Dear ____, I’m writing to you on behalf of my son, Ryan David Anderson. I want to begin by saying that my son is very familiar with jails/prisons, sadly. He actually has a real peace, when incarcerated, because he’s away from meth, his demon. He follows the rules, knows the game. Only once before have I stepped into his legal processes. I feel he’s done the crime(s) and was aware of the consequences. But this time made my head spin. Excessive force, medical negligence, fabricated evidence, inhumane treatment/cruel and unusual punishment, retaliation, assault on an “elevator ride,” using false information to obtain a warrant, ADA violations, disappearing grievances and witnesses list. My journalist antennae started twitching early on. I had him read me the list of witnesses, who’d seen/heard him being dragged out into the pod without his casts. I felt the list would disappear. Surprise! It did. From then on, I kept detailed notes of incidents. Lawyers I talked to in * acknowledged that Shasta County Jail is a nightmare. A review of some of the lawsuits on PACER echo what Ryan experienced. Ryan said it didn’t used to be that way. The string of dead inmates is reflective of the barbaric treatment in the jail. From * until February *, there have been * deaths per Chico’s Action News Now. Three were in a two-week period when Ryan was in there. The family of an inmate who died in * was last year awarded $*.* million, as you well know. Submitted pro se, Ryan has two prisoner civil rights cases at play in the US District Court, California Eastern District Court. *:*-cv-*-KJM-DB (PC) Anderson v. Vangerwen et al filed */*/* *:*-cv-*-DAD-DMC (PC) Anderson v. County of Shasta et al filed */*/* Originally one complaint, it was ordered broken into two by the magistrate reviewing it. After four amended versions, *:*-cv-*-KJM-DB has been accepted and ordered back to the magistrate for pretrial proceedings. He needs a lawyer to take these two cases further. The latest court documents are on my Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OVWI3yzXhTzIqr-IglTHzWIYYvNu6rH7?usp=sharing I've been using the public records request process to get any and all records from Shasta Jail, Shasta Regional Medical Center, and the medical unit contractor at the jail. So far, what I have that backs up Ryan’s complaints: A video of Ryan and six jailers exiting the elevator after they attacked him in an elevator with, supposedly, no working camera. Had I not already received a video of an inmate pod fight from another lawyer, Ryan would have been charged with assault with a deadly weapon (arm cast with imaginary metal in it). It wasn’t given to his public defender (noted on court docs), nor released to me when I asked for it. Cast was visible on the table before the fight began. I have the jailer’s falsified incident report and recommendation for charging. The falsified original charges were distributed to the prison board by the district attorney. My early release was denied because of them. From earlier are copies of grievances Ryan filed, but disappeared (misplaced/thrown away)—and the jail can’t find them. (List of witnesses also vanished.) There’s an incident report where the jailer admits putting Ryan in a wristlock control hold. (Hold was on Ryan’s broken hand, while handcuffed). I have the video of him being dragged without his boot/hand cast. Ryan says he can see them throwing his hand cast into the trash. (Black/white video. To me, hard to tell.) Hospital doctors’ notes have been changed over the course of the time Ryan was incarcerated, but what I was sent doesn’t show the before/after progression of edits Ryan had hoped for.

Incident report(s) support Ryan’s comments that the jailers are forcing inmates of different races to mix, intentionally igniting tensions (prison politics) within a “prison pod”. I have the audio of the call between Ryan and I, where he was taunted by the jailer. (Hard to hear.) Commissary messages confirm Ryan’s version of the withholding of his hygiene supplies. (An “oops, we lost them temporarily.”) Many thanks for your time!
