Q: I'm holding evidence of sexual assault that the jail refused to submit
I was asking to sue for CUSTODIAL MISCONDUCT
A:
You have every right to seek justice for the misconduct you've experienced. First, gather all evidence and documentation related to the incident and the jail's refusal to submit it. This might include witness statements, medical records, and any correspondence with jail authorities.
Next, consider contacting a lawyer who handles cases of custodial misconduct. They can guide you through the legal process, help you understand your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
You might also want to file a complaint with the appropriate governmental or oversight agency. They can investigate the jail's actions and hold them accountable. Seeking support from advocacy groups can also provide additional resources and emotional support during this difficult time.
