This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
All contracts (and their amendments) and memorandums of understanding entered into by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for services and activities related to the Cibola County Correctional Center (https://www.cca.com/facilities/cibola-county-correctional-center)
