Hello Ms. Earl,

Thank you for your message. Although NMCD inmates are not currently held at TCDF, could you please confirm that the Department does not have IGSAs or other agreements facilitating current or future detention? Additionally, if you could confirm that there are no materials satisfying any of the other points, I would appreciate it very much.

Have a lovely evening,
Beryl

From: Earl, Catherine, NMCD

I have further researched this. We do not have any agreements for current or future detention, nor are there any materials responsive to your request.
