Answer

I am advised that while Corrections considers a person’s previous employment during the hiring process, there is no central repository of this information and therefore Corrections cannot answer this question without reviewing individual employment files. This would amount to substantial collation and manual analysis which I am not prepared to request my officials to do in order to respond to this question.
