Please provide me with the following:

-Please provide this data for as far back as records permit.
-Please provide the snapshot prison population for each of these dates.
As I am entitled to request under the OIA, please provide me with this data in an Excel spreadsheet.
Please contact me if you have any questions. You have my details.
Yours always,
Ti Lamusse
