Drug Free Zone Sentence Enhancements: Department of Corrections, Oklahoma

Jenny Wadhwa filed this request with the Department of Corrections of Oklahoma.
Status
Completed

From: Jenny Wadhwa

To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
A copy of all records related to persons serving or who have served a sentence for a state drug free zone law violation – under 63 Okl.St.Ann. 2-401(F). Specifically, I am requesting a list of all people currently or formerly incarcerated for a drug-free zone violation from 2015 to the date that this request is processed. The list should include names, date of conviction, date of end of sentence, offenses convicted of, inmate ID, facility type (ie. state prison, local jail) and parole eligibility date.I would also like to request any demographic information that may be readily available for the above persons, such as, but not limited to, each person’s date of birth, age at arrest, current age, race, ethnicity and gender. If this time frame is overly burdensome, please provide a date range that can be fulfilled.
In addition, I am requesting a copy of any and all reports or studies generated by the state that discuss the passage and efficacy of the drug free zone law.
If there are any fees for obtaining or copying these records, please inform me should the cost exceed $100. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees as I am requesting the information on behalf of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of drug free zone laws. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes.
If possible, please provide the requested documents electronically in Excel format. However, if this is not feasible, please inform me of the available methods for obtaining these records. Further, if you expect a significant delay in responding to this request, please contact me with information concerning when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.
If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption that justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Good Day MuckRock Staff,

Following up on your open records request, our reports are not categorized in such a way that we could comprehensively collect the data requested. To produce records, we ask that you provide both an offender's name and a date range.

We do not index reports under the criteria requested. Since records filed under an offender's name, we need an offender's name to look in his or her records.

As we do not have any available open records responsive, I will close this request.

If you can provide offender(s) name(s) and a time range, please submit another open records request, and we can proceed with the record search. To do so, you may submit one here: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/5c7cb55139684143ac42d008ca5d32c0

Have a great day!
