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

Benjamin Eide Was Rude to Me During a Phone Call

Multnomah County Sheriff's Deputy Benjamin Eide was rude to me during a phone call with a family member on March 31, 2017 at the Multnomah County Detention Center. 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. His incident report is being uploaded with this report. According to DPSST he once was licensed with the Troutdale Police.#benjamineide #multnomahcountyjail #jailphones

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
