Remand is at Auckland Remand Prison, from which you get sent to Mt.Eden right after conviction and sentencing. Then you go to Paremoremo usually, Unit 6 (transfer unit). After that (usually within a week), you get sent to one of the camps. If you are High Medium or Maximum (D-block), then you stay at Paremoremo until your security classification is downgraded. Security classification has to do with alot of stuff, like type of crime, past criminal history and length of sentence.
You can request a transfer to the camp closest to your family, usually, upon arrival wherever they initially send you.
I was at Unit 6 in Paremoremo, for the length of my entire sentence.
It must have been a fair while since your last stint.Rimutaka is remand/medium/low all wrapped up into one.And if your lucky to get farm/garden duties it isint for as long as you think.If i was him i would be working the kitchen , the gym is attached.other wise its open for about one hr a day.
