of convictions for this group is 30, not 50 as previously advised. 
I trust the information provided is of assistance. Should you have any concerns 
with this response, I would encourage you to raise these with Corrections. 
Alternatively, you are advised of your right to also raise any concerns with the 
Office of the Ombudsman. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman,
