We all took this job knowing an assault could happen, but we never realize it could happen to us.
C/O Valles

Within 2 weeks of my assault I received a check. I more than recommend becoming a member of the California Staff Assault Task Force as another way of making inmates accountable for their actions.
Sincerely,
