The Department of Justice advises:
(1) The Total Offender Management Solution (TOMS) report only provides a snapshot of statistics on prisoners currently undertaking the Prisoner Employment Program (PEP) at the time of running the report i.e. 24 August 2017. Therefore, the report cannot be backdated to as at 1 July 2017.
(a) 8 (as at 24 August 2017);
(b) 1 (as at 24 August 2017);
(c) 6 (as at 24 August 2017); and
(d) 0 (as at 24 August 2017).
