Records Requests

NOTICE: As of July 1, 2023, Prison Medical Staff have transferred from the Utah Department of Corrections (UDC) to the Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The UDC no longer has the authority to release medical, mental health, dental, or vision records. Individuals seeking these types of records must now submit a request directly to the Correctional Health Services Division on the Department GRAMA Records Portal.

Corrections provide public records upon request in line with the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Corrections deals with certain issues that exempt records from release due to safety and security or privacy concerns, but otherwise the Department strives to function in a transparent manner that instills public trust. Certain information about inmates and offenders under our supervision is available to the general public without a GRAMA request.

Please note: Media should contact the Public Information Officer initially to see if the information sought is available without a formal records request. If you are seeking to have specific data/statistics compiled or gain informational answers to specific questions about this agency, contact the PIO. If you are looking for an actual document or a record you believe to be maintained by the department, you can file a GRAMA request. GRAMA specifically pertains to records that are produced and maintained by a governmental agency. A GRAMA request entitles the public to copies of, or access to, records that exist and are used for conducting the public’s business.
