Kia ora e hoa,
When Probation Officer Angelo Munro is not at work, you’ll hear him making music with Punk band Bleeders.
Angelo is the band’s lead singer and they have toured, won a few music awards and lived overseas, and for the first time they are translating one of their songs into te reo Māori.
For lead singer Angelo Munro, hearing his song transformed into te reo Māori was hugely special. The te reo Māori version of his song was written by Senior Adviser Māori Partnerships Daniel Hauraki, and is an interpretation capturing the feeling of ‘all that glitters’.
“It's about self-autonomy, rangatiratanga, about people being who they truly want to be and being able to live out their life and their own world view."
Angelo’s story is featured in a short documentary produced by Waiata Anthems, discussing his experience with the translation as well as his work as a probation officer.
The short documentary follows Angelo in a tikanga Māori programme, where he talks about the importance of the programme in allowing participants to acknowledge their mistakes in order to heal.
From writing about Corrections to becoming the subject matter
In the early 2000s, Michelle was writing about the induction process for Corrections Officers, and became curious if the role could be for her. Now, as a Senior Corrections Officer, working on the frontline for 18 years, she shares her reflections.
Programme paves positive pathways
A new programme is being piloted to help men to maintain what they have learnt in one of our Special Treatment Units. The six-month pilot creates a positive pathway for six men who have graduated from the unit to keep the kaupapa going in a dedicated self-care villa at Auckland South Corrections Facility.
