To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, and regarding the press release issued on March 1, 2021 (https://www.middlesexsheriff.org/press-releases/news/middlesex-sheriff%E2%80%99s-office-establishes-pre-release-center-sentenced-females), I request copies of the following records:

a) Documentation of the total cost of or expenditures to date on the new pre-release center for “sentenced females”

b) Documentation showing how the new pre-release center for “sentenced females” was paid for (including but not limited to a legislative appropriation, bond funding, grants)

c) Documentation of the architecture firm or other entity hired to design (including any work on repurposing existing buildings and spaces) the new pre-release center for “sentenced females,” including the name of the project lead

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

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

David Weimer
