Information is not available in the form requested.

Of those so discharged in 1978 for whom information is available, none had no previous convictions, 19 per cent. had one or two previous convictions, 59 per cent. had three to five previous convictions, and 22 per cent. had six or more previous convictions. Figures for 1979 are not yet available.
