Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Policies, procedures and/or documents pertaining to indexing for FamilySearch, otherwise known as Intellectual Reserve, Inc., a genealogical non-profit operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) by inmates within facilities run by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. This includes any documents regarding Family History Centers operated within such facilities, and any documents referencing LDS Correctional Services, a division of LDS.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Ms. Corcoran,
Thanks for your email. I am not surprised that there are no relevant documents, as it was only hinted that FamilySearch was thinking of expanding its operations of indexing within prisons to states such as California. I was expecting you wouldn't have any relevant records, but I had to check just in case, as most articles on FamilySearch and prison labor are a few years old, so the specifics could have changed.

Thanks again.

Best regards,
Burkely Hermann
