Guidelines on private clothing received by immigration detainees in TTG
Dear Correctional Services Department,
I am writing to make an information access request regarding guidelines on private clothing received by immigration detainees at Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution (TTG).
May I know,
1. Are immigration detainees at TTG allowed to receive clothing brought from outside?
2. If so, are there guidelines on clothing brought from outside (ex. By family or friend visitors) that can or cannot be received?
3. If so, may I receive a copy of such guidelines for reference?
Thanks very much for your help on this matter. I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
H. Y. Fung

any person who believes that a department has failed to comply with any
provision of the Code may ask the department to review the situation.

believes that a department has failed to properly apply any provision of
the Code may also complain to The Ombudsman. The Ombudsman’s address is –
