Hello,
The Montana Department of Corrections has reviewed your request from March 9, 2020 and we regret to inform you we will not be able to fulfill it in its existing form. It is not feasible for the department to dedicate the staff resources it would require to extract, review and deliver the extensive amount of information requested at this time. In addition, we anticipate the cost associated with fulfilling the request would be quite substantial. However, we would be happy to discuss modifications to your request that might make it more feasible for us to complete. For more information, please contact me at carolynn.bright@mt.gov<mailto:carolynn.bright@mt.gov> or (406) 444-0409. Thank you.
