Subject: Official Information request - Stats on criminal convictions and sentences

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I'm looking for information around criminal convictions and sentences. Specifically the following:

In the last 7 years:

- Of people sentenced to prison, how many convictions of impriosnable offences did they have prior.

- Of people sentenced to prison, how many convictions did they have before being sentenced to prison for the first time.

- What were the offences people received their first term of imprisonment for.

- Of people sentenced to prison, how many had previous community based sentences which they breached prior to their first sentence of imprisonment.

- Of people sentenced to prison how many had previously had sentences involving some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Yours faithfully,

Mr J. Stewart
