To : Mr . Warren Christopher, Chairman

Los Angeles, CA
Dear Mr. Christopher:
On or about October 10 , 1990, while awaiting cour"/proceedings
on a charge of drunk driving , Los Angeles County Jail
(Housing area 2000-2400) I was beaten and assaulted by a Los Ange!
os County Sheriffs Deputy as other Deputies looked on. I was
beaten about the upper and lower back with a rubber-coated flashlight
while forced to stand spread-eagle against the wall .
I filed a report a t the jail (10 - 90) via the inmate mail
drop . As far as I know , this incident was never investigated .
I sought medical treatment and was given pain medication .
The incident was documented by the jail doctor and related jail
hospital staff so I was informed at the time . Re: Inmate file/
Booking No . 2213-687 .
In March of 1991 , after arriving at the California Department
of Corrections Facility, California Men's ColonY-W es t ,
I wrote the Attorney General of the United States . That report and
letter is to date unanswered .
I request that you bring me before your Commission so that
I can tell my story and give information that would lead the Commission
to other victims who have been mist r eated and beaten while in
the Los Angeles County Jail .
Respectfully yours ,
