This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was successful.

Dear Immigration Department,

I am writing to make a data access request about the gender of detainees at Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre. May I know, in each of the years between 2018-20:

a) the detainee population on 31 December of each year broken down according to gender (men and women)

If a CSV or Excel format is possible, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise PDF or similar would be fine as well.

Yours faithfully,

Surabhi Chopra
