Dear Immigration Department,

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

1. Are there arrangements for laundry for immigration detainees at CIC?
2. If so, how often are laundry services provided?
3. What laundry-related tools and products are provided to detainees? For example, laundry detergent and racks for drying clothes.
4. If there are relevant guidelines / procedures for the circumstances specified above, may I receive a copy of the relevant documents?

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

Sincerely,
Gigi Lo
