Subject: Official Information request - Convictions of transgender
prisoners

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

I am interested in the kinds of offences that transgender prisoners have
been convicted of.

 

Given that, as of October 2015, the Department of Corrections noted that
there are only 19 transgender prisoners, it would take very little time to
pull up this data for each transgender prison and collate the information.
I also feel that the information I am requesting is very much in the
public interest.

 

My questions are as follows:

1) what are all of the offences transgender prisoners, who have been
sentenced, have been convicted of and are currently incarcerated for?

2) Please provide the total number of offences of transgender prisoners,
who have been sentenced, as well as the offences broken down by offence
type

 

I will be more than happy to receive uncollated and anonymous information,
organised in a way like this (as an example):

 

"Offender 1: 5 offences, 4 offences against a person, 1 theft Offender 2:
2 offences, one sexual offence, one drug offence..."

 

Please keep all of this information anonymous.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ti Lamusse
