There was an attempted escape of two inmates at CSP-Calipatria. Two white inmates were caught attempting to escape after being given keys or sold them by staff on December 18th. This has prompted the administration of this prison to conduct an institutional wide retaliatory style type of cell searches confiscating inmates personal property (i.e. canteen, legal work, radios, TVs, etc.) as a form of punishment for this incident.
I urgently implore you and all supporters of the struggle to file complaints against the Warden Stuart J. Ryan, Chief Deputy Warden Tim Ochoa, and the Associate Warden J. L. Janda, with the Director of Corrections: Joanne Woodford, PO Box 942883, Sacramento, CA 942883 and with the state personnel board: 801 Capital Mall, Sacramento, CA 94244.
