Dear Department of Corrections,

 

In continuation to my previously made request dated; 4th June 2025,
referenced C197076, I would like to request the following information as
spreadsheet attachment appendix;

 

- Number of life sentenced inmates attending RtW that are yet to attend
their first parole hearing;

 

- Of those life sentenced inmates attending, which prison do each reside;

 

- Of those life sentenced inmates attending, what security classification
of each of those inmates hold at the time of application;

 

- Of those life sentenced inmates attending, how far out from their first
parole attendance, were they at the time of RtW application before being
approved; e.g 3-6mth prior, 6-12mth prior, 12-18mth prior and so on;

 

Yours faithfully,

 

C Lane
