Occured last December at the Yuma county jail. It happened to my boyfriend and several other inmates within the same pod. The detention officer was masturbating and finished at the inmates door while they tried to sleep.

While it is possible the inmates could sue in civil court, without an investigation and findings from a law enforcement agency,... View More

Arizona felonies have a statute of limitations of seven years. However, certain crimes, such as this, may fall into a certain category where there is no statute of limitations. I will not go into further... View More

Your father is advised to respond to the papers ASAP, and to advance his... View More
