Unfortunately the Department of Corrections chose to use an inaccessible image-based PDF format for their response letter, which makes it impossible to either click on or copy/paste the lengthy URLs embedded in the letter.
Having typed them out in full and checked they are correct, I have unfortunately found that the two URLs for pages on their own website no longer appear to exist.
