Dear Correctional Services Department,
Thank you for your reply and the information provided.
1) I note that for items (A)(i) and (B)(i), you "do not maintain the statistical information disaggregated by nationality". May I confirm whether you maintain the non-disaggregated statistics, ie.
(A) Number of people admitted to NKCI in 2023 (between the date of its reopening as an immigration facility on May 18, 2023 to current day), and
(B) End of month population at NKCI from its reopening as an immigration detention facility (ie. May 18, 2023) to current day (ex. May 31, June 30, July 31)?
2) Thank you for providing the average daily population at NKCI in June 2023. May I know whether you have the corresponding statistic for May 2023 and July 2023?
Thanks for your help on this matter.
Kind regards,
