Saili Matagi is a group-based programme delivered in the Pacific focus unit for male prisoners of Pasifika descent with a medium risk of re-offending who are serving a sentence for violent offences. It teaches a range of skills so that participants can change attitudes and behaviours and so reduce the likelihood of them re-offending. It involves family and community groups in the participants’ rehabilitation and reintegration.

The programme was designed in 2003-2004 by a Pasifika staff member working in Ara Poutama Aotearoa (NZ Corrections Services) at that time.
