My FOIA request is really simple and easy to process. I am requesting information regarding an incident that occurred at the Correctional Treatment Facility in Washington DC, this is a jail in D.C. where Ryan Samsel is being held. There was an altercation between prison guards and Samsel that according to his attorney left him blind in one eye with a detached retina and a skull fracture. I am requesting any records from the DOJ who are prosecuting this case regarding any investigation they have conducted or files they have pertaining to this event and the treatment of prisoners at this facility.
