Transgender Prisoners

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

This request is a followup to my previous request made on July 12
regarding offences committed by transgender prisoners and serves as
clarification of part of the request which was declined.

 

The first part of the question was were declined are as follows.

 

(1) A list of all convictions which relate to or contribute to their
current period of incarceration.

 

This part of the question can be provided as a total sum of all offences
for all offenders, as such there is no reason to decline due to possible
privacy issues, please provide a response to this question at the soonest
possible time.

 

The second part which was declined was

 

(2) A list of all previous convictions for each person

 

This part can be answered in a similar format, where a total sum is given
rather than a specific need to break this down by offender, again this
means that privacy of offenders is not an issue.  For this part of the
question please (if possible) show only crimes which have been committed
previously and do not contribute to a current period of incarceration.

 

(3) Please also provide information regarding if the two people currently
incarcerated for drugs offences are convicted for either supply or
possession. 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Lance O'Riley
