submitted by the court, district attorney, or law enforcement agency,
pursuant to this section, with postage prepaid, addressed to the
attorney for the defendant, if any, and to the defendant, in care of
the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and a copy of any
statement submitted by the attorney for the defendant, with postage
prepaid, shall be mailed to the district attorney.

sentence of death or an indeterminate term with or without the
possibility of parole, the clerk shall, within 60 days after judgment
has been pronounced, mail with postage prepaid, to the prison or
other institution to which the person convicted is delivered, a copy
of the charging documents, a copy of waiver and plea forms, if any,

shall mail with postage prepaid, to the prison or other institution
to which the person convicted is delivered, a copy of the charging
documents, a copy of the waiver and plea forms, if any, and upon
written request by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
or by an inmate, or by his or her counsel, for, among other purposes
