Mr. Thomas,
Very sorry for the delay. The Iowa Department of Corrections has completed its search if emails, however because another state agency is included in some email exchanges, a legal review is in the process. The legal review should be completed this week.
Thank you for your patience.

Your Records Request was sent via U.S. Postal Service on December 8th to
the address listed below in Somerville, Maryland. If that is not your
primary work address, have you checked to see if the request was received?
The mailing has not been returned to our Iowa Department of Corrections
sending address.
From: Scaletta, Fred
Need to correct. Records Request was sent to Sommerville, Massachusetts,
not Maryland.
