Good Afternoon,

This is in response to your below Freedom of Information Act request that was initially received on September 20, 2018, seeking 1) the policy of the D.C. Department of Corrections (DOC) regarding “employment” of inmates and 2) “the most recent report regarding currently-employed” inmates. A copy of records found to be responsive to item 2 is attached. Individuals’ identifiers are redacted on privacy grounds and pursuant to D.C. Code § 2-534(a)(2). The policy requested in item 1 is the Inmate Institutional Work Program, PP Number 4210.2H, posted at DOC website at www.doc.dc.gov<http://www.doc.dc.gov>. You may visit the site to obtain a copy.

Your request is also for “all reports regarding post-incarceration employment ….” DOC does not create or maintain the records sought.

If you consider this response a denial of your FOIA request, please note that, under D.C. Official Code § 2-537 and 1 DCMR 412, you have the right to appeal FOIA request denial to the Mayor or to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.

If you elect to appeal to the Mayor, your appeal must be in writing and must contain “Freedom of Information Act Appeal” or “FOIA Appeal” in the subject line of the letter as well as on the outside of the envelope. The appeal must include (1) a copy of the original request, (2) a copy of this letter, (3) a statement of the circumstances, reasons, and or arguments advanced in support of disclosure, and (4) a daytime telephone number. The appeal may be emailed to foia.appeals@dc.gov<mailto:foia.appeals@dc.gov> or mailed to the Mayor’s Office of Legal Counsel (MOLC) at 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 407, Washington, D.C. 20004. Further, a copy of all appeal materials must be forwarded to me.

Failure to follow these administrative steps will result in delay in the processing and commencement of a response to your appeal to the Mayor.

Sincerely,

OLUWASEGUN OBEBE
