I see the Department of Corrections continues to choose to use the inaccessible format of image-based PDFs for their OIA response letters, and it seems they have also stopped their practice of sending the URLs embedded in these images as text.

Here is the URL embedded in the image of their response letter they have sent:

I would recommend you ask the Department of Corrections to re-send this information in an accessible format, such as a spreadsheet for tabular data.

Currently, having sent sideways images of tables of data, the information is about as difficult to use as they could possibly have managed.
