Remaining Confrontation Prisoners.

We understand general position to

be that number of confrontation

prisoners is now approximately

500; that assuming full remission

this total will be reduced to

approximately 250 by end of year

by which time virtually all lesser

confrontation prisoners should have

been released; that majority of

remaining 250 will be those who

have been convicted of offences

which were serious either because

they involved violence or for some

other reason, and have been

sentenced to two years imprisonment

or longer; that majority of these

will be due for release by end

1969 but that some eighty to ninety

of them will remain in prison

thereafter, some until 1974.

Grate+

correct understanding of general

position and for an up to date

breakdown of

those remaining in prison after end of 1968

with projected r

quarterly

e together

rate of release and

offences for which they were

convicted.
