MARIHUANA INCARCERATION
----THE ECONOMIC COSTS TO OKLAHOMA’S TAXPAYERS


ADDENDUM - C
SAMPLE INQUIRE LETTER


--- Below is one of our sample inquire letters sent out to various state and governmental agencies.   In general it simply is asking if they knew the answer to our main question: “How many people were in prison for Marihuana?” (to which all replied in the negative)

Note that the wording is kept short and to the point, yet makes use of all the magic words buzz words such as: “Incarcerated Under State Authority” ; “Even If Marihuana Is Only One Of” ; etc.   The idea is to prevent them from using (what we term), “the name game*” to answer our question with an answer that while technically correct is far from the truth.

Under Oklahoma’s Open records Act, I would like to know how many prisoners are being incarcerated for Marihuana (either simple possession or sales), EVEN if marihuana is ONLY one of the charges/crimes that were committed.   Note that we are seeking the answer for ALL those prisoners being incarcerated UNDER STATE authority even if physically held in private prisons, county jail facilities, etc.

As we are a pro-Medical Cannabis group, we hope to use this info publicly to assist our cause.

-- The Office of [ . . . ] Attorney General of Oklahoma
