Medical staff at FCI Sheridan fail to screen new arrivals for MRSA and treat those that self-report their condition. MRSA is a dangerous form of anti-biotic resistant bacteria that causes giant puss-filled cysts, fever, and sometimes even death. On August 16, 2018 a man was moved from Multnomah County to FDC Sheridan and eventually placed in the special housing unit (SHU) across the street at FCI Sheridan. While at Multnomah County Inverness Jail (MCIJ) that inmate was sent to the hospital with a massive MRSA infection on his leg and a 105 degree fever. When he arrived at FDC Sheridan he told medical staff that he had been recently treated with anti-biotics for MRSA at MCIJ. The Sheridan staff did not give him anti-biotics. After being placed in SHU, he began noticing new cysts on his scalp and arm pit. He showed them to the lady that passed out pills and she said it looked like acne. He then turned in a request to see medical, was called out for an exam by a Harry Potter lookalike medical technician, and was sent back to his cell, still without anti-biotics. How big must such growths get before an inmate is treated? Did the medical staff wait until it was too late? This author was transferred and can not say. The name of the victim was Edgar Gonzalez. He was a pre-trial detainee and gave this author permission to use his name. As a pre-trial detainee designated to the FDC at that time he would have been under the care of Dr. Amador Cantu. Watch the video below to see what can happen when MRSA is not properly treated in a prison:#fcisheridan #bophealthservices #shu #mrsa #amadorcantu

When I read an article about the sentencing of Blaine Cooper a.k.a. Stanley Blaine Hicks Jr. for his role in peaceful protests at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, I was disappointed that I did not know of his history as a turncoat rat the day that I met him. That day was February 27, 2017 in the holding cell waiting to see U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman at the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon. Blaine was sitting in front of me in a suit and I was in jail scrubs waiting to seek pre-violation release, so when I met him I assumed that he had some type of pre-trial release issue. When I asked what he was in for he said, "I was at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge with Ammon Bundy." Thinking he was one of the good guys I responded by telling him how much I liked his work. If I knew that he was about to testify for the Government against protester Jason Patrick and others, I would have tried my best to knock him out. Even if he got the better of me, I would have at least forced him to testify with a black eye. I should have known because when I was booked into the Multnomah County Jail for a supervised release violation on February 24, 2017, I met Ryan Bundy. Bundy was being booked into the jail on a USM hold because he was brought to Oregon from the Nevada Southern Detention Center to testify for the defense. Bundy had been found not guilty in the same court the previous fall and was awaiting trial in Nevada on similar trumped up charges to the ones he was acquitted on in Oregon. Bundy's Nevada case was eventually dismissed for prosecutorial misconduct. I talked to Bundy quite a bit in the fish tank at the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC). Bundy talked about getting shot when Lavoy Finicum was murdered and I recall talking about my reaction to the cell phone footage of that crime as well as my respect for his work, but I never remember Bundy ever specifically warning me to be on the lookout for a rat named Blaine Cooper or Stanley Blaine Hicks Jr. If I have forgotten I apologize, but I do not believe that Bundy told me about Cooper. Anyone that knows of a rat in a jail should tell as many people as possible. In the future I recommend telling other inmates. If they are solid dudes they will do the right thing if given the opportunity. Having paperwork helps too, so they know you're telling the truth. If only Bundy had known better, I can't help but think that Cooper would have had more to cry about at his sentencing besides the months he spent in jail, his financial ruin, and losing friends due to his cowardice. He would have cried about the day he got his face smashed by the Cop Blaster and hopefully he would have had more regret for stabbing people in the back than he did for going to the refuge.#blainecooper #stanleyblainehicks #malheurwildliferefuge #traitors

This article was originally going to be titled something to the effect of "Jacking Off or Carjacking, Does Leah Bolstad Know the Difference?" Because at the time that the first draft was written Assistant United States Attorney Leah Bolstad had not yet demonstrated that she does in fact know the difference between the two and because this author had not yet seen "Making a Murderer" on Netflix. The comparison between jacking off and carjacking was going to be used to make the point that although both involve jacking of some sort the two activities could not be more different and Leah Bolstad had been behaving as if she had no idea what carjacking was. Carjacking is defined under 18 U.S.C. 2119 as "Whoever, with the intent to cause death or serious bodily harm takes a motor vehicle...from the person or presence of another by force and violence or by intimidation, or attempts to do so." The key elements of the offense that must be met are attempting to take by force and with intent to cause serious bodily harm. That is why when I read the case against Josh Stetzer I was shocked to see him being charged with carjacking for the attempted theft of an unoccupied vehicle. Specifically, Stetzer was accused of trying to steal a parked car when the owner caught him. Stetzer allegedly pulled a gun while fleeing the scene. Even if it were proven that he was trying to take the vehicle by force when the owner arrived and he allegedly pulled the gun, nothing suggested an intent to injure the owner. Fleeing the scene suggested just the opposite. Maybe if Stetzer had been caught jacking off in the car she would have had a better case. At least then she could have properly used the words "car" and "jacking" in the same sentence. On top of the so called carjacking, Bolstad thought it was appropriate to charge Stetzer with possessing a firearm just because someone claimed to have seen him with a gun. As a felon this greatly frightens this author because this author knows what it is like to fear guns being planted on or near him. Now this author must fear the possibility that anyone that wants to get this author in trouble can simply say that they have witnessed this author possessing a gun. One would think that to bring such a charge prosecutors would at least need to have caught Stetzer with a gun. So, why would Bolstad file charges against someone for a crime they clearly did not commit and another crime for which there is no real evidence? Stetzer had been serving a 15 year sentence but won his appeal and got his sentence reduced to 5 years. As a result, he ended up in a halfway house called the Northwest Regional Re-Entry Center (NWRRC) a decade before prosecutors thought he would. They were not happy about that, so when he escaped they tried to get him as much time as they could to offset the effect of him winning his appeal. In addition to the new escape charge, Bolstad filed the carjacking charge the day before the statute of limitations for that case would have expired. It turned out that the alleged carjacking was for an incident that took place 4 years and 364 days earlier. This incident was something the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) agreed not pursue when he originally pled guilty to the charges for which he received the original 15 year sentence. In that case Stetzer pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), but agreed only to a contested sentence for which his appellate rights would not be waived, so by winning his appeal Stetzer did nothing that the USAO did not agree that he could do. He won his appeal because the Supreme Court decided Johnson v. United States 576 U.S. ___ (2015) and held that the residual clause of the ACCA was unconstitutionally vague, as a result Stetzer did not qualify for the ACCA and had to be resentenced. Courts have traditionally held that vindictive prosecution takes place when the government retaliates by increasing the seriousness of the charges after a defendant exercises a constitutional or statutory right. Bolstad would not have charged Stetzer had he not won his appeal. Surprisingly and unsurprisingly, United States District Judge Anna Brown rejected Stetzer's vindictive prosecution challenge after Bolstad cited his new escape charge and stated that the escape changed the public safety needs to be considered regarding the carjacking case. This decision is surprising because the filing of the carjacking charge appears to be motivated by the success of the appeal and any public safety needs caused by the escape should theoretically be covered by legal remedies available for escapes. At the same time it is not surprising because judges are reluctant to grant vindictive prosecution motions, they do not want to question the motives of the USAO unless they absolutely must, judges in general dislike criminals, and as a result they like finding excuses to keep them locked up even if it means bending the rules. There really is no accountability for judges like Anna Brown. The most she has to worry about is Stetzer filing another appeal and winning. The end result are judges that lack the ability to systematically apply the law regardless of their personal gut feeling and they end up twisting the law to reach the result they want instead of simply saying that the law does not support what they want to do. It is true that intervening circumstances can justify a late filing of a charge, but case law examples make it clear that such circumstances must impact the merits of the case. Stetzer's lawyer argued many such examples and this author read his motion in jail but does not have a copy available to make more specific citations (this author is relying on personal notes made in jail). Those cases made it clear that the intervening change needs to be something like new evidence without which Stetzer could not have been charged 4 years and 364 days earlier. Bolstad produced no such evidence. Still, Stetzer was concerned that there was be a good likelihood that Bolstad could find a jury that would not have cared if he carjacked the vehicle anymore than if he jacked off in it. A jury like that would convict him for being a criminal charged with a crime because juries like that want to find people guilty and their only real criteria is the question, "do I like this guy?" Josh Stetzer seems to fall within a specific class of persons. Persons with criminal histories that fight for their rights. The Government likes to keep such people behind bars as long as they can by any means necessary. For prosecutors like Leah Bolstad just keeping someone like Stetzer in pre-trial detention is considered a victory whether or not it ultimately results in a conviction. In the District of Oregon there is no bail and it takes many months to resolve a case. The time and expense needed to just keep someone like Stetzer in pre-trial detention is worth it to the Government. This creates a system of pre-conviction punishment that is substantial. As long as Bolstad and others at the USAO believe that they are preventing crime by keeping people locked up on charges they know the person is not technically guilty of they will continue to provide examples to support the claim that this government is not a legitimate one. A legitimate government would care about the truth. The truth is that Bolstad has made a farce and mockery of the so called "justice" system that swore to uphold. She has created a greater evil than anything Josh Stetzer may have created by turning a system that should protect all innocent people against an innocent man. This practice is an abuse of power more dangerous than any single alleged carjacker. According to the BOP website Josh is now at USP Victorville.#leahbolstad #annabrown #vindictiveprosecution #uspvictorville

If you know an inmate in the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) or the Multnomah County Inverness Jail (MCIJ) then this official 2012 inmate manual is a must print and mail. Inmates are not given copies of inmate manuals when they arrive and must borrow one from a guard to review jail policies. Sending them their own copy, even if it is an older version of the manual, could be very helpful. An inmate that knows the rules is less likely to end get written up. I was fortunate to find this copy on top of the light in my cell when I moved it. It seems someone borrowed it, never gave it back, and the staff either did not look for it or considered it lost. I brought it home with me. Now you can have it by clicking on the above .pdf icon or link.#multnomahcountyjail #inmatemanuals #governmentforms

Do you know someone that is incarcerated in a Multnomah County jail? If so, you should send them copies of this inmate grievance form. This form is officially available upon request from an inmate, but often inmates ask for the form and are given excuses and do not actually get one for at least a week. By the time they get it, it has been over five days since the incident that they are complaining about and the form is rejected as being late. Then, if the inmate pursues the matter further, the jail can say that under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) the inmate failed to exhaust administrative remedies by failing to file a grievance within five days. Inmate in units 4E and 4F at the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) typically are not given grievance forms. Other units like 4B, 4C, 5B and 5C have a shot at getting grievance forms, but it is difficult. General population units typically can get grievance forms easily. It seems like the staff has an unwritten policy of denying grievance forms to those most likely to file grievances for egregious staff misconduct. That is because those that have been subjected to a use of force at MCDC are typically put in 4E and 4F. They stay their for more than five days and by the time they get to a unit that will hand out grievance forms it is too late to complain. These inmates make up such a small percentage of the population that the staff can get away with denying them grievance forms without it becoming much of an issue. This author does not know how grievances are passed out at Multnomah County Inverness Jail (MCIJ) because his experience there is limited to one day in dorm 16 when he was held there due to the hole at MCDC being full. Technically the yellow page is supposed to be a carbon copy, but if you print it off as is and mail it in, the inmate will at least have something to turn in. They might reject it for not being original, but at least the inmate will be able to say that he turned in something within five days. You are highly encouraged to click on the .pdf icon, download this file, print off several copies, and send it to an inmate that you know.#multnomahcountyjail #inmategrievanceforms #governmentforms #plra

Timothy Loren Fleming had just been in the SHU at FCI Sheridan for evicting an inmate from his cell because he found out that that inmate was a sex offender. Most people thought that Fleming was alright, but then someone discovered that Fleming has a sex offender history himself. In response to this a guy that I knew from Victorville USP told Fleming that he was no longer welcome at the white tables and that he would have to sit at the sex offender table. Fleming got pissed off and told on him. That guy ended up on the same range in the SHU as I was with a write up for threatening Fleming, and he told me the whole story. I ran Fleming's name through a background check service and found several charges for failing to report or register as a sex offenders. In a screenshot uploaded you can see that he has been charged with violating ORS 181.599.3(b) which applies to people that fail to register if the offense they have to register for was a felony. Oddly, the background check service did not display his underlying offense, so that remains a mystery to this author. Fleming was in the federal system for threatening cops on Facebook, so everyone called him "Facebook." This author personally liked the guy and associated with him not knowing of his history. This author was also in the feds for an online threat and shares a mutual dislike of law enforcement. It was very disappointing to hear that he told on someone that was nice enough not to beat him up or kick him out of the unit. Other people have made statements to me in support of the claim that Fleming got a guy sent to the hole for telling him not to sit at the white tables anymore. It seemed like Fleming just got his feeling hurt because he was one of the guys until the guys learned about his history. It was a vindictive move in retaliation for being rejected.#timothyfleming #fcisheridan #sexoffenders #marioncountyjail

In January of 2018 Paul Anthony Salazar, a convicted sex offender, ratted on inmate Timothy Fleming in J1 at the detention center in Sheridan, Oregon. This author was in the SHU (Special Housing Unit a.k.a. "the hole") at the time and discussed the incident with Fleming upon his arrival in SHU. Fleming was able to send his incident report down to me, I read it, and I took notes. It clearly stated that Fleming received an incident report for threatening one Paul Salazar (inmate number 08438-298) and described the incident as follows: "After speaking with inmate Salazar, he informed me that inmate Fleming had verbally threatened him with bodily harm, due to inmate Fleming somehow discovering the charges against him." An online background check of Salazar revealed that he is a registered sex offender in the state of Florida where he is listed as having absconded. His offense was listed as a violation of Florida Statute 800.04 "Lewdly Fondle Or Assault, Commit Or Simulate Sexual Acts On Or In Presence Of A Child Under 16 In A Lewd, Lascivious Or Indecent Manner." It is not clear exactly which federal sex crime he was in Sheridan for, but it really does not matter. His history is enough to put a child molester jacket on him. That by itself justified not wanting to live with him. Fleming by all accounts had taken Salazar's mattress out of the cell and thrown it out into the common area of the unit. Effectively evicting Salazar from the cell. This was a textbook check in move by Salazar. He should have just kept his mouth shut and checked in without taking an innocent man that just did not want to live with a sex offender with him. Fleming went easy on him given the circumstances.#paulsalazar #timothyfleming #sexoffenders #fcisheridan #checkedin

Briarcliff Manor Police Officer Nicholas Tartaglione beat up billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City. This appears to be a twist on the classic battle to the Rapo vs. the Rat that takes place in protective custody units in jails and prisons across the country. In this case the Rat is replaced by the greater evil, a police officer. Police officers and sex offenders are not allowed in general population because normal inmates will beat them up or kill them. As a result these pansies end up in protective custody, but still end up being beat up by other PC inmates. Even though a PC case is a PC case as far as the normal inmate population in concerned. The PC cases seem have their own hierarchy in which sex offenders are at the bottom beneath ex-cop, rats, and dropouts (ex-gang members). The gang members will say, "I'm running from my hood not my jacket;" the rats and cops will say "at least I'm no Rapo;" and the sex offenders will say anything to avoid being beat up by the others. Tartaglione is currently in jail for being a dirty cop that killed four men as part of a cocaine conspiracy. He will probably spend the rest of his life in USP Tucson or USP Coleman II, both of which are PC yards where ex-cops and rats like Whitey Bulger thrive. When Bulger was transferred to USP Hazelton he finally got what he had coming.#nicholastartaglione #jeffreyepstein #mccnewyork #sexoffenders

The Federal Department of Corrections in the NetFlicks show Orange is the New Black is really the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Other than that, Orange is the New Black's portrayal of the staff in the BOP is strikingly accurate. Watching this show is highly recommended for anyone that has been to federal prison, knows anyone in federal prison, or thinks they might end up in federal prison someday. The incompetence, immaturity, and sadistic behavior of the staff at Litchfield (which is really FCI Danbury) represents the staff at every federal facility that this author has been to. This author was incarcerated at FCI Sheridan from August of 2013 until January of 2014 and again in late 2017 and parts of 2018, and USP Victorville from January of 2015 until May of 2016. During that time this author experienced a beating at the hands of several prison guards in Victorville, (lawsuit followed, DC of Oregon Case No: 3:19-CV-00110-JGZ), was denied adequate healthcare, witnessed staff abuse inmates, witnessed staff look the other way while inmates are harmed, witnessed staff refusing to do their jobs, and witnessed them do their jobs improperly. There were a few decent staff members, but they were in the minority. It is hard to imagine a more accurate portrayal of the people that work in those place than Orange is the New Black. Unfortunately, there are many aspects of the show that this author suspects of being inaccurate when it comes to how inmates are portrayed. However, this could be due to differences between prisons full of men and prisons full of women. Security levels might also play a role. Most of Orange is the New Black takes place in a minimum security camp (FCI Danbury). This author has never been to a low or minimum security facility. He has only been to medium and high security prisons. Starting with a comparison of USP Victorville and Litchfield a.k.a. Danbury; homosexuality is not tolerated by the white car (the white inmates), if an inmate is discovered to have ever done anything homosexual he is smashed off the yard, but there are other racial groups that do tolerate a certain types of sexual diversity among their members (ex: gunners) and this author would not know if any of the other cars tolerate gays (other cars such as South Siders, Pisas, Natives, etc.); Cell thieves would be smashed off instantly and individual inmates would not be left alone to deal with their problems; a Mexican branding a white inmate would result in a war because the rule is that if a member of another race touches a member of your race then it is on and everyone jumps in; There would never be a war between two blocks where each is led by a member of the same race as took place at Lichfield maximum; wars are always race or gang related (for example the Whites and Surenos might go to war against the Blacks, or the Brand (Aryan Brotherhood) might go to war with the ABT (Aryan Brotherhood of Texas) even though both gangs are white; Finally, snitches are not allowed in general population, if an inmate were to tell on anyone they could not use their snitching for leverage like they do on Orange is the new black, they would be smashed, stabbed, or possibly killed. Comparisons between FCI Sheridan and Litchfied a.k.a. Danbury produce more similarities A few years ago the BOP began changing Sheridan from an active general population yard to a (protective custody) PC yard. This was done by classifying a greater number of sex offenders, dropouts, and rats to Sheridan. As a result sex offenders, snitches, and homosexuals have their own cars and more freedoms than any of them would have at an active USP or FCI. At Sheridan there are a lot of gay men hooking up, people snitching on people they don't like and getting away with it, and just a lot of lames in general that do not have enough heart to do anything about it. There is a camp at Sheridan and this author has met a number of people that have been there. At a minimum violence is rare and the likelihood of anyone doing anything against gays, rats, or sex offenders is small. For these reasons this author would not be surprised if the inmates Piper Kerman did time with at Danbury minimum were in fact like the show portrays them. Unfortunately, this author is highly skeptical of the show's portrayal of inmates at the maximum security facility. Enjoy the video below of funny moments from the Show. This author is looking forward to Season 7 of Orange is the New Black (the final season). Productivity will suffer greatly when it comes out on July 26th. #orangeisthenewblack #uspvictorville #fcisheridan #fcidanbury
