Fortune Favors the Bold

I don't pprove of violence, it does make me think about how neutered the american public has become. In times past there would have been a lynch mob out for the sheriff.

Heres a news article that mentions Stark County Jail:

http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090511/N...

That same year, the numbers were much lower in the Montgomery County jail in Dayton, where 38,750 inmates were housed and there were no suicide attempts or assaults.

Much higher numbers were reported from the Stark County jail in Canton, where 11,761 inmates were housed and where there were 14 serious suicide attempts and 89 inmate-on-inmate assaults.

Stark County didn’t even process a third of the people Montgomery County jail did, but they look like the suicide capital of the whole country. That alone should tell you something is wrong.
Looks like Stark County personnel could use some more training, and a new Sheriff.

Ukrainian woman should get day in court over botched translation at jail

CANTON —
A jury should hear a Ukrainian immigrant’s claim that a botched translation led to her wrongly being placed on suicide precautions at the Stark County Jail, a federal judge ruled this week.

But an appeal of that decision by the county and Sheriff Timothy Swanson means Valentina Dyshko’s case won’t go to trial next week as scheduled.

Dyshko, of Lake Township, filed her lawsuit last year.

In court papers, her attorneys say the jail employees violated Dyshko’s constitutional rights by communicating with her through an unqualified interpreter, and that the sheriff’s office has no policy on how to handle detainees or inmates who don’t speak English, which is contrary to national standards.

Further, Dyshko’s lawsuit says she missed three doses of medication for a serious blood disorder while in the jail, and that the ordeal caused her severe emotional distress and led to her being hospitalized.

The county argues that Dyshko’s rights weren’t violated and that the jail staff acted reasonably.

Neither David Malik, an attorney for Dyshko, nor James Climer, an attorney for the county and Swanson, would comment on the ruling.

The appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals will take months to complete.

JAILED FOR A MISDEMEANOR

On March 10, 2006, Dyshko turned herself in on a misdemeanor warrant issued by Stark County Family Court. The charge, related to the home-schooling of her children, later was dismissed.

She speaks little to no English and sheriff’s deputies were unable to communicate with her. Unable to get a translator from a local Ukrainian church, the jail staff enlisted the help of a woman who is the mother-in-law of a corrections officer, according to court papers.

The interpreter spoke to Dyshko over the phone and asked her about her health and whether she was suicidal, and reported that Dyshko wanted to kill herself.

Dyshko was placed on suicide precautions. She voluntarily removed her clothing and was given a quilted gown to wear, which she maintains didn’t stay fastened.

She spent the weekend in jail, but was allowed to make phone calls to relatives and the Ukrainian Embassy, according to court papers.

COUNTY SEEKS DISMISSAL

The county asked U.S. District Court Judge John R. Adams to dismiss the case, saying Dyshko’s constitutional rights were not violated.

Procedures exist for communicating with Spanish-speaking inmates, but Dyshko was the first Ukrainian-speaking inmate encountered by the jail, and there was no reason to believe the interpretation was incorrect, the county argued.

In his ruling, Adams said a jury could reasonably conclude that Dyshko’s rights were violated and should hear the case.

He noted that, according to a translation of Dyshko’s comments at the jail by a different interpreter hired by the county for this case, Dyshko actually said, “Why would I want to die? I want to go to my kids.”

“A reasonable jury could conclude that this entire circumstance could have been avoided if a policy existed within the jail for attempting to obtain foreign language interpreters when the need arose,” Adams wrote.

Referring to the sheriff’s deposition, the judge took aim at what he called Swanson’s “declaration that the occasional foreign-language speaker resembles a space alien whose existence in Stark County does not require his attention or the promulgation of a policy.”

Dyshko’s attorneys also represent Hope Steffey, a Salem woman who is suing the jail over its use of suicide precautions. That case is pending before another judge in federal court.

Maybe the police did not call it a strip search because they might have left one of he sox on?

Liberty is our campaigns gift to the world it is our manifest destiny.
Freedom is a movement who's time has come. Our campaign will lead world wide freedom.

Steffy is white that's why there was no coverage, no outrage reported in the media.

Cops are goons. And they lie and cover up for each other it's no secret they do.

They left her in the room naked for six hours. A room with cylinder block walls? If she was that dangerous, why wasn't she transfered to a mental hospital, put in a straight jacket, restrained to a bed, or sedated? If she was that close to taking her own life why would you give her the chance to bash her head in? Those walls don't look padded to me.

I cannot believe this story. Many years ago a dear friend of mine was put on suicide watch at a mental hospital and she was allowed to at least have a gown.

I take it she is out of jail? Is there anything we can do? I will fly to Ohio to march on this police station. Imagine people from all over the country coming to protest this treatment. This is where we use someone like Glenn Beck to cover the story. 10,000 people march on stark county sheriff to protest treatment? That's a headline they would have to deal with.

It is too infuriating!! These uncouth, filthy, zombies are paid from the public coffers. How disgraceful. Law enforcement? They are criminals.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

and what do lawyers become????? Judges. Cops are nothing but paid muscle for the legal profession. Keep churning cases out and they are protected from any responsibility. I live in N.E. Pa. and we had to have the Feds come in to snatch up two Judges who were locking up kids at a facility they had financial ties to. The local DA as well as our state AG wouldn't come near it even though it was common knowledge to all in the area. Our system in PA. is broken from the district Magistrate level all the way to our Appelate Courts. A case was presented to our PA Supreme Court a few weeks before these two ingrate Judges were arrested and the Court refused to hear it. Surprise....after the arrest they opened the case to investigate why so many kids were being locked up. One other thing about this area...I was involved in a property dispute with a local power broker and arrested by a clown who admitted on the stand he wasn't legally employed as a police officer. I still can't figure out how I was convicted of resisting arrest.

It is common knowledge that Police all over the workd misuse their authority, whether its with women, female inmates or with regard to law and order. Corruption is rampant and these officers are hand in glove with criminals. I am extremely glad that this incident has come to light or else we cannot even imagene what these female inmates must have been subjected to. Even some female officers and females wardens are hand in glove with such police men. Its absolutely shameful even in the UK there was raid at some night club and a few London Escorts were rounded up, strip searched and even molested by policemen, I mean the governments got to do something, if the very people who have to protect start abusing then whats going to happen.
Strong action must be taken.
