We have discrimination happening in all the jails in Oregon. People are being refused a job because of their charges, which is clearly treating someone as guilty before it is even proved in a court of law. We have lots of documentation of this from the Washington County Jail (see earlier posts), e.g., a lady was place in segregation for 3 months without even giving a reason!
We also have a ladies here who are being sued on the basis of their conviction and having restitution garnished from them without them even being present during the decision. All of this done before they even had a chance to appeal their cases.
