Subject: CM: Official Information request - Bank Accounts Upon Release/ID

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

I would like to request details under the OIA regarding the Bank Accounts
Upon Release scheme.

 

1. What are the types of ID provided and the total number for each ID type
provided in this program?

2. How do you decide what type of ID each prisoner gets?

3. Who pays for the ID?

4. How many prisoners applied for bank accounts, how many were
successfully opened, and how many were rejected?

 

Thank you so much for your help

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Felix Lee
