The rural advocacy organization CURE has filed a lawsuit to obtain past prison review documents regarding Appleton, Minnesota. The organization alleges that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons failed to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request submitted in January.

The legal action aims to force the release of these specific records which the federal agency has not yet provided to the advocacy group.
