Corrections Inmate Employment (CIE) is set to benefit from one of the country’s top Staff Training College graduates. Paul Jack received the Minister’s Excellence Award from Corrections Minister Hon Judith Collins.
“I have no doubt that Paul’s professionalism will be an inspiration to prisoners seeking to better themselves through education and work skills,” said the Minister speaking at the Staff Training College at Rimutaka Prison.
Paul will go on to join the kitchen tutoring team at Northland Region Corrections Facility (NRCF). He will be the fifth tutor teaching cooking and catering skills to prisoners. Up to 25 prisoners, across two shifts, work in the kitchen daily. They are studying toward NZQA qualifications in food preparation, hygiene, cooking methods and kitchen safety and are responsible for feeding around 280 prisoners three meals daily – almost 25,000 meals a month.
