To Whom It May Concern:

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

The most recent version of whichever the state has, a general inmate handbook for women or inmate handbooks specific to the women's state prisons (Bledsoe County Correctional Complex, Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, and the Women’s Therapeutic Residential Center at the West Tennessee State Penitentiary).

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 7 business days, as the statute requires.

I did not ask for any information on specific offenders. Again, I am asking for the most recent version of whichever the state has, a general inmate handbook for women or inmate handbooks specific to the women's state prisons (Bledsoe County Correctional Complex, Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, and the Women’s Therapeutic Residential Center at the West Tennessee State Penitentiary).
