Subject: CM: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Statistics for remanded inmates, who are not convicted

[You don't often get email from [FOI #28012 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Department of Corrections,

I would like to know how many people are incarcerated on remand because their bail was revoked by a judge, only to have the case dismissed with no charges.

This could include:
Judge alone trails where the remanded inmate is dismissed of all charges and released.

Jury trials where the remanded inmate is dismissed of all charges by a jury of their peers and released.

Yours faithfully,

J Hudson
