Jeffrey Magnuson is Probably The One That Tossed Your Cell

If you've ever been an inmate at the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) and returned to your cell to find it tossed with items missing, you can probably thank Jeff Magnuson for that. It always seemed like Magnuson was the one lurking in the shadows waiting for an inmate to go to court, medical, visiting, law library, etc. so that he could ransack their cell. He didn't just take anything he thought might be against MCDC policy. He would leave the cell a mess.#jeffmagnuson #multnomahcountyjail #theft

Captain Kurtiss Morrison Rubber Stamps Staff Misconduct

Captain Kurtiss Morrison of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) does all he can to minimize inconsistent statements made by his subordinates when whitewashing their conduct. I found this out a couple years back when I was falsely accused of kicking/elbowing deputies and resisting during escort from one floor of the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) to another. Anyone that actually read all the incident reports could tell that they were all different stories that shared some lies, but always had at least one other statement contradicting each one. You wouldn't be able to tell that from Captain Morrison's review. He seems to focus on aggregating inconsistent statements to create a long list of accusations while only pointing out a couple inconsistencies to make it look like he looked at the reports objectively. The end result tends to be a bunch of inconsistent statements being described as consistent statements where each inconsistent accusation ends up sounding like another consistent accusation, but without any mention of contradictory facts. Morrison basically selects whatever parts of the incident reports favor the deputies and rubber stamps their statements without any scrutiny. As a result an allegation against an inmate such as throwing elbows, mule kicking a deputy, and throwing spicy chip seasoning in their faces is written up as just that with no mention that the deputies had no evidence of injuries, that the one claiming to have been mule kicked also claimed to have slipped on chips (not powder), and other things. A truthful review would have had more questions than answers, or at least a question. This type of rubber stamping only serves to enable illegal customs within the MCSO. Customs like always supporting fellow deputies no matter what they do or say. If they abuse inmates and cover it up then the higher ups will not do any sort of review to question them. Note how the pdf shows another deputy (Gary Glaze) justifying use of force based on assumption, but Morrison never questions that. That basically functions as an endorsement of Glaze's justification and creates an environment where deputies know that they can use force even if the inmate does not have the chance to cooperate.#kurtissmorrison #garyglaze #multnomahcountyjail

Sgt. Gary Glaze Justifies Force Based on Assumption of Non-Compliance

Sergeant Gary Glaze of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) endorses forced strip searches based on an assumption of non-compliance. at the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC). In the pdf uploaded with this report he discusses the conduct of Sgt. Matthew Ingram. Ingram used force to compel my compliance with a strip search without first giving me a chance to comply voluntarily. Glaze wrote: "Once they arrived in 4F, Sgt. lngram made the decision to cut lnmate Sullivan's clothes off to be changed into a white suit for disciplinary level 4. Sullivan had been non-compliant the entire process and there was no reason for Sgt. lngram to believe Sullivan would have been compliant with the strip search and clothing exchange. I conclude that the decision to cut Sullivan's clothes off while he was already restrained and at a position of disadvantage was the best decision to minimize the possibility of furthering the use of force." The problem with that is that it it extends the typical scenarios in which force in justified to one in which the need for force is unknown. Normally force is legally justified if an inmate is actively or passively resisting either by forcefully fighting the deputies' efforts or just not following instructions. This justification extends to scenarios in which an deputy thinks that the inmate will not comply and decides to use force anyway based on an assumption that ordering the inmate to comply will not work. Imagine if this becomes widespread in law enforcement? It would justify tackling people as they walk down the street just because the officer thinks they will resist arrest. This is flawed even if the person is known to the officer as having a history of resisting, fleeing, etc. A cop can't justify the use of force just because he thinks giving a command won't result in compliance. Lets look at a hypothetical scenario. A deputy is sent to the home of a suspect with an active warrant, the suspect has priors for assaulting police and resisting arrest, and the deputy personally recalls encountering the suspect before. During that encounter the suspect told the deputy that he would kill him if he ever saw him again and that he would always be carrying a gun just in case. Would that justify the deputy just shooting the suspect on sight and saying that based on his previous behavior he knew that he would not cooperate with any peaceful attempt to arrest him and that shooting him was justified to make sure that he would never have the chance to attempt to make good on his prior threats? Of course not. It would go down as the unjustified murder of civilian. Law enforcement has to at least give people the opportunity to comply before they can justify using force. #garyglaze #multnomahcountyjail #matthewingram #stripsearches

Curt Bull Could and Should be More Forthcoming

Multnomah County Sheiff's Office (MCSO) Deputy Curt Bull could and should be more forthcoming about the events of June 28, 2017 at the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC). That night my left humerus bone was snapped in two by Deputy Timothy Barker while other deputies including Phillip Hubert were present. Bull did not come into the picture until I was taken to the booking area to be placed in an ambulance for transport to a local emergency room. Bull accompanied me as the escort deputy for my hospital visit. Bull has never as far as I know given any sort of official statement to anyone regarding that night. If he did give a statement I hope that he would provide an honest account of everything he had seen and heard. For instance, I witnessed him talking to Phillip Hubert about what happened to me. I recall Hubert describing to him how I had reached into a bag of chips, grabbed a hand full, and sort of flicked it at Deputy Barker with a forward flipping of the wrist motion. I also seem to recall hearing a deputy that may or may not have been Hubert saying that Barker had fallen on me and that was why my arm was broken. That is not true, Barker twisted it intentionally until and after the humerus bone broke. Had Bull came forward with the truth it would have been material to my defense in the subsequent criminal case brought by Barker, Hubert, and other deputies. It would have been material because Bull had heard statements by parties in the case about what happened and what Bull was told contradicted the incident reports later written by Hubert, Barker, Wendy Muth, Matthew Ingram, and others. Those reports accused me of grinding spicy chips into a powder, trying to throw the powder into their eyes knowing that the seasoning would cause painful burning, and that I resisted cuffing on the Fifth Floor. The truth is I threw a hand full of chips, submitted to cuffing on the Fifth Floor, and my arm was not broken while being cuffed on the Fifth Floor. It was broken on the fourth floor. Had Bull come forward and told the truth it would have added more inconsistent statements made by the deputies involved. Why wouldn't someone in Bull's position come forward? Because there is a code/custom of silence within the MCSO. That code requires deputies to support each other first and foremost if they want their fellow deputies to support them. Deputies that have blown the whistle in the past have been retaliated against and at times forced out of a job. Those are significant pressures. What would he have to gain by coming forward? Not much, he would risk a lot and in return the best he could hope for would be a future just as good as the one he could secure for himself by keeping his mouth shut. Some might say that the integrity of the MCSO and the safety of those in their custody are at stake, so he would have everything to gain by being the one to expose these problems and hopefully take the first step towards fixing them. The problem with that is one guy in Bull's position is not likely to change anything, so the best thing for him to do is stay silent. If he came forward it would make the MCSO look bad, make him hated by his colleagues, and what little change it might lead to would not change much. Honesty, integrity, and the truth are insignificant when compared to livelihood. Bull is not a bad deputy as far as I know. My experiences with him as an inmate at MCDC have all been positive. He has a good rapport with inmates and staff a like. He treats inmates with respect, talks to them like they are real people, and I have never known him to use excessive for or harass inmates. He just does his job. If the other deputies were more like Bull MCDC would be a better place. So, if he is a good deputy then why post him on this website? He is an example of the banality of evil in action at MCDC. The banality of evil being the normalization of human wickedness in a society thus causing people to perpetrate or take part in evil activity without evil intentions. Bull, like Adolf Eichmann, is just a cog in a wheel. He does what he thinks he is supposed to do. People in those positions often don't realize the wrongs their actions enable because almost everything looks normal to them. The so called "Good German" was the same way. A "Good German" that volunteered for the military because his country was at war and that is what was expected of men of fighting age. Just like the "Good German" that was ordered to put people on trains and followed orders because following orders was normal for people in the military to do. Such people are not doing what they do for the purpose of hurting anyone but at the same time are part of evils that would not be possible without all of the people in their positions doing what they think they should do.#curtbull #multnomahcountyjail #philliphubert #bruciekibbutz

Bruce Bledsoe's Example of the Erika Murray Problem

Shortly before his retirement, former deputy Bruce Bledsoe provided a good example of the Erika Murray problem at the Multnomah County Detention Center. This example shows how she investigates incident reports. In this case deputy James Harrington had used excessive force against an inmate and listed Bledsoe as a witness. Hearing Officer Murray then sent an email to deputy Bledsoe and another deputy involved (Gretchen Rosa). Bledsoe then responded to Murray's email two days later with a response consistent with Harrington's lies. The problem illustrated by this beyond Bledsoe's dishonesty and the unwritten code among deputies to always support each other, is that Erika Murray gives deputies like Bledsoe way too much time to think about their answers to her questions. Sending out an email and letting the recipients take their sweet time in getting back to her just gives them time to get their stories straight. Then Murray can say that she questioned deputies and got consistent answers. As anyone in law enforcement should know, it is not a good idea to give people you want to interview a chance to talk about what they want their story to be if you want truthful answers. If Erika Murray really wanted to know the truth she would at least ambush the witnesses and ask them questions in person without giving them time to think about their answers.#brucebledsoe #erikamurray #jamesharrington #multnomahcountyjail

He not only interrupted the conversation, but despite being warned that further disruption would result in him being listed on this website he decided to give me an incident report for being nice enough to issue a fair warning.

Elias Fernley's Effort to Bury the Truth About Timothy McVeigh

Elias Fernley admitted that he tried to cover up the truth about Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh at the Multnomah County Detention Center in Portland, Oregon on July 22, 2017. The proof can be found government documents where he wrote, "On first check, I noted 4F13 Sullivan had a piece of paper in his window that read 'McVeigh should have parked here' I asked him to remove it which he did with a chuckle." The fact that Timothy McVeigh should have parked at the corner of SW Third and Main in downtown Portland instead of outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 is a no brainer for anyone that compares both locations. The Murrah Building was an inferior target because although it contained offices for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), and Secret Service, it also contained a day care center and military recruiting offices. Now the DEA, ATF, and Secret Service were all fair game without which America would be a better place. The military recruiters though were probably just some young patriotic kids not far removed from high school that were trying to get 18 year old's to sign up to protect the county from foreign threats. No matter how better off America would be without the current government a military would always be needed. Then of course the day care center should have been enough for anyone to at least look for a building equally rich in deserving targets without a day care center. Obviously little kids have not lived long enough to do anything really wrong in their lives, so that right there should have had him at least looking for a substitute. The corner of SW Third and Main in downtown Portland is the biggest center of oppression in the state of Oregon because Portland is the largest city in the state, and several hard targets are located there. On one side of Main Street is the Multnomah County Justice Center located at 1120 SW Third Avenue and on the other side of Main Street is the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse located at 1000 SW Third Avenue. Both targets would have probably been completely destroyed by McVeigh's bomb since they are high rise buildings is a small area as opposed to a large spread out office building like the Murrah. The upper levels of the Justice Center contains the headquarters of the Portland Police Bureau , the middle and lower levels contain MCDC which is staffed by a large number of Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) deputies, and on the first level are four courtrooms used by the Multnomah County Circuit Court for arraignments. The Hatfield Courthouse is home of the Portland Division of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon which has several federal judges, and the building also serves as the headquarters for the United States Marshals (USM) in Oregon. Across the park block sits the Multnomah County Courthouse at 1021 SW 4th Avenue which houses the bulk of the Multnomah County Circuit Court. McVeigh's bomb was not powerful enough to wipe out the county courthouse from across the park, but it still would have damaged it by shattering windows and possibly inflicting casualties with its shock wave and shrapnel. That could have had a long term positive impact on the integrity of the Circuit Court because if by chance shattered glass were to blind the judges, they would no longer be able to lie convincingly when they say that they have looked at all the evidence. This author is not aware of any day care centers within the blast radius of McVeigh's device at the corner of SW Third and Main in Portland, Oregon, but a large number of innocent adults would have been killed because MCDC is home to hundreds of inmates. Fortunately, a large number of those inmates are sex offenders and snitches in protective custody, so no real loss there. The rest of the inmates probably would have understood what McVeigh was doing and although they would have preferred not to get blown up would not have hated McVeigh for it. Conclusion The corner of SW Third and Main in downtown Portland would have been a better parking spot for Timothy McVeigh on April 19, 1995. Deputy Fernley's censorship of the inmate was a pathetic attempt to cover up the truth about Oklahoma City Bombing at MCDC. Even if the inmate were wrong the inmate would still have had a right to his opinion, so Fernley was wrong to censor him.#multnomahcountyjail #eliasfernley #timothymcveigh #censorship

Systematic Rescheduling Loops by Multnomah County Jail Medical Staff

The medical staff at the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) in Portland, Oregon have a habit of systematically rescheduling inmate medical appointments so many times that the inmate is luck to be seen. I found this out while locked up there and frequently being denied medical care on the grounds that the visit was rescheduled. This rescheduling happened for all sorts of appointments no matter how serious the issue. For instance I waited five weeks for a broken arm follow up at the hospital that should have been done no later than one week after the arm was broken. In other cases I had appointments for things like chronic pain that resulted in endless cancellations followed by new appointments that would later be cancelled. This practice seems to effect all inmates. I believe that the county does this to lower medical expenses because most inmate will be released or transferred before they get to see the doctor. This leaves medical available to long term inmates that eventually get to see the doctor.#multnomahcountyjail #multnomahcountyhealthdepartment

Supervisory Senior Resident Agent (SSRA) Kevin Wayne Damuth

Supervisory Senior Resident Agent (SSRA) Kevin Wayne Damuth approved investigating me sometime after December of 2017 based entirely on allegations fabricated by an inmate that has been arrested over 50 times. Now to SSRA Damuth's credit, the inmate (Scott Joseph Franklin) had made some fairly serious allegations. He alleged that I had offered him over $200,000 a head to kill several people including United States District Judge Marco Hernandez. The problem with this is that I was also an inmate, had not worked in over five years, and was being represented by court appointed counsel. I was obviously not someone capable of spending $200,000 on anything because I would have had to hire my own lawyer if that were the case. Still, the FBI Office in Salem, Oregon has a legal obligation to investigate all death threats against federal judges originating from their jurisdiction, so what did Damuth do wrong by approving this? The investigation went way too far. Damuth had two field agents assigned to it (Ryan Hall and John Mandrafina). Those agents did not stop at simply interviewing Franklin, looking into his history to see if he was credible, and looking into me to see if I had the resources to pay half up front ($100,000). Just doing those things would have been enough for a lay person let alone two trained FBI agents to figure out that an inmate with prior convictions for making false statements to law enforcement is not someone the police can rely on for facts, and that someone not financially capable of paying half now could not have possibly made a serious attempt to hire a hitman at that rate. Looking into our backgrounds should have ended that investigation, but it did not. Agents Mandrafina and Hall went to FCI Sheridan, met with Franklin, put a wire on him, and sent him into my cell to get information from me. All he got was some general dislike for Judge Hernandez and other involved in my case, but nothing indicating a desire to kill anyone. Franklin even told them before wearing the wire that he did not think I would ever talk about "it" again. Franklin was of course referring to "it" as the murder for hire plot he was alleging. In the end, all the bogus story gave the government was a way to get me denied pre-trial release just because such allegations by themselves are enough to do that in federal court in this district. Assistant United States Attorney Gregory Ralph Nyhus did not need to prove that the threats were credible or even made. That is because when pre-trial release has already been denied the burden is on the defense to show that the defendant poses no risk, so simply showing up to court saying that the only thing that has changed since release was denied are these new allegations is enough. Assigning two agents and wiring Franklin was completely unnecessary. What kind of manager allocates two agents to what is obviously a bogus report? Someone whose priorities are wrong obviously. I can't help wonder how many child molesters were not being investigated while SSRA Damuth had two agents assigned to investigating me.#fbi #kevindamuth #fcisheridan #ryanhall #johnmandrafina

SIS Technician Michael Johnson Censors Legal Media Mail

Special Investigative Services (SIS) Technician Michael Johnson has a history of scanning legal/media mail at FCI Sheridan and giving those scans to the FBI. These actions clearly violate the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Program Statement on Correspondence (PS 5265.14). PS 5264.14 classifies correspondence addressed to reporters at newspapers as "Special Mail" and prohibits staff from inspecting that mail. Section 540.2 states, "Definitions. (a) General correspondence means incoming or outgoing correspondence other than special mail...(b) Representatives of the news media means persons whose principal employment is to gather or report news for: (1) A newspaper which qualifies as a general circulation newspaper in the community in which it is published...(c) Special mail means correspondence sent to the following...representatives of the news media." Under Section 540.2 Maxine Bernstein clearly qualifies as a representative of the news media because she is a crime reporter for The Oregonian newspaper and its website OregonLive.com. The Oregonian has been Oregon's largest general circulation newspaper for decades and is what people are talking about when they say "The Paper" in Portland, Oregon. Section 540.18 states, "Special Mail...(c) (1) Except as provided for in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, outgoing special mail may be sealed by the inmate and is not subject to inspection...(2) Special mail shall be screened in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this section when the special mail is being sent by an inmate who has been placed on restricted special mail status...(d) Except for special mail processed in accordance with paragraph (c)(2) of this section, staff shall stamp the following statement directly on the back side of the inmates outgoing special mail: 'The enclosed letter was processed through special mailing procedures for forwarding to you. The letter has neither been opened nor inspected. If the writer raises a question or problem over which this facility has jurisdiction, you may wish to return the material for further information or clarification. If the writer encloses correspondence for forwarding to another addressee, please return the enclosure to the above address.'" I have never been on restricted special mail status as far as I know, so SIS Tech. Johnson never had the right to interfere with outgoing mail sent to The Oregonian. Even if I had been on restricted status his inspection would have to have been limited to looking for contraband in my presence. Scanning Special Mail is not permitted. Section 540.20 further states, "Inmate correspondence with representatives of the news media. (a) An inmate may write through special mail to representatives of the news media specified by name or title (see 540.2(b)). Properly identified and labeled correspondence from an inmate who is not on restricted mail status to qualifying news media representatives is sealed and forwarded without inspection, directly and promptly. Properly identified and labeled correspondence from an inmate on restricted special mail status is also sealed and forwarded promptly, but may be subject to inspection per procedures in Section 10. If there is doubt whether a representative qualifies, contact the Public Information Officer in the Central Office." This part of PS 5265.14 is important because it permits inmates to send unsealed correspondence to the news media without permitting staff to read it because such mail if addressed to the news media is supposed to be "sealed and forwarded without inspection." Under 540.20 it is not a defense for Mr. Johnson to claim that the inmate failed to seal the correspondence before mailing it. This is especially important for inmates in the special housing unit (SHU) because the SHU staff are reluctant to help inmates send out sealed mail even though all they have to do is inspect it, sign it, and place it in the legal mail. They just ignore the inmate's request and eventually the inmate is forced to choose between sending the mail open and vulnerable to inspection or not send it at all. SIS Technician Johnson not only inspected my "Special Mail" outside of my presence in violation of BOP regulations, he also copied it, and sent the copy to the FBI. The latter would make the letter vulnerable to an unlawful search challenge if the government ever tried to use it as evidence in court, but even if they do not the potential chilling effect is obvious when the FBI can use Special Mail as part of their investigations.#michaeljohnson #sis #fcisheridan #censorship #legalmail #spying

Armando Olmos Might Have More Integrity Than His Co-Conspirators

Senior Officer Armando Olmos might have a little more integrity than his co-conspirators but he also might be the one that landed the blow to an inmate that left him scarred for life. These conclusions are based on a review of Olmos' own statements and surveillance footage. In a sworn affidavit Olmos stated that during a use of force incident on July 29, 2015, "I did hear a staff member saying something about him coming out of restraints but I don't remember who it was." The inmate does remember who it was, it was Senior Officer Specialist (S.O.S.) Tyler Oeltjenbruns. Oeltjenbruns also repeated the same false statement in a following memorandum and an affidavit. Other than stopping short of saying that the inmate actually slipped his cuffs, Olmos is just as dirty as the rest of them. What really happened was that once on the ground and cooperative the inmate was beaten so hard that a cut opened on his scalp. The cut that bled profusely. A few minutes later the inmate was moved to an observation cell where he was punched in the face by Lt. Scott Williams. Williams then placed the inmate in bone tight restraints and left him there for over an hour until the next shift forced him to walk to medical in bone tight shackles. Some of this incident was captured on surveillance footage. That tape cannot be uploaded at this time because of a protective order in place as part of a lawsuit filed by the former inmate against the federal government and the officers involved. According to the BOP any images or video that shows the inside of a correctional facility is a security risk. Unfortunately, most of the beating took place in a blind spot but the footage does show a man in restraints being taken to the ground unharmed followed by a pig pile during which S.O.S. Saul Luna can be seen making punching motions, Olmos can be seen on top making a punching motion, and the inmate emerges with blood pouring from his scalp. The inmate's subsequent medical exam indicated injuries to the head and back far more consistent with a beat down than a pig pile. The footage also casts doubt on whether or not it was Luna that landed the blow that caused the cut because Olmos is in the position that the inmate thought Luna was in. The inmate couldn't really tell which officer was exactly where while he was on the ground being punched and begging them to stop. The motion made by Olmos was captured by the camera from a top-right angle where Olmos's back could be seen at the top of the pig pile where other officers were to his sides but not beneath him. At one point his shoulder blade moved back and forth quickly. This motion is consistent with a quick blow to the head of the inmate whose head was turned slightly to the left at the time. #armandoolmos #uspvictorville #tyleroeltjenbruns #sossaulluna

Patricia "Snooki" Galvan is Not Cut Out for Guard Duty

Patricia "Snooki" Galvan is one of those people that you can tell from day one is not cut out for guard duty at a correctional facility. I witnessed this at the Columbia County Jail in 2018. This little young lady had absolutely no idea what she was doing. I was there when she transitioned from trainee to deputy and it was obvious that somebody figured out that passing public safety school would be easy, so becoming qualified on paper would be a good job opportunity for her. The problem with that is that being qualified on paper and fit to guard violent inmates in the real word are two different things. Almost anybody can study the curriculum, pass some multiple choice tests, and follow directions in the field until someone says that they have the knowledge to be a correctional officer. Galvan is one of those people. At 23 she strikes me as a college dropout that realized she could at least find a decent paying job in corrections. At under five feet tall however that job is just not a good fit for her because I think it is only a matter of time until she is overpowered by an inmate and finds herself on the other end of a taser. I remember when I jacked the food slot in B-Special because some of my commissary items had either been taken or not delivered, I don't recall which. She gave me warnings to put my arm back in as if she were in a position to force it back it. It was comical to see her bend down ever so slightly to reach the food port that is about thigh high on normal people. Then she grabbed my arm to force it back into the cell and I let her because I was nice and did not want to run the risk of pulling her in all the way. Then I'd probably get an assault charge and she would have been humiliated as the only deputy to have been pulled through a food slot. Despite my kindness I still ended up on styrofoam trays for allegedly abusing the normal ones even though I never abused regular trays. The explanation for the syrofoam was BS but they probably figured I was smart enough to use the normal trays to jam the food slot open, so they came up with an excuse to deny me regular trays even though I had not abused them yet. I tried to get Galvan to give me a normal one by throwing the styrofoam tray on the floor but she refused. I was kept on styrofoam trays until the soaking of Sophie Frazier. Funny thing about those styrofoam trays is that they pile up in the cell and the guards go in there to get them when the inmate is not in the cell. Knowing this I filled mine full of water and sure enough a guard went in, tried to pick them up normally, and got soaked. That guard was Sophie Frazier who then falsely accused me of throwing urine on her according to Deputy U.S. Marshal Marc Nordquist. Had Galvan not incompetently put me on styrofoam Frazier would have saved herself a change of clothes and a load of wash.#columbiacountyjail #patriciagalvan #sophiefrazier

Mail Censorship at the Columbia County Jail from Cards to Jump

The Columbia County Jail in St. Helens, Oregon has a long and disgraceful history of censoring inmate mail. At one point they even had a policy that only allowed inmates to receive postcards other than legal mail. That meant that unless the mail came from your lawyer that all they would deliver was postcards. That meant no letters from family, no pictures of loved ones, no newspapers, and no magazines. That changed for the most part in 2013 when Columbia County lost a legal challenge brought by Prison Legal News against the postcard only policy. PLN is a prison newspaper that sued to protect their bottom line, get publicity, and of course protect the constitutional rights of inmates. Following a trial before United States District Judge Michael Simon, the CCJ postcard only police was ruled to violate the First and Fourteenth Amendment, so the CCSO was forced to get rid of it. The fact that the case even went to trial just proves how belligerent Columbia County is when it comes to jail policies. They would rather lose in court than admit to being wrong. Fast forward to 2018 and mail censorship remains alive at CCJ. I found this out when I received a notice of rejected incoming mail on the grounds that it contained a bill me later card. The jail policy against bill me later cards was created to stop inmates from sending out subscription requests marked bill me later with no intent of ever paying the bill. Unfortunately this policy has been twisted to deny inmates publications that contain them when the jail disapproves of the publication in general. I received a notice, that I believe came from Patricia Galvan but I can't remember for sure, appealed it only to have that denied by Deputy Justen Jump, and then appealed it again only to have it denied by Tim Trask.

Stand for David Bowen! He Won't Tolerate Civil Demonstrations

David Bowen's petty write up of an inmate for kneeling in protest during stand up count was so stupid it did not survive review by the lieutenant. The purpose of stand up counts in BOP facilities is to make sure that the inmate is alive in his cell. Some places inmates actually stand and other places the guards just want to see you move so that they know you are not dead. At FCI Sheridan David Bowen seemed to be the only CO that tripped on inmates if they did not stand during standing count in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) during count. I would be sitting there at my desk working on my case only to be rudely interrupted by Bowen and his stupid request to stand up for him. Eventually I had enough and took knee just like Colin Kaepernick during the national anthem. Then when he told me to stand up again I stuck my fist in the air. Some time later Lt. Shawn Brewton came to my window to serve me with an incident report written by Bowen. He thought it was so stupid that he tore it up. At least somebody at Sheridan knows how not to be a jerk. He asked me to stand from then on but at least he did not punish me for free speech. That is why Brewton is the guy in the image without a devil on his shirt. He is a good example of how correctional officers should act when the see bull shit from another officer.#davidbowen #shawnbrewton #fcisheridan #freespeech #shu

S.O.S. Tyler Oeltjenbruns Took Part in Inmate Beating Cover Up

Senior Officer Specialist Tyler Oeltjenbruns took part in the beating and torture of an inmate at the United States Penitentiary (USP) in Victorville California, in July of 2015. Oeltjenbruns' false statements after the incident helped the other officers involved avoid punishment when the incident was investigated by Special Investigative Agent (SIA) Charles Alvarez. The incident began with the theft of writing utensils by several staff members including Lt. Scott Williams, S.O.S. Saul Luna, Armondo Olmos, and Oeltjenbruns. Luna was then elbowed by an inmate for refusing to return the writing utensils. The inmate was then taken to the ground and beaten until a cut opened up on his scalp above the forehead causing profuse bleeding and a permanent scar. The inmate was then taken to the observation room where several officers including Oeltjenbruns held him down, twisted his ankle, and placed bone tight restraints on his limbs. The restraints were so tight that the inmate could barely stand. At one point he was punched in the face by Lt. Williams for not standing due to the pain of the bone tight shackles. Eventually the inmate was forced to walk to medical where PAC Brigitte Wolverton asked guards to loosen the restraints. Oeltjenbruns made false claims in writing about the incident, so his statements are being uploaded as a pdf with this report. His lies included falsely accusing the inmate of slipping his restraints during the initial beating, denying that a beating took place at all, and denying that Lt. Williams punched the inmate. Video footage of the incident makes it obvious that the inmate was in restraints the entire time, other officers can be seen making punching motions towards the inmate, and that the inmate's foot was being held unnaturally high while Oeltjenbruns was on top of him in the observation room. After leaving the inmate in the observation room in bone tight restraints for over an hour the next shift recorded the inmate's medical exam on a handheld camera. Those guards can be heard refusing to loosen the restraints before forcing him to walk to medical. The inmate was obviously in excruciating pain the entire time. While in medical PAC Wolverton asked guards to loosen the restraints. Wolverton said in her affidavit, "I do remember the Lieutenant loosening up the restraints because the inmate was complying that they were on too tight." On tape Wolverton can be seen directing the attention of the guards to the inmate's limbs and saying, "can you loosen this? This can't be moved." On the tape the inmate's hands and feet appear to have a darker skin tone than his arms and legs. That is typical when people suffer a loss of circulation. It can also be observed that the restraints were so tight that, like Wolverton said, they could not be moved at all. Applying restraints like that is an all too common punitive measure taken by guards. When confronted they will often say that they did not know how tight they were and deny doing it on purpose. Doing it on purpose constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the 8th Amendment. Oeltjenbruns' conduct is typical example of the culture that exists within the BOP where customs among staff dictate that they stick together and look out for their fellow officers first before considering the rules or the law. In a more honorable organization Oeltjenbruns could have felt comfortable saying the truth. He should have felt comfortable saying that Luna, Olmos, and Williams punched the inmate, that Williams applied bone tight restraints, and that the inmate never slipped his cuffs. Had he done so he would have been ostracized by his fellow officers and he cared more about upholding the COs code than upholding the Constitution, obeying the law, and following the rules. It is people like Oeltjenbruns that empower people like Williams, Luna, and Olmos with the ability to create their own system of punishment when they decide that the rules of the facility are not good enough to maintain discipline. As a result, inmates are deterred by the fear of pain being used as punishment. Unfortunately, the video is not available online at this time. That is because of a protective order in place as part of lawsuits filed by the inmate against Oeltjenbruns, the other guards, and the United States. During the discovery process the U.S. Attorney's Office asked for the protective order saying that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) considers any images or video footage that shows the inside of a federal prison to be a security risk. The order will be challenged on a later date because it is doubtful that the government can prove the existence of a substantial security risk that outweighs the public interest of exposing this kind of conduct by government employees. The footage is not likely to help anyone escape, which is the cited reason for such images/footage being considered security risks, so once the likelihood of escape is ruled out the argument against the order should be strong.#tyleroeltjenbruns #uspvictorville #brigittewolverton #fciwaseca

Mosese Lomu on Trial for Fraud and Witness Tampering

Former Police Watch Commander Mosese Lomu is on trial for fraud and witness tampering following allegations that he tried to cover up the escape of an inmate. In the process he is accused of directing another officer to tamper with the Territorial Correctional Facility (TCF) log book to make it look like he and his staff were not watching movies when the inmate escaped, shot a man and went back to the prison. The government alleges that Lomu found out about the escape after the police called him and let him know that the wife of the victim had recognized the escaped inmate at the crime scene. Lomu is then accused of doing all he could to make it look like the inmate never escaped before police arrived at the prison. Had Lomu been successful his incompetence would not have been exposed, he would still have a job and the shooter would have a rock solid alibi.#moseselomu #territorialcorrectionalfacility #fraud

Stanley Patris and Carlo Evangelista Caught On Tape Beating Motorist

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Department of Public Safety Officers Stanley Patris and Carlo Evangelista were caught on tape beating a motorist after his car had flipped over on the side of the road. Officers Patris and Evangelista obviously had a lot of adrenaline pumping from the high speed chase that ended with the car flipped over. That does not justify beating the suspect while on the ground. The suspect sued the CNMI, CNMI Commissioner Robert A. Guerrero, and the two officers that beat him. The government settled the case in October of 2019 and the exact terms of the settlement are not clear. Despite the settlement the CNMI maintains that Officers Patris and Evangelista were acting within the scope of their employment while beating the motorist on the ground with a baton.

Jamal Crooke Caught on Tape Choking Inmate in Chow Hall

Who's the real crook in this video? Officer Jamal Crooke of the Virgin Islands Bureau of Corrections (BOC) can be seen attacking an inmate that did nothing other than stand up and complain about a cockroach in his meal. It has been reported that the inmate was nearly choked to the point of losing consciousness. Officer Crooke never faced any known criminal investigation or disciplinary action even though he was cited internally with misconduct and the BOC's own investigation concluded that the inmate posed no threat to Crooke. The video of the incident did not become public until the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) forced the BOC to turn over the tape as part of an ongoing lawsuit that the ACLU had already filed against the BOC over conditions at that jail. The jail in question is part of the Alexander A. Farrelly Justice Complex in St. Thomas also known as the Criminal Justice Complex on St. Thomas. Crooke's supervisor, Myron Fredericks, also received a misconduct citation for not reviewing the incident within 48 hours.#jamalcrooke #jailfood #assault #aclu #farrellyjusticecomplex

USP Hazelton Staff Put Notorious Snitch Whitey Bulger in General Pop.

The news media has never figured out how James "Whitey" Bulger got killed at United States Penitentiary (USP) Hazelton in 2018. The reason he was killed was simple. He was a notorious rat that was placed in general population at an active* USP. That is a death sentence for any notorious rat like Whitey Bulger unless the staff at the prison removes the inmate from general population before they are killed. That is because of prison politics that inmates in general population live by. If someone is known to be a rat in general population then that person is removed by force. That force includes at least a beat down and at most a killing. In the case of a killing the person that carries it out is usually serving a life sentence already. Someone like Bulger would be in the kill category because he was a mobster that worked for the FBI and put away other mobsters.. That jacket at any active USP results in the following: If nobody jumps him on sight then his people have a meeting to decide who will get him, what they will do, and how they will do it. An inmate's people are people from their own gang or if no one from that gang is available, someone of his own race from his part of the country. Then someone or some people will volunteer or be told to "put in work" on that individual. That is why Whitey Bulger was killed in his cell by a lifer from Boston. It is that simple. What isn't so simple is who really signed Bulger's death warrant? Was it someone at the Designation and Sentence Computation Center (DSCC) in Grand Prairie, Texas that decided to transfer him to USP Hazelton? Was it someone working at USP Hazelton that decided to place Bulger in general population even though he was a notorious rat? The answer is everyone in Grand Prairie that signed off on transferring a notorious rat from the protective custody yard at USP Coleman II and everyone working at USP Hazelton that knew who he was and never stepped in to place him in protective custody. Those people along with anyone that may or may not have persuaded any of them not to protect him all co-signed his death warrant. The inmates that killed him were just the needle in his arm or in this case the lock in a sock on his head. The 45 minute video below is really interesting, but even this guy gets things wrong. He talks about how TMZ claimed Bulger was killed in his cell and not in general population. The incident clearly took place in Bulger's general population cell. That is because general population includes cells in general population housing units. A lot of killings that take place in general population take place in cells because cameras cannot see inside of the cells. In all USPs the doors crack open at 6 AM at which point kitchen workers go to make breakfast and the other inmates do whatever until mainline is called and they go eat. Obviously someone doing a life sentence volunteered or was told to put in work on Bulger the night before and was waiting for the doors to crack before killing him. It is not surprising that inmates were free to come and go from the cell until a guard found him while doing rounds. Inmates come and go from cells all the time so four inmates entering his cell would not have been seen as suspicious. This killing is similar to the killing of Aryan Brotherhood (AB) leader David Snow at USP Victorville in 2013. In that case members of the AB allegedly learned that Snow had been giving information to the staff. A pair of AB members later allegedly entered Snow's cell, killed him, and cut off his head with a sharp instrument rumored to have been made from a tin can lid. Like Bulger, Snow's body was not found until staff doing routine rounds inspected his cell. Then Special Investigative Services (SIS) looked at the surveillance footage, rounded up all inmates seen entering Snow's cell before his body was found, and placed them in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) pending investigation. As of 2016 those inmates were still being kept in SHU. *an "active" USP is any USP that is not designated for protective custody inmates. They are general population prisons with a large number of active gang members hence the name "active."#whiteybulger #usphazelton #murder #uspcolemanii #uspvictorville

Edwin Graybeal III Arrested for Assault and Official Oppression

Washington County Lt. Edwin Graybeal III is facing criminal charges of assault, oppression, and official misconduct for slapping a handcuffed prisoner. His father, Washington County Sheriff Edwin Graybeal II, suspended him without pay pending the outcome of the charges against him. The event was caught on a video that was leaked to the press before he was indicted by a grand jury. The Washington County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) was not going to pursue the matter at all until the video was anonymously leaked to News Channel 11. Then the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) launched its own investigation that led to the indictment. The video shows an inmate mouthing off to Graybeal until he lost it and slapped the inmate. Now that the video is public the WCSO is in damage control mode. Chief Deputy Leighta Leitinen went on camera admitting that Graybeal violated the WCSO's use of force policy because "you can't use force for someone calling you bad names." It appears that the WCSO will hold its people accountable if undeniable proof of misconduct is obtained AND that evidence is shared with the media.#edwingraybeal #assault #washingtoncountydetentioncenter #tbi

Derek McIntosh Convicted in Cat Slaying for Shooting Stray Cat

North Sioux City Police Officer Derek McIntosh received a 30 day jail sentence after being convicted of killing an animal. McIntosh shot a stray cat and then lied about it. McIntosh got caught after Officer Stephanie Ryan responded to a report of a cat in a trap at a cemetery and told Captain Dustin Sharkey afterwards that she had just saved the cat's life. When Sharkey asked Ryan what she meant by that she told him that she had heard rumors about McIntosh shooting stray cats in that cemetery. We don't know why Ryan did not report the cat rumors sooner. If she had she could have really saved the cat that McIntosh was convicted of killing. When police went to the cemetery they found at least two dead cats along with a pair of gloves identical to the ones issued to NSCPD officers. He also shot a cat that was not a stray. That cat turned out to be a pet owned by a man and a woman. The man confronted McIntosh who told him that the department sometimes releases cats in the cemetery. When called into a meeting with Mayor Randy Fredrickson and a city administrator named Ted Cherry, McIntosh admitted shooting cats in the past but denied shooting any in the cemetery. Then they told him he would be placed on leave and he admitted to shooting the cat. Animal cruelty is a widely known sign of more serious mental health issues like anti-social personality disorder. Many serial killers including Jeffrey Dahmer started off killing animals.#derekmcintosh #animalabuse #stephanieryan #liars

Bristow Officer Bradley Don Goodin in Jail for Child Molestation

Bristow Police Officer Bradley Don Goodin is in the Creek County Jail on multiple charges of lewd molestation and child sexual abuse. His victims include two girls ages nine and eleven. His arrest came after interviewing the two girls, who both know Goodin, and talking to a witness that noticed him inappropriately touching one of the girls in a bathroom. That girl says he told her she was beautiful, hugged her, and put his hand down her pants. The witness says Goodin threatened him. The other girl says he touched her inappropriately at least five times but Goodin says he just hugged her. Goodin is most likely by himself in protective custody and will stay that way unless he posts bond. In jail/prison he will likely have to serve his time in protective "walk alone" status because one of the worst things you can be in jail/prison is an ex-cop or a child molester.

Ex-Chief Matthew Anderson Under FBI Investigation for Many Crimes

Former Rolla, North Dakota Police Chief Matthew Anderson was recently fired after just four months on the job after the city found out that he is under FBI investigation for a number of crimes committed while in uniform. Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) has also stripped him of his license. The allegations against Anderson include sexually assaulting a 16 year old girl by ordering staff to put a catheter in her for a urine test, wrecking two police cars by crashing into fixed objects, tasering a pregnant woman multiple times, and falsifying a search warrant. The rape of the 16 year old girl took place after the girl had given Anderson a false name. He then gave staff false information to convince them that it was perfectly legal to force a catheter into a suspect and assisted other staff members in holding her down while she was raped with the catheter. All she did was give him a false name and that pissed him off so much that he raped her with a medical instrument. Nowhere in America are forced catheterizations legal without a search warrant. Anderson never reported wrecking the police cars by crashing into fixed objects. It is not known if he was drunk or speeding. He tasered a pregnant woman multiple times just because he claims that she refused to leave an apartment. It is not clear what safety risk if any may be presented by an unarmed uncooperative pregnant woman. The false search warrant was just one of many allegations of fraud against Anderson. In another case he failed to turn in an officer's paperwork and as a result the officer patrolled the streets without even being an officer at all.#matthewanderson #fbi #rape #sexoffenders #assault

North Carolina Women's Prison Not Good Enough for Dogs

"New Leash on Life" was a program in North Carolina prisons that let inmates train dogs from local animal shelters until it was disbanded about three years ago. Recently it has come to light that the dogs were removed from the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women (NCCIW) during summer months because conditions at the prison were unsuitable for dogs. That is because lack of air conditioning made the prison so hot that animal rescue group running the program were afraid the dogs might overheat and die. The animal rescue group expressed disgust for how the women still had to live in conditions that for dogs were analogous to being locked in a car on a hot day.#ncciw #dogs #airconditioning

The charges were eventually dropped but not before causing Naanee unnecessary public embarrassment, money, and possible a lesser contract than he would have otherwise received as a free agent. He was only in town to meet with his agent, went out, got drunk, and stumbled into a crime scene at a night club where a shooting took place earlier. When Naanee asked the officers why they were being rude they pepper sprayed him, took him to the ground, and struck him twice.

"Brotherhood of the Strong" Prison Guard Gang Started in Hawaii

A series of beating deaths in the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) in Portland, Oregon during the early 2000s exposed the existence of a prison guard gang called the "Brotherhood of the Strong." The BOS was created by correctional officers in Hawaii before expanding to prisons and jails on the mainland. The even had matching tattoos that said "Brotherhood of the Strong." Eventually known members of the group were fired in Multnomah County. One BOS members, Wallace Montoya, sued the sheriff saying that discrimination against guards with the tattoo violated the First Amendment. Montoya lost. To this days inmates from that era recall the horrors associated with the BOS and use it as an example of the culture within the MCSO.

He allegedly pulled her over, asked him to sit in the front seat of his car, told her that he had a warrant for her arrest, and said that he would get rid of the warrant if she performed a sex act on him. This is yet another example of what type of people work as police officers.#thomasoliver #rape #sexoffenders

Alabama AG Steve Marshall Called a Coward by Victim's Family

The father of Emantic Fitzgerald "EJ" Bradford Jr. called Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall a coward for refusing to charge the Hoover Police officer that murdered his son with murder. His exact words were, "That was a homicide... you killed my son. You are a coward. You're a coward too, Steve Marshall." To add insult to injury Marshall and the police department have hidden the identity of the murderer to this day. This cop is clearly a coward hiding behind anonymity to save his own skin and Marshall is clearly a coward that won't stand up to murderous cops that murder black people. The murder took place after the officer responded to a report of a shooting at the Riverchase Galleria and gunned down an innocent black man instead of the shooter. In the officer's defense Bradford was on surveillance tape holding a gun, but he only held it pointing down in a ready position. Like any responsible gun owner in his position he pulled his weapon in self defense. The officer clearly noticed Bradford with a gun and just assumed he must be the shooter.#stevenmarshall #emanticbedford #murder #racism #riverchasegalleria

BART Cop David McCormick Arrested a Man for Eating While Black

BART Police Officer David McCormick arrested a man for eating while black in an area where he says that eating is illegal. In the video you can clearly see that the victim here, Bill Gluckman, is just trying to eat a sandwich at the train station on his way to work. McCormick grabs his backpack, wont let go, tells Gluckman that he is not free to leave because by eating in that spot he is violation some frivolous California statute, tells Gluckman that he is going to jail for resisting arrest, calls for back up, arrests him and takes him to jail. This video has gone viral with people wondering, who is Officer D. McCormick? We believe we have that answer after finding a .pdf from the BART Police Department listing one of their officers as David McCormick. A public record search produced several David McCormick's in the San Francisco Bay Area that are in their 40s. We believe this man to be the one listed as David GT McCormick because David GT McCormick has what an active "guard" license. The record describing the license is as follows: First Name: DAVID Middle Name: G Last Name: MCCORMICK License Number: 1638051 License State: CA License Status: ACTIVE License Type: GUARD Issue Date: 04/24/2009 Expiration Date: 04/30/2011#davidmccormick #bart #billgluckman #racism

Jason Paul Schaefer Snitch Investigation Findings

Rock Creek Bomber Jason Paul Schaefer has been under investigation by CopBlaster.com since August of 2018 following a pair of allegations alleging that he had snitched on an inmate in J2 at the Federal Detention Center in Sheridan, Oregon (FDC Sheridan) sometime between June and August of 2018. The investigation involved a look at the court record in his case. The results are ultimately inconclusive but highly suspicious enough to warrant a posting on this website about the allegations and suspicions pertaining to Mr. Schaefer. The first allegation made to the founder of CopBlaster.com came from a man claiming to be a member of the Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club during transport from the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon to the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) in Portland, Oregon. The man claimed to have been coming from J2, but I can't be sure because the FDC is across the street from the FCI and I came from the FCI SHU. When the talk turned to "Fingers" as Mr. Schaefer is known in the system, the Joker said that Fingers had been beaten up in J2 before snitching on the person that beat him up. The beating was described as a discipline and not an eviction. The difference is that an eviction involves smashing a guy off mainline, which basically means beating a guy up so that the staff takes him out of the unit and does not bring him back. A discipline on the other hand takes place behind closed doors when the guys don't want to kick a guy out of the unit but still want to correct a behavior of some sort. This Joker stated that he liked Fingers until that incident and recommended that he be placed on this website for that reason. It was a sad story to hear because I also liked Fingers, but knowing him I could see him pissing a guy off and getting beat up. It was quite disappointing to hear this allegation because Fingers is smart enough to know that snitching follows people in the system forever, but he lacks impulse control and I could see him flipping out, feeling powerless, and in an effort to gain control running to the unit CO as described because as someone physically incapable of doing anything to fight back the only way he could hurt the guy that disciplined him would have been to tell on him. Some days later I ran into a leader of the Felony Block Kings (FBK) and Oregon United (OU). The FBK is a well known gang of white inmates in Oregon. OU is a group of white gangs including FBK that formed an alliance for the betterment of the white community in Oregon prisons and works together for the betterment of white inmates from Oregon in the federal system. I personally know this FBK/OU leader to be one of the most respected white inmates from Oregon in the feds. When in J2 he usually calls the shots for the whites and he was also at USP Victorville after I was. We were in D Pod at the Columbia County Jail together earlier in 2018 and during our conversations it became obvious to me that he was in good standing with the White Car and Northwest Whites at Victorville USP. The White Car is a group comprised of almost all affiliated and independent white inmates in general population. The criteria for membership is pretty simple, for the most part you just have to be a white man, not a sex offender, not a snitch, not a Muslim, and not be affiliated with a another race's gang. The Northwest Whites are a sub car of the White Car consisting of whites from the Pacific Northwest. Like the White Car its members include both affiliated and independent inmates. Affiliated inmates are active gang members like this source and independents are inmates like me that are not gang members. Members of the White Car and Northwest Whites in Victorville adhere to an honor code that strictly prohibits and has strong sanctions for anyone that falsely accuses someone of being a snitch. Due to that code, the fact that this man was still a J2 shot caller, knew he was going back to Victorville, and is a career criminal that would not want to ruin his credibility in the eyes of other inmates by falsely accusing someone of being a snitch, I give great weight to the statements of this individual. Now, back to our conversation. While talking to him in the holding cells at the federal courthouse and I asked about Schaefer he told me a similar that was strikingly similar to the one that the Joker told me. It sounded like they "heart checked" Fingers and that he failed that check in the worst possible way. He too favored posting Fingers on this site. Fingers was sentenced two days ago and today I checked out the court record. The record has no mention of anything that could be referring to these allegations. I wanted to wait until after his sentencing to write this because I wanted to see if this alleged incident came up at sentencing. I had told his attorney about it thinking it might be relevant to sentencing because if true it would mean that his time will be far worse than it otherwise would be. If they don't send him to a protective custody (PC) yard, nut house, or ADX, he will end up in special housing units (SHUs) under 23 hour lockdown for his own safety. Having this jacket makes him a vulnerable person and that can be a sentencing factor. I had planned to attend the sentencing hearing but though it was this coming week instead of last week. Nothing is in the sentencing memorandum suggesting that Fingers should get less time due to vulnerability and because the pre-sentence investigation report is filed under seal, I have no way of knowing if it contains any references to this. I can conclusively say that there is nothing in his publicly available paperwork suggesting that he is a snitch. What the record does include is a threat that Fingers mailed the district court. That threat states: "If I am sent to a United States Penitentiary Facility. I will immediately be given, acquire, or make a knife or weapon and kill an inmate, so that I am removed from such Facility. I will not remain in a United States Penitentiary." -Jason Schaefer. Besides being a direct threat to inmates that looked out for me when I was in prison, this letter begs the question: "Why is Fingers so scared of a USP?" There can only really be two answers. First, he might not be scared at all and this is an effort to get sent to Administrative Maximum (ADX) or a mental health prison like MCFP Springfield. Second, he is afraid of what happens to snitches in active USPs. Given the weight of the other evidence I believe the latter answer to be correct. Snitches at USPs are automatically removed from general population by the inmates. Since he has had a bad jacket for over a year he would most likely be instantly recognized at any USP in the western region. Assuming he lasts long enough on mainline to get a knife the kind of PC move he threatened is not uncommon. PC inmates are well known for attacking good inmates to get off the yard and make the paperwork look like they were taken off for disciplinary and not PC reasons. He will probably PC himself to avoid getting jumped on sight and this threat gives him a chance to blame his classification on something other than his jacket. If Fingers were to hypothetically land on a yard where he had enough time to find a knife before getting smashed off and actually managed to kill an inmate, that would probably be the best thing for him under these circumstances. He is doing 40 years and killing an inmate would let him go to ADX for at least the first 10 years. At ADX he would have better food, commissary, and his own TV in his cell. Some guys have killed just to get that because they know that if they get out it will be decades later and some prefer ADX to general population. Inmate on inmate killings are also rarely prosecuted if the inmate has more than 10 years left. Based on the overall weight of the evidence I personally believe Fingers to be a snitch as described by his accusers.#jasonschaefer #fcisheridan #shu #fdcsheridan #multnomahcountyjail

Ninth Circuit Should Order New Trial for Jason Paul Schaefer

Jason Paul Schaefer's sentencing hearing was classic Marco Hernandez doing what he wanted. He began by dismissing a motion for reconsideration that should have given Schaefer a new trial because a member of the prosecution's team, Lauren Williams Deits, was once a legal assistant for Schaefer's attorney and interviewed Schaefer on behalf of that lawyer. Deits never told her current employer, the United States Attorney's Office, that she had previously worked with Deits. When a lawyer at her former firm notified Schaefer's defense team they moved to dismiss the case. During those proceedings Judge Hernandez went on record as saying that he did not believe Deits when she said that she did not recall interviewing Schaefer just two years earlier, so why did Judge Hernandez deny the motion? All Judge Hernandez has to do to uphold a conviction under these circumstances is say that he does not believe that the defendant suffered prejudice. If there is no prejudice then the question of whether or not Schaefer's right to counsel was violated due to a member of the prosecution's team possessing privileged information becomes legally irrelevant. Leading up to this it is no surprise that Hernandez stated on the record that he did not believe Deits. This is classic Hernandez presenting the appearance of reasonableness and compromise knowing that in the end it won't matter anyway. The conviction and sentence that Hernandez wanted is in place while he gets to defend his actions by pointing to favorable statements or rulings that he did make even though they did not result in any tangible favors for the defendant. The worst Judge Hernandez has to worry about if he is wrong under these circumstances is that the Ninth Circuit or Supreme Court overrules him and orders a new trial. If Hernandez had ordered a new trial his court, the government, and the taxpayers would have suffered enormous expenses since the monetary cost alone of a federal criminal trial is believed to be in the millions. That is a lot to consider for a judge that ultimately believes that even without that evidence the jury would still have convicted him and he personally would have given the same sentence. The problem with that conclusion is that it is hypothetical. In an assault case where intent is an element of the offense a prior incident involving the defendant and law enforcement can be a deciding factor for a juror when it comes to whether they think the allegations are consistent with the defendant's character. Judge Hernandez is not a psychic, so he is in no place to know exactly what a juror thinks or would think if not told something. Questions of facts are for juries to decide and judges are not in a position to speculate as to what a jury would have decided. Judge Hernandez is in a position to say that it did not prejudice sentencing because as mentioned earlier he does what he wants, so changing the evidence would not cause Hernandez to impose a different sentence unless that evidence prejudices the defendant even further, but the question remains for the jury as to whether or not Hernandez should have the authority to sentence the person at all. The Ninth Circuit should overturn this conviction, order a new trial, and direct the district court not to allow evidence from the case in which Deits's former boss represented Schaefer. That is because like the quote in the lobby at the Hatfield Courthouse says, the first responsibility of any society is justice. Justice cannot be done if it is denied for budgetary reasons based on speculation even if that speculation is highly likely to be correct. From what I understand the prosecution used evidence from that prior case that likely came from Deits and that evidence was prejudicial. Prejudicial because even though it did not have anything to do with the current case, it could be used to question Schaefer's credibility, his character, any predisposition that may have existed, and his attitude towards police. I was not at the trial but it is my understanding that the government sought body cam footage from that earlier arrest and that lead probably came from Deits. Schaefer represented himself at trial and according to one witness that was like watching someone set himself on fire, so that was another error by Hernandez because as someone that knows Schaefer, I can tell you that he is not competent to represent himself. He even had a decent lawyer and did that anyway, which supports my point further. Fortunately for Schaefer he did not waive any of his appellate rights, so the procedural bars that usually keeps the Ninth Circuit from calling out Hernandez do not exist here. Still, the Ninth Circuit is a liberal activist court that acts a lot like Hernandez, so they are likely to seek ways to uphold the end result that they wish to see even if they know that they are technically wrong.#ninthcircuit #marcohernandez #jasonschaefer #laurendeits

Mason Dawson as Bobby Hill: Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode Bobby Hill tried to take an inmate to court in a black box, the inmate refused, Bobby backed off, and the inmate never went to court that day. Bobby then wrote up the inmate not just for refusing to go to court and follow orders, but also for disrespecting staff for calling him Bobby Hill. The incident report .pdf is being uploaded with this report. He also recommended that the inmate be placed in close custody for threatening to post personal information about Bobby Hill on this website. That last part is the most egregious misconduct here beyond trying to make the inmate wear a black box device all the way to court. Black box devices are basically locks that go around handcuffs and connect to a belly chain. They should only be used under the most serious of circumstances because they cut off circulation and cause temporary nerve damage. But back to the last part, Bobby Hill recommended close custody for an inmate that never physically threatened or assaulted staff just because he threatened to post him on a website. Close custody is supposed to be reserved for the inmates that are the most dangerous and by dangerous that means physically dangerous. Close custody inmates are transported in black boxes anytime they are moved in the jail, they are kept separate from other inmates, and are dressed differently. A verbal threat that does not involve physical violence does not justify a close custody recommendation.

RateMyCop.com Acquisition Failed Thanks to DropCatch.com Scams?

RateMyCop.com should have been acquired by CopBlaster.com this week. Unfortunately DropCatch.com has so many hurdles in place that anyone looking to bid that is not already a member has no reasonable chance of bidding on any domain name that they wish to bid on. We found this out when noticing that RateMyCop.com was being auctioned off and that there was less than 24 hours left in the auction. This was nothing any reasonable person would have panicked over but we would have panicked had we known that DropCatch requires anyone looking to participate in their auctions to undergo a rigorous verification process that is impossible to complete in time for most people to participate in auctions that they notice for the first time on DropCatch. When CopBlaster.com tried to bid on RateMyCop.com we had to create a NameBright account. That was easy and should have been all we had to do to then sign into DropCatch and place a bid. Unfortunately after signing into DropCatch we could not place a bid because it said that verification was required. We then added a credit card number even though we were going to use an online service to pay for domain. That was not enough. They asked the owner of CopBlaster.com to send them a copy of his photo identification and after he submitted that, the page said that verification could take up to 72 hours. Then with less than an hour to go in the auction the founder of CopBlaster.com found an email from DropCatch asking him to then provide a photo of himself holding the ID card. CopBlaster.com responded by saying that their request was "fucking bullshit" because due to monitoring restrictions imposed by the district court in his case, the owner of CopBlaster.com cannot own a mobile phone at this time and therefore it is completely unreasonable to ask him to take a selfie. This is a completely unreasonable request that assumes the person looking to bid on the site has a mobile phone or a web cam. First, nobody in their right mind owns a web cam for security reasons. Second, not everyone owns or needs a mobile phone and it is not reasonable to expect someone to acquire one just to take a picture of him or herself to send to DropCatch. We have no idea if that would have been sufficient. Remember that DropCatch had given notice of a 72 hour timeline to complete verification and the selfie request came in an email and was not listed on the site as a verification requirement. They probably would have asked for something more like a video of him holding the ID card at the bank that issued credit card followed by an interview with the bank manager vouching for the identity of the cardholder and a signed statement from someone at the bank's corporate headquarters vouching for the manager. Then they probably would have asked for a criminal background check, credit check, SAT scores, fingerprints, and finally a CT scan to make sure that the applicant had no brain damage. Long story short, do not use DropCatch if you are trying to auction off a domain. There are many better places to host domain auctions where interested buyers can actually bid on the domain. Whoever owned RateMyCop.com lost money by choosing DropCatch. Any good auctioneer accepts bids from anyone, only asks for payment information if they win the auction, and if for any reason payment is not made, awards the auctioned item to the runner up. Some might not agree with that last statement. A Google search for DropCatch results is lots of people accusing the site of being involved with fraudulent bidding scams. That might explain the verification process. A process that surely reduces bids but not in a good way as far as we are concerned. If you spoke to someone at DropCatch they would probably say that their verification process has reduced bidding fraud and therefore is better than letting anyone create an account and place a bid. They would then probably explain their selfie request as being something that 99% of their customers could comply with in a short period of time and blame anyone without a mobile phone for not keeping up with the times or acquiring a conviction that prohibits them from keeping up with the times. Still, a picture of a photo ID is good enough for Facebook, so it should be good enough for DropCatch. #ratemycop #dropcatch #namebright #scams

Racist Facebook Group Full of Border Patrol Agents

A bunch of racist Border Patrol agents were caught on Facebook last summer with their own racist Border Patrol Facebook group. A sample of their work can be found in the source article. Known participants in the group include: Thomas Hendricks Hector Garcia Jr. Jorge Nunez Mike Herrero Sierra Mowery Mark Ponch John Tedford Riley Glock Eric Castillo Bob Wilkinson Angel Avilez Anthony Ramos Rick Mora Jr. Zach Smith Christian Macias Jose Ortiz Adam Matott Jesse Cabe Mike Kotwicki Jesus E. Nunez Brian Fawcett Chad Wamsley Justin Blue Ortiz Gabriel Gonzalez Zack Smith Anthony Ramos Michael Scherer It is surprising to see how many of these racist people are against those of shared heritage. Any number of these names could just as easily belong to an illegal alien and if one were to ask a native he would probably call them all illegal alien names. The name of the group was "I'm 10-15" in reference to a radio code used by the Border Patrol to signal that they have an illegal alien in custody. The group supposedly had over 9,000 members at one time. It is not clear how many of their members were in fact Border Patrol Agents, but there were at least a couple dozen of them. It is also not known how many of the groups members (if any) were 10-15 year olds that joined thinking that it was a group of their peers possibly tricked by the immature behavior of the users as well as the name. It is also not known how many of the members were sexual predators that joined hoping to meet 10-15 year olds or how many of them are also Border Patrol Agents.#borderpatrol #facebook #racism

Lauren Williams Deits Helped USAO Prosecute a Former Client

When Lauren Williams Deits was a legal assistant for the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) in Portland, Oregon she assisted in the prosecution of Jason Paul Schaefer even though Schaefer is a former client of hers that she personally worked with at the Washington County Jail. In 2017 she was a legal assistant for the Metropolitan Public Defender (MPD) in Washington County and Jason Schaefer was an inmate facing a new criminal charge. Deits' job was to interview inmates about their cases within 24 hours of their arraignment and one of the inmates she interviewed was Schaefer. At the time of Schaefer's interview he was charged with being a felon in possession of body armor. Evidence in that case included body cam footage from arresting officers. That footage was later used by prosecutors in his federal case. Despite overwhelming evidence that would jog the memory of any normal person that had interviewed Schaefer in the capacity that Deits interviewed him, she claims that at no point when she was working on his federal case did she ever remember meeting Schaefer. The judge overseeing the case, Marco Hernandez, has stated in court that he does not believe her. This author personally dislikes Hernandez, has a very rocky history with him, and despite that fully supports his position that Deits is not credible. Diets' prior work with Schaefer did not come to light until someone at MPD noticed a Facebook post written by Diets about the guilty verdict in which she referred to the case as what she had lost her mind working on for months. The MPD lawyer reading the post remembered that Diets had worked with Shaefer's MPD defense team and notified Schaefer's lawyer. A criminal background check of Deitz revealed a dismissed speeding violation. The information from that case was listed as follows: 12/05/2017 VIOLATING A SPEED LIMIT Case Number 17VI208971 Crime Type TRAFFIC Degree Of Offense VIOLATION CLASS C Grade Of Offense CR Offense Code 811.111 Offense Date 11/26/2017 Offense Description VIOLATING A SPEED LIMIT Charges Filed Date 12/05/2017 Plea 2217 Disposition DIS Disposition Date 02/09/2018 Status STATE OF OREGON VS LAUREN WILLIAMS DEITS More information: https://ift.tt/33hhLQQ Possible Lauren Deits Facebook Profile: https://ift.tt/2JILJVZ DISCLOSURE: In the spirit of disclosure this author remembers living next to Schaefer at the Columbia County Jail in 2018. During that time Schaefer a.k.a. "Fingers" made my time better. At one point he stuck up for me after a guard used excessive force. Fingers helped me eat better when the jail would not sell me commissary. I believe that my opinion of Ms. Deits has been tainted by my positive experiences with Fingers kind of like how her experience with him surely tainted her work on his trial.#laurendeits #jasonschaefer #metropolitanpublicdefender
