State and local facilities holding USMS offenders.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

The list of all state and local facilities currently detaining individuals on behalf of the US Marshals Service (http://www.usmarshals.gov/duties/factsheets/prisoner_ops.pdf). If possible, please indicate the name and location of the facility, the number of individuals currently detained, and the offense for which the individual is detained. All other statistical data related to containment at state and local facilities would also be appreciated.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The documents being requested are a vital component of an ongoing journalistic investigation of public-private corrections partnerships, a critical element in the current discussion of our criminal justice system. The materials will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com and will by analyzed and contextualized by a representative of the news media/press. This request is made in the process of news gathering and is not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton
