OR guards lie and steal

At TRCI they threw away (or "lost") my mail I got while down before I went to the whole. They also "lost" some of the mail I got while in DSU [Disciplinary Segregation Unit] that I had them put into my property. I've kyted everyone possible regarding this issue. They either pass the buck or say I got all my property. I'm missing over 150 letters, over 30 post cards and over 20 cards. They were all in 1 bag with my info on it. They refuse to look for it even.

I had some important mail in it. It had my first letter from my father. Another was an apology letter from the guy that pressed charges against me. He admitted doing what he did and I hit him for. It would have helped to have this letter to show the judge. I'm filing a Tort claim. They shouldn't be able to get away with this. I bet I'm not the only one this has happened to. But it NEEDS to stop.

Another thing that happened at Two Rivers Umatilla Prison was something that blew my mind. My father called TRCI inquiring about me. He asked the guard on the phone what my charges were. The guard told my father I was down on a 'rape' beef. I'm down for Burg I and have never been in for a sexual crime in my life. This is slandering my name and very unprofessional of this person.
