Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Mail to Extreme Risk inmates

[You don't often get email from [FOI #29591 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Department of Corrections,

Is it possible to request the PRN of an inmate being held within the Extreme Risk Unit, and if so, are they able to receive emails or are they limited to correspondence through letters only?

Thanks,

Mia
