the prison.
As an experienced prison nurse and as a trained AOD (Alcohol and other drugs) practitioner my responses to Maori and local community is to improve the health (physical as well as mental) by effective AOD supports.
The plans and interventions provided should be culturally appropriate and equitable for Maori and local community without any system’s delays this also will help to achieve the vision and organisational strategic goals as mentioned below.
Improve public safety: We improve public safety through the management of safe and secure custodial facilities, liaison with Police, comprehensive risk assessment tools, electronic monitoring and, where necessary, civil detention.
Reduce reoffending: We provide rehabilitation and reintegration services to help people address the causes of their offending and build positive relationships with their whānau. By helping people break the cycle of reoffending, we also improve the safety of our communities.
Reduce overrepresentation of Māori: We, along with our partners, aim to reduce the overrepresentation of Māori in the corrections system. We cannot do this alone, and a joined-up approach across the justice sector and with the community is critical to addressing this disparity. Most importantly we must work closely alongside our Māori partners
