Auckland Central Remand Prison (ACRP)

Auckland Central Remand Prison (ACRP) opened in July 2000 and is the main reception prison for newly remanded male prisoners in the Auckland region. ACRP can accommodate a maximum of 432 prisoners, including up to 32 sentenced prisoners who assist with internal self-sufficiency activities such as food preparation and cleaning.

The prison was specifically designed for remand prisoners. Remand offenders generally spend a short period of time in prison, so there is a high turnover of prisoners. The accommodation units allow prisoners to be segregated into manageable groups.

ACRP employs 184 staff and is part of Prison Services' Northern Region.
