Statistics for remanded inmates, who are not convicted
J Hudson made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for J Hudson to read recent responses and update the status.
From: J Hudson
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I would like to know how many people are incarcerated on remand because their bail was revoked by a judge, only to have the case dismissed with no charges.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
