Convictions of transgender prisoners
Ti Lamusse made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections
The request was refused by Department of Corrections.
From: Ti Lamusse
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
