Here is the recent email exchange between myself and some reporters: Mr. Abraham, We’re working on an article about the state’s autopsy policy specifically as it pertains to inmates. This is partly due to the several recent eyebrow raising deaths in our prisons. As policy sits right now, we’re not entitled to cause of death or autopsy reports of inmates who die in state custody, even if we FOIA them – but this was not always the case in...
