Dear Mr. Ward,
I am writing in response to the three release of records requests you recently sent by fax to 1) Central Office Records; 2) MCF-Faribault; and 3) MCF-Oak Park Heights. This letter serves to respond to all three requests.
Attached please find the records you requested. The Minnesota Department of Corrections declines to provide the video footage you requested as it is confidential. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 13.85 subd. 3, corrections and detention data are confidential if release of the data would “endanger the effectiveness

If you have questions, please contact me at the telephone number listed below.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
