  • Grievances to Alameda County and Its Sheriff’S Office Page 2
    GRIEVANCES TO: Alameda County Board of Supervisors District 1 – Scott Haggerty District 2 - Richard Valle, President District 3 – Wilma Chan District 4 – Nate Miley District 5 – Keith Carson, Vice-President Alameda County Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Gregory Ahern Assistant Sheriff D. Houghtelling Commander Tom Madigan Captain D. Hesselein From: Inmates at Santa Rita Jail Date: February __, 2020 Re: Unbearable Conditions at Santa Rita Jail We are all inmates under the custody of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office: Santa Rita Jail. Our ultimate goal is to improve the overall conditions unto which all inmates of this institution are subject. We therefore, as inmates, affirm our consensus that the issues we list in this grievance, are common to all of us, and are the most significant issues we all endure. We are filing a group grievance because of the difficulty with filing grievances within Santa Rita Jail. The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office provides no information or guidance on the grievance process. There is an inmate handbook, but most inmates do not receive an inmate handbook. And the information in the handbook is very limited. There is no posted information on grievances or the grievance process, and what information inmates have is through transmission from another inmate, or experience at another facility. Blank grievances are difficult to obtain. Sheriff deputies discourage and pressure inmates not to file grievances. Even when grievances are submitted, the process is such that the jail itself often does not follow its own process, and a carbon copy of the grievance with a tracking number is not returned to the filing inmates.
