I am not an attorney and I have never had any kind of legal problems, however I have known some in law enforcement and I have known some who worked in and around law officers. I have know relatives of officers who told about what they do and to the ones they do these things to. Most ask that I not repeat these things.
In todays political world, I would just say think before you speak. These are not the GOOD OLD DAYS. |

It came to me this morning how LA county will justify Million dollar bail for Snell rather than 50k for PC 422 or 100K for PC 76.
Snell is a two strike felony offender in LA county, and with a third felony strike, he faces life in prison. Bail for charges which generally would result in a life in prison or death sentence if convicted have million dollar bail figures. DA Cooley's office has stated that they would probably pursue Snell's case as a second strike. I found envelopes at the post office which have prepaid postage, the postage is printed into the envelopes (no stamps) - 54 cents each. I'll send the envelopes Snell with his name in the upper left hand corner (maybe it will discourage Corrections Officers from pilfering the envelopes for personal use) along with some paper. He'll have to get a writing instrument from the COs. Quote:

Perhaps timing, picking the battle, or maybe knowing when to back off and let the situation work itself out might have been a good thing for Snell to do, but long distance hindsight is extremely easy to dispense. There are people in the City of Bell fighting to stay out of jail and / or keep a political career - maybe the only thing they know to make a living. After Snell's recall attempt in Bell and his general pain in the ass presence in addition to the corruption scandal / turmoil, it might have been sort of like walking in on a wounded bear for Snell to be making public information requests in Bell...

I stopped by the post office again yesterday and spoke with a clerk who guessed right away what I was up to. She asked "are you mailing envelopes to someone in an institution"? She also told me that a return receipt would delay delivery, she's heard that the guards don't like signing for anything.
Anyway, the postage paid envelopes are 54 cents each, and a larger envelope big enough to include a pad of paper as well is 99 cents plus postage for it all. I also inquired of a former "guest" of LA county. He told me that paper and a pencil can be obtained from the guards, but envelopes and stamps are hard to come by. He said to get envelopes which have the stamp embossed on them, that incredible as it sounds drugs get smuggled into jail under stamps, and take the metal tab off of manila envelopes and seal it with tape only - some prisoners are very creative in taking anything metal or plastic and fashioning weapons. The inference to me is that either delivery will be delayed or maybe not forwarded to the prisoner at all with the tab. He also said that any writing instruments sent will be confiscated by the guards.

They gave my son the 6 stamped envelopes that I sent. The post office licked the stamps although the prison had no way of knowing that. You need a paper from the inmate for a package. It gives you a list of what can be sent, weight, rules, etc. The paper must be attached to the package when it's sent. In order for the inmate to get pencils, ect, is to send them a Postal money order with their name and booking number on it. My son will not get any more from me, until he's sent a $20.00 money order for Christmas. I also folded the envelopes and put them into a small manila envelope. Hope this helps you.
Wish I didn't even know about this stuff. |
