5.3.1 Concern was raised about the DCS' persistent mention of the White Paper on Remand Detention and consultation which had reportedly taken place in relation to it, but which civil society organisations and other stakeholders were completely unaware of. 5.3.2 The DCS' intention to reduce the average length of time remand detainees remained in custody was noted, but concern was raised that the target relies on the Section 63A of the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA) which has to date not delivered the desired outcomes. Limiting the duration of pre-trial detention should be regulated in the CPA and not in the Correctional Services Act.
