Dear Immigration Department,

I am writing to make an information access request regarding the relevant procedures on provision of clothing to immigration detainees at Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre (CIC). May I know,

1. In what circumstances would clothing be provided by immigration staff to detainees?

2. What kind of clothing is provided (ex. Are they uniforms or casual wear)? Are these provided upon admission to detention? Please specify the types of clothing (ex. Pants, t-shirts, sweater, underwear, etc) and number of each article that is provided to detainees.

3. What is the procedure for detainees to request additional clothing? How long does it usually take to provide them the requested clothing or shoes?

4. If the clothing or shoes are not in the appropriate size, are there avenues to apply for a change in size?

Thanks very much for your help on this matter. I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Gigi Lo

Dear Gigi Lo,

I refer to your request for access to information on 28 October 2022 and
our interim reply to you on 4 November 2022.  I hereby provide you with
the following information.

Detainees at the Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre ("CIC") are permitted
to wear private clothes during their detention.  For the purpose of
personal hygiene and keeping warm, detainees will upon their request(s) be
issued with clothing items (e.g. pants, t-shirts and underwear).  They may
make requests to staff of CIC for additional clothing which will be
considered on individual merit and provided upon approval.

I hope the information is useful to you.

Best Regards,

CHEUNG Kai-ho
