Q: I need an attorney to file a claim for violation of rights and mental distress at the Christian County KY jail.
I was detained in isolation "the hole" without cause, with no contact, phone calls or access to legal representation for 6 days. I was not given so much as a cup to drink water from the filthy sink. I was repeatedly denied the ability to pay the cash bond, despite having ample funds in my checking account, and was only freed after the intervention of my ex wife, Dr. N.R., and my attorney in another matter, M.G.
A: Contact your local bar association or legal aid society. They maintain lists of civil rights attorneys in your area who may be able to help you.
