Is this considered a form of torture?

February 62012

I have a mother in the jail system. She has not been convicted of any crimes and is awaiting pretrial. She has mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder. I have to pickup her medication from a pharmacy and take it to the jail. But that is not related to the question.

The jail and the nurses sometimes do not give her medicine to her. They will play mind games and say that the jail states that she does not take medication, even though I take her medication to the people myself. I have been for the last 6 months.

At times she will get very angry and start mouthing off at them with the top of her lungs. Because of that she is punished and not served food for that entire day. Sometimes they will not let her shower. She has told me that they will turn on the lights as if she is to wake up and get ready for the day and then she will look out further and see that the other jail cell lights are off.

Is this considered a form of torture? If so what can I do? I reside in the United States. I know for sure that if this is considered a form of torture that she is having her rights violated. I thought that if she isn’t convicted of a crime her rights aren’t signed away to a jail system.

Is there anyone I can contact to get help, even just some type of advice? I have tried contacting the detention center and all they do is deny it or put me through so many transfers that I eventually get hung up on.

This whole ordeal is corrupt. Her case is corrupt. I believe its because it is election year in my city so the prosecutor is just trying to make a name for himself.

I had found out leaked information from a person in the grand jury against my mother. They said that they tried to ask questions about her case and the prosecutor said that he could not release that information. I know she is innocent but I can’t do anything. I paid $5000 to a bunk lawyer who has only talked to her 4 times in the last 6 months. He doesn’t fight for her and she has even tried to fire the attorney and the judge wouldn’t let her.

I am stuck in a bind and I really need some kind of help. Please serious answers. This isn’t some kind of trolling question.

Thank you!

Sorry that I have ventured so far from the question just that I really need advice. It seems as if the detectives involved and anyone apart of the case is all crooked.

I have been to some of her court hearings for a conditions of release. The prosecutor had shown that they do not have any definitive evidence against her. They are holding her for conspiracy charges.

There is no physical evidence against her. There isn’t even DNA evidence against her. It is the person’s word against hers. But it would have been a simple domestic violence case if the person that called the police on my brother (one being charged with agg. assault plus other bogus charges) if she had not ran to a victims advocate group.

This group called A. Place, has so much pull with the court that they have set a million dollar bail on my brother. There is people in his unit that have similar charges that do not have million dollar bails. The only people I see getting those is people with murder.

My mothers bail had started out with $850, 000. Then was dropped to $500,00 and is now a CASH only bond of $17,500.

Please. I need advice. I do not know if this is helpful information but I do have general power of attorney from my mother.

Thank you again.

P.S.
She is the the Ag-seg unit. Away from other prisoners. In her own cell.
Who do I report them to? @the first answer.
@ingsoc1
I do not know if you mean this situation is BS or if you mean something else. But it is true. I hope I am not violating anything but here is the detention centers name. You can give a call and verify for yourself.

Yuma County Detention Center
(928) 539-7841

I pick up the RX from the Pharmacy. I then go to this gazebo and press a button. Someone on the other side of the intercom asks what I need. I tell them that I am there to drop off a prescription medication for a prisoner. They tell me to wait. I wait and then a lady in medical scrubs comes out. I hand her the medication and she goes back into the jail.

Here look at this address on street view in Google maps.
289 West 1st Street, Yuma, Arizona, United States
To the right is a gazebo. That is where I drop off the medication. No BS.

You should report them

How to leave emotionaly abusive husband with kids?

February 22012

I have been married to my husband for 14 years, we have 3 children ages 10,11 and 12. He has always been somewhat strict, but in the last year it has gotten really bad, and continues to get worse. I am 33 he is 46 and of middle eastern decent. To him, nothing I ever do is right, I’ve done everything wrong, because I didn’t do it his way. I have a curfew. I must be home by 3pm on a school day because that’s when our oldest daughter gets home (she is twelve). He works overnight, so he sleeps during the day. Dinner must be done by 4pm, or he has a fit, telling me that I have messed up his whole day, because dinner is late, but he wakes up at 3pm, and never has dinner with us because he says he just woke up and had breakfast, so he does not want to eat dinner with us. On Saturday, I take the kids to my grandmother/aunts house (they live together) but we must be home by 4pm, and I have to set the coffee pot so that when he wakes up at three all he has to do is push the button to make coffee. If he wakes up and the coffee is not ready, he calls me on his cell phone (he won’t let me have a cell phone, I use his when he is asleep) He yells and screams, "What were you doing that you were in such a rush you couldn’t make my coffee, Is it that had for you to set the coffee pot before you leave!" If I am not home by 4:10 he starts calling the cell phone. "Where are you? Why are you late? I told you to be home by 4, if you can’t get here by 4 next week your not going to take the kids to your family’s house, they stay home, you can go, the kids are not going!" He also expects me to teach the kids arabic, I am not a native arabic speaker, he is. He wants me to spend an hour a day teaching them arabic, but I have to be almost silent because hes sleeping and our apartment is small. Over the christmas break he told me that the kids are not to leave the house the entire break, and I am to teach them arabic for two hours a day, one hour in the morning, and another in the early evening, and again try to keep 3 kids very quiet all day while he sleeps. He does not give me any money unless he tells me exactly how to spend it, and asks for the receipts when I get home. If there is something I need to buy I have to tell him what I want and how much it is and then get his okay before he gives me the money for it. He will not let me work, every time I ask to work, he starts yelling and says he doesn’t want to hear it again. He’s very mean to the kids, they are not allowed to have an opinion, he will not let them go anywhere (not even a friends house, or even family’s house for a play date) He tells them don’t even ask because the answer is no! When they ask why, he says because I said so that’s why. I can’t take it anymore, he treats me like crap, says horrible things to me. I’ve spent the last few months crying my eyes out every night because of the way he talks to me and making me feel like I am less than nothing. I’ve gone to the domestic violence center, and they told me that it is considered emotional and financial abuse, but its not against the law. They said if he hits me, they can do more to help me and the kids, but right now they can put me in a safe house for 60 days, but at the end of the 60 days, I’m on my own. Both of my parents passed away, the only family I really have is my grandmother and aunt, but one, there is not enough room at their house for me and three kids, and two, that is the first place that he will look for me. Also, as I said earlier he is from the middle east, the kids have passports, but they are expired, he asks me daily to get the applications to renew the kids passports, but I won’t get them, I don’t trust him. I believe he would send the kids to his mother in Egypt without me knowing. I will not get their passport renewed, but he yells at me everyday because I didn’t get the applications, an I will never get them! I don’t cry anymore, I don’t have a tear left, now I am determined to leave him and take the kids with me, but I have no job, no money, no where to go, and a shelter can only help me for 60 days. I don’t know what to do! Any suggestions or information that anyone can give I would Truly appreciate. Thank you in advance!
@nasfa. I have asked him about counseling over a year ago, he said there is nothing worng with him, and what happens in his house, no one else needs to know,
@ Nick The shelter is the place that told me, he’s not physicaly violent, so I can’t even get a restraining order on the grounds that I have, because it’s not a crime to be a prick
@ M If you read the whole thing, my parents died when I was young, thinking back I wonder if my husband "targeted me" for that reason, he knew he had no inlaws to deal with. I’ve seen the movie, and I also know other middle easten people, they do not agree in any way with how he treats me. I don’t want pepole to thing that they are all like that, I’ve met many that would give you the shirt off your back, One Prick doesn’t mean they all are!
@ common sense. The shelter is the place that told me 60 days because there is no physical abuse, I do not qualify for additional help.
@ rice paper My state has no legal seperation, you are married or divorced. I have no problem working, I would love to be working, one concern is child care. I don’t know what type of people will be at the shelter, and I won’t leave my kids with just anyone, perhaps the shelter will have some kind of system for this, In addition, I’ve been told that due to the lack of physical abuse, it’s not enough for a restraining order

Before you leave be sure to make a plan. Have all of yours and your kids important papers, medications, etc. Try to have money put aside and if possible credit cards in your own name. Have a car if possible and put the registration and title with your important papers. Get all this together and leave them with someone you trust.

Why do Christians and Westerners hate women so much?

January 12012

In 1991, 5,745 women in the United States died as a result of homicide.

* Six in every 10 women who are victims of homicide were murdered by someone they knew. About half of these women were murdered by a spouse or someone with whom they had been intimate.
* Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15-44.
* Every 21 days, a woman is killed by domestic violence.
* Up to 50 percent of all homeless women and children in this country are fleeing domestic violence.

The Women’s Health Data Book Report — Violence Against Women indicated that:

* More than 2.5 million females experience some form of violence each year. Almost two of every three of these females are attacked by a relative or person known to them.

* The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found in a national survey that 34 percent of adults in the United States had witnessed a man beating his wife or girlfriend, and that 14 percent of women report that they have experienced violence from a husband or boyfriend.

* More than 1 million women seek medical assistance each year for injuries caused by battering.

* In 1992, the American Medical Association reported that as many as 1 in 3 women will be assaulted by a domestic partner in her lifetime — 4 million in any given year. ("When Violence Hits Home." Time. June 4, 1994).
* Among all female murder victims in 1992, 29% were slain by boyfriends or husbands
* The average prison sentence of men who kill their women partners is 2 to 6 years. Women who kill their partners are, on average, sentenced to 15 years. (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1989)

WOW 33% of USA female will be assaulted by a domestic partner
Islam is the only religion that protects and respects women.

What a shame is it to share this planet with Christians.
"female circumcision" is against sharia law you must google it is preformed by Christians in Egypt oo

I agree with you that women have no easy life in Western countries.

Your problem is, though, that you provide absolutely no evidence whatsoever for conditions being any better for us in Islamic countries – mostly of course because they’re not

I’ll give you this: the Quran is slightly less sexist than the Bible (having read both) – it’s still a book that regards men as men and women as helpless and clueless little children, though. And don’t get me started on the freaking hadiths; I use these to play sexism bingo! (My favourite is the one where Muhammed says that women are deficient in intelligence!)

How would the case for domestic terrorism charges against Rick Perry be built?

December 162011

Of course we’re speaking of domestic terrorism as it applies in USA.

We need grounds that qualify his actions as domestic terrorism. For that, we need to turn to the Patriot Act…

http://www.aclu.org/national-security/how-usa-patriot-act-redefines-domestic-terrorism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_PATRIOT_Act
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_United_States

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_United_States#Definitions_of_domestic_terrorism
According to a memo produced by the FBI’s Terrorist Research and Analytical Center in 1994, domestic terrorism was defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence, committed by a group(s) of two or more individuals, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."

"Under current United States law, set forth in the USA PATRIOT Act, acts of domestic terrorism are those which: "(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."…"

We need at least one thing from column A, B, and C to qualify and build a case of domestic terrorism charges against Rick Perry.

I believe B and C are easy to come by. (Source…tv, news, youtube, Rick Perry’s mouth)

What acts that endanger human life and are a violation of some law has Rick Perry performed, if any?
At least think, or people like this man will take you over without you knowing.

like the pyramids, on the backs of the hebrews

Thank you Jesus! thank your the west for your genocide towards your own women.
I would like to gather all bibles copies and burn them

It’s because the bible insists that women are below men and do not deserve equal rights.
It’s even considered an act against god when a country has a female ruler.
So, christians hate women because their bibles tell them it’s right.

What is the cause of this disaster?
Christianity ?
Western democracy?
Western strange habits?
Muslim immigrants?

They don’t. The reason your statistics are skewed is because eastern women are oppressed and are not as willing to come forward with reports of abuse.

Legal Question about Domestic Violence…Need some help.?

June 122011

O.k. first off let me start by saying all names in this description are fictional, I have changed them so not bring any unnecessary attention to anyone involved. I am just trying to help a friend get some facts straight before they make contact with the proper authorities.

Anna is adopted into a family with that already had two biological children.

Adopted mother and father = Michael and Candy
Their biological children = Abigail and Clark

Anna’s biological mother is the adopted sister of her now adopted father, Michael.

Anna has no real blood connection with adopted family.

Anna grows up watching Michael carry out abusive actions against the oldest child, Abigail.
When Abigail turned 18 and moved away, Michael’s abusive attention then turned to Clark.

When Clark moved, Anna only had a few more months until she graduated and was free herself, but she was already 18.

Anna has been in this family’s care since the age of 7. During this time, never allowed to have a job, obtain her driver’s license, or socialize with any friends outside of ones that attended the family church.

When Clark moved out and the Michael began to behave angrily toward Anna, she packed some things in the middle of the night and left, before he could get a chance to hurt her like her adopted siblings.

The siblings speak of the abuse in conversation, but refuse to step up and help be a witness to the father’s abusive behavior. Both have even gone as far as to say that if they were put on the stand they would lie, because he is their dad and family should stick together no matter what.

Anna was not aware that any of the Domestic Violence centers in her area existed, she genuinely felt that running away was her only option.

Is there any chance for a proper defense to be mounted? The adopted parents have documents and information about Anna’s biological mother, that she wants, and could possibly need in the future, but Michael and Candy refuse to give it to her, and state that if Anna contacts them against they will file a harrassment suit.

This is complicated in the extreme, and to some extent could have been avoided if Anna just spoke up in her school or church, but anyone who has come from a home of abuse understands the confusion and trapped feeling one can feel.

I am not looking for excuses for her, simply trying to see if she has anything to present so that she can obtain information from the adopted parents about her biological mother. She is willing to let go of the few pictures she had of her mother that were left from the night she left, but there are things of a personal and emotional valuable nature she wishes to get back.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hello, Jera,

"Anna" is a legal adult now?

OK. She should go to court and obtain an "Order of Protection" against the other parties.

And, then the judge will order the adoptive parents to return all "official documents" concerning the now adult "Anna" to her control.

And, the Judge will order the adoptive parents to refrain from all contact with "Anna."

It costs "Anna" nothing to do this. She should see the county "district attorney" or "state’s attorney" depending on what they call that person in your state. It is all under "Victims’ Rights" laws.

Best wishes,
