The exact matrix element for the production of two circularly polarized photons in double Compton scattering when the initial photon is also circularly polarized is calculated. The differential cross sections for the various photonelectron polarization correlations are obtained for high energy photons, i.e., taking only near forward emission of photons. It is found that irrespective of the spin of the initial electron, the cross section for either right or left circular polarization of all three photons is zero under this approximation.
