State: Here’s a completely unnecessary measure to restrict the Freedom of Information law on a bogus fear, namely that convicts will request info on prison staff, then hire or contrive harm to them, blackmail them or otherwise. Yet no examples are offered. In the past three years, while the number of FOI requests from prisoners has gone up, only 3 of 450 have involved DOC personnel files. There is no reason to enact this measure, and there is a suspicion that it is being pushed so DOC files on the only completed capital case may be exempted.
State: Health care bill, or two bills, in the works. Something needs to happen, and not just obstruction.

Convicts have no business requesting FOI. In fact, they should have no rights! No TV, no gym, no computers, no GED programs - nada! They should sit and rot!!!! By the time someone gets to prison in our justice system, they have exhausted all their priviledges and rights.
