We have no help here except the public pretenders who write appeals that are sure to be lost. You have to get all of the records you can including any file from attorneys. Find the court rules in your state and read about appeals and post conviction relief. Read through the files and look for problems. Hopefully you can find a law library that has librarians that help. They can teach you how to look up cases from the appeals court and how to write documents properly. We don't have that where I am. We are on our own with the whole system working against us. I am sorry about your being convicted when innocent, the system is designed to be controlled by the prosecutors who lie and hold back evidence while they arbitrarily decide who is treated harshly and who gets off Scott free. The public defenders threaten defendants with long sentences to manipulate pleas, they say things like,"You never know what a jury will do' as well. Don't leave while you are on probation as they will put you back in prison. If you would like to go to another state research the process of asking permission to move your probation there.

If your girlfriend did this while on probation that is a probation violation and could be used to send her to prison. However, she can inform the P.O. that she is recording all of the conversations. My purpose was to stop the inappropriate behavior and bullying. I have PTSD from bullying and having to go see these people with high school bully mentalities was harming my health. I wanted that P.O., his bully supervisor and anyone else to know I was recording the conversations. Not all of the P.O.s are like this, but apparently a large number are. I do wish I had recorded that very disturbed woman and her assistant in Anchorage because I doubt many people could really understand how sick and ignorant their behavior was without it.<br /> <br />AS 42.20.310.

I honestly do not know what to expect from this and quite frankly, am a bit nervous. With the Legislature currently in session right now, he is pushing for the public to jump on board with the States "5-year offender re-entry plan" for 2011 - 2016; with the intentions of integrating more rehabilitative programs in to the DOC pre and post release to reduce recidivism and cut (curb is the word he uses) corrections costs. I have been pointing out ways the public is not knowing or seeing where or how funds are being spent (wastefully) and pointed out to him the fact that, as this 5-year plan points out, the 66% of inmates who are incarcerated in the prison facilities are parole or probation violators are often there because it is too easy for parole and probation officers to violate - convincing him that they do it because they are often on a power trip and have serious judge/jury/god complexes is going to be more difficult than pointing out that there needs to be required alternatives that P&P must utilize FIRST vs petitioning to revoke, arresting and incarcerating as their first (while seemingly their favorite) course of action. One thing I've learned about the system is - it is slow. I don't know if I will get anywhere with this Senator, but I'm determined to do what I can. <br /><br />Anyway, I truly hope that you are doing well, that God has brought healing to your mind, heart and soul. I would love to visit with you more and you are in my prayers! <br /><br />God Bless You!Live freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786705638762533534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467799234602390052.post-92014128847734368372012-01-29T11:46:45.161-09:002012-01-29T11:46:45.161-09:00Are you still having to deal with them or are you ...Are you still having to deal with them or are you finally finished with it all together? I hope this post finds you doing well and healed of the trauma they have put you through. My heart goes out to you deeply. <br /><br />My family's lives have been utterly effected by their attitudes and mentalities as well. I was completely naive about the horrors of the system until about 7 1/2 years ago when I met my,now, husband. Ever since then I have had such a heart and compassion for those (and their families)caught up in the snares of the system. <br /><br />My husband is 'still' trapped in their clutches and it has been one hell of a roller coaster ride. We have learned so much though and it has really stretched our faith beyond comprehension. We have learned that God is ultimately in control and trust that he has a plan for our lives and uses our sufferings in this life for a greater purpose - perhaps to give us compassion to reach out to others to help them through their trials and sufferings down the road or to build in us a faith that is unshakable and to draw us closer to him; maybe in a way we would not have chosen to be if we had not gone through the suffering we have? I don't have all of those answers, but have simply learned to let go of all of the unanswered questions and trust HIM, while at the same time doing all that he has equipped me to be able to do to make a difference. <br /><br />He (my husband) is an amazing man and I am so proud of where he is at with all of this today. He, like you, has unjustly been held captive by the system, but because he has made mistakes that 'have' violated the laws, there is even less sympathy when seeking help than there is for those who are completely innocent. Even still, He has, after all of the years he has endured these trials,has truly clung to God and is trusting in God's will and plans for his life and we know that this will all end soon and when it does, God will use us to reach out to and encourage others who are trapped within it. He already does. <br /><br />My husband ministers to other inmates regularly and has been asked to start up a bible study by some of those you'd least expect would want anything to do with God. It is so exciting! <br /><br />He really has a heart for the young ones and tries to encourage them to take responsibility where they must, and to strive to stay out of the system there after as much as possible. <br /><br />cont ...Live freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786705638762533534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467799234602390052.post-70454724070660669522011-11-11T22:31:57.913-09:002011-11-11T22:31:57.913-09:00Anonymous Nov. 11th 9:04 P.M.

If what you are saying is true you should contact higher ups to tell your story at the dept of probation as well as the ombudsman's office, and any other agency with any influence. Never go through Ruben or risk their retaliation. Remember they have the power to have you incarcerated and harass you. If you do have a recording you may be able to use it, but unless they knew about being recorded it may be illegally obtained. If you can afford one, get the advice of an attorney.

While on probation him and the officer he worked with sexually harassed me several times.<br /><br />While watching a friends residence they came and drug tested me. Afterward they looked around the house and gawked at the female friend whom I was house sitting for.<br /><br />James asked me several times about her breasts on more than one time. The other officer made a comment to James saying he had hoped her and her husband did not have sex in front of their children (Because their children are young and share a large room with the mother and father). <br /><br />I started recording conversations with James a while back after me made slanderous remarks about me in the office to the other probation officers. <br /><br />I talked to a counselor about this and harbored it, I did not know what to do, I felt like I was hiding a secret about my best friend and her family. <br /><br />I emailed James the other day and told him, even though I cannot do anything about it, I will tell everyone the truth. I also emailed Ruben, head officer in the office, although he never emailed me back.<br /><br />-No Longer AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467799234602390052.post-4227399505682292932011-02-26T03:22:12.294-09:002011-02-26T03:22:12.294-09:00Anonymous 10:18 AM, I tried what you suggested sev...Anonymous 10:18 AM, I tried what you suggested several times and was not successful, that is why I have not written about this before.
