“Different Name. Same Concerns.”

The New Zealand courts already ruled against extreme isolation regimes in Taunoa v Attorney-General [2005] NZCA 513.

Now families across New Zealand are asking why PERD, PERU and TNOC conditions appear to mirror many of the same concerns:
• prolonged isolation  
• minimal human contact  
• unclear pathways out  
• intelligence-led restrictions with little transparency  
• serious mental health impacts  
• devastating harm to children and families  

In less than 24 hours, our survey received responses describing:
• limited rehabilitation access  
• complaints going unanswered  
• restricted legal communication  
• delayed property and medical forms  
• hopelessness around progression and parole  

Families are not asking for offending to be excused.  
We are asking for lawful, humane treatment, meaningful rehabilitation, clear review pathways and accountability.

The courts already warned what happens when restrictive prison management lacks safeguards.

We cannot afford to repeat history.
