It's been over a month now sense my son has been locked up. Apparently the SWAT team had grenades and tear gas. A week ago Sunday I was visiting my son and he told me this 18 year old kid got raped in the shower from this inmate in his dorm. The other dorm inmates made him beat him up and the 18 year old got charged with assault. I was angry when I left that that had happened in a county jail, not a prison so when I left I talked the guards about it. They asked what my sons name was and at that moment I was worried. I had not heard from him all week but what happened seems beyond real. The guards grabbed my son and told him do you want to go in the hole for 5 days? They said don't ever do that again. We could have lost our jobs. He was terrified. Can you even believe it? My son told me the guards only see what they want to see. I feel like writing the local newspaper. I am so angry and I feel so powerless. I need a lawyer with me when I go visit. This whole experience is so evil and seems so middle ages. I can't even believe it. Thanks for letting me share.

These kind of happenings is a mothers worst nightmare. I despise the way the system is set up that the inmates can't even report bad things going on or if something bad is happening to them and it makes us parents on the outside feel so helpless. Like my son tells me....snitches get stitches! Hate how this is! My son had someone come in his cell in county and threatened his life and to beat him up and wanted to take all his commissary items he bought from the jail store. My son is a little guy and 21 years old and these are the things I worry about. As much as we want to tell someone or help we subject our sons to further harassment and that fact sucks. I know my son loves getting mail but now he has told me not to send much now because he was taking flack from jealous inmates. We just gotta get them through this sometimes hellish life they are living :(
