To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Louisiana Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
The following materials regarding the imposition, assessment, collection and balances of inmate fees and debt:
All current policies and procedures regarding medical and room & board costs or fees for which inmates are or may become liable. Please include all policies and procedures related to how fees are set, accrued, imposed, collected, and enforced (such as those related to per diem fees, ability to pay determinations, penalties for late or non-payment, authorization for civil or criminal action for payment enforcement, etc).
All reports, databases, spreadsheets, or equivalent materials regarding debts/restitution paid to or owed to this department or any facility/agency under its jurisdiction in FY2021. Please include all relevant data regarding medical and room & board costs, including the number of individuals charged for medical and room & board costs or fees and the total amount of medical and room & board fees imposed in FY2021.
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 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,

Hello,
Thank you for your response to my inquiry. Though I received the Department of Correction's policies and procedures regarding inmate medical fees, I did not receive the total amount of inmates that were charged medical fees or the total amount of medical fees that were collected in the fiscal year of 2021.
In addition, I did not receive the department's policies and procedures regarding room & board fees, the total amount of inmates that were charged room & board fees, and the total amount of room & board fees that were collected during the fiscal year of 2021.
Is it possible that you could revisit these outstanding items from my initial request?
Thank you,
Kelly Stevenson
