Dear Felipe De La Hoz:
Thank you for your interest in public records of Florida Department of Corrections. Your request has been received and is being processed. Your request was received in this office on 1/5/2022 12:11:20 PM and given the reference number R007761-010522 for tracking purposes.  Please be advised that we currently have an 8-10 week backlog and your request will be processed in the order of receipt. Please do not submit duplicate requests, as this will only slow down the process.  If you need to update your request, please respond to this email advising what you need updated.  Also, please do not send the same request using different methods to transmit the request (mail, fax, phone, etc.), or to different offices or institutions as this will slow down the process as well. The same custodians will work on your request no matter how or where it is submitted.  We are unable to expedite requests. Records Requested: Pursuant to the Florida sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
Releasable incident reports, post-fatality documentation, and other records relating specifically to deaths in custody, in such cases where cause of death is related to complications arising from COVID-19 infection, and which took place between December 1, 2020 and the most recent date available. Please note and provide an explanation for any redactions, deletions, withholdings, and exclusions determined to be-appropriate.
Your request will be assigned to the relevant department(s) and custodians to locate the information you seek and determine the volume of responsive records and any costs associated with satisfying your request. You will be contacted about the availability and/or provided with copies of the records in question.  If there is a cost associated with your request, prior to any records being prepared for release, you will need to make payment on the invoice that is issued in response to the responsive records. Once payment is received, the responsive records will be prepared for release, including the redaction of information that is exempt from public record.  This process will be done in order of payment receipt.
You can monitor the progress of your request at the link below and you'll receive an email when you have information to review or respond to, as well as at each step of the request through completion.  Again, thank you for using the Florida Department of Corrections Public Records Portal. https://floridadoc.govqa.us/WEBAPP/_rs/RequestEdit.aspx?rid=7761&coid= (https://u8387778.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=6HtRfOYLt5fXvpttM-2FU1HacYq8m-2Bf3b-2BmADLt-2Fjt5tDQlYl2j102I5kJCIobpaMEDO4vUned-2BLhFVCyUs0vE9-2B5h6WP2WmJbSHEX4DHwizI-3DGXJ3_USUnGSPdqQC3unj26Bpu4cJUYZ5rUgRRyiiJN4JjUgLDx7qMbAbVimDpYBjJuXWt5qAVMtDrUER1N3hshJ-2B4Zt99TTiGXXroqIRmzX1NkFbC3D8mPICm8eCzxSCwUT3WWH8Qwl59TrNtGQa-2F1xtFpKTrJ8-2Ba7cZs39SL-2BozFquISAHH4fOh7xsqghANboR6w5FlodASRZiiO0elQLY1NWoGnT-2FTmgt-2FmkH3nHpXtoRU-3D)
