A:
It's important to act quickly in situations like this. Reach out to local legal aid organizations or public defender's offices; they often provide free legal services to individuals who cannot afford them. They may be able to assign a lawyer or an advocate who can visit your son in jail and provide the necessary legal assistance.
Additionally, consider contacting a civil rights organization or an advocacy group focused on prisoners' rights. They can offer guidance and, in some cases, direct intervention or legal representation. These organizations are experienced in dealing with cases of mistreatment and conflict of interest within the justice system.
Ensure that your son is aware of his rights and the importance of documenting any instances of mistreatment or threats. Writing down dates, times, and descriptions of incidents can be crucial evidence. Encourage him to remain calm and respectful in all interactions, as this can be beneficial in his case and personal safety.
