One justifiable reason we hate the police.
Sent a letter to a friend which who is in the Pinal County jail and the police that run the jail returned it.
Their claim is that clippings of articles from any newspaper or magazine are contraband that is not allowed to be sent to prisoners.
There reason for refusal says:
2. Reason for denial: Per policy, nothing may be torn from any of publication and sent into the facility. Entire mailing must be returned to the sender.I can't think of any logical reason for this refusal to give an inmate a newspaper clipping, other then an attempt by the cops that run the jail to make life as difficult for the inmates as possible.
My friend is awaiting trial and has not been convicted of anything.
The address of the Pinal County Jail is:
Pinal County Sheriff Office
PO Box 2610
Florence, Arizona
85132971 Jason Lopez Cir
Florence, Arizona
85132(800)420-8689
(520)866-5111
If you ask me it sounds like we have a Title 42 § 1983 civil rights lawsuit that's going to be filed in Federal court.

The b*stards in the Pinal County Jail returned this letter to me. I got it last Friday, which I think was around October 20, 2017. They claimed he is not in the Pinal County Jail, which is a lie.
I did this search for him on Thursday, October 26, 2017 around 3:20 p.m. and he is definatelly in the Pinal County Jail.
Here is a copy of the letter which they returned to me.
According to the postmark it was sent on October 14, 2017

I sent a letter to Lawrence LeBlanc who is Inmate ID - 003543451 which
was postmarked on Saturday, October 14, 2017. I probably mailed it on
that day or the day before.
I addressed it to: Lawrence LeBlancThe letter was returned to me and it looks like the censors at the jail lied and said that Lawrence LeBlanc was no longer in your jail, and used that as a lame excuse to return it. But that's rubbish, I did a search with your Pinal County Inmate jail locater and it shows that Lawrence LeBlanc or Larry LeBlanc is still in your jail as of October 26 when I did the search. In fact he had a court hearing the day before in Apache Junction. I attached a copy of that search to this email. It looks like the censors at the jail also lied and tried to convince me that the letter didn't have the correct postage. It looked like they stamped "Returned for Postage" on the envelope in an effort to do that. However the stamp on the letter is a valid stamp. And it has a valid post mark, and it looks like they returned it because they lied and said that Lawrence LeBlanc or Larry LeBlanc was no longer in your jail. I attached a photo of one of the other stamps which are in the same group I used to send the letter and it looks like a valid stamp. It's the same stamp which I sent the first letter with and your censors returned the letter. Since your censors in the jail are violating my and Larry's 1st Amendment and 14th Amendment rights I am sending you a notice that I want to file a claim against Pinal County and the Pinal County Sheriff's Office for $1 million. I'm not Lawrence's lawyer, but since he is locked up in your cell and you seem to be denying him his constitutional rights, and he can't file a claim, I will file a claim for him asking for $10 million. He can decide if he wants to continue with the claim. If you deny my claim or refuse to act on it, I am planning on filing a USC 42, Section 1983 civil rights lawsuit in Federal court against you. If you deny Larry's claim or refuse to act on it, I will help Lawrence file a USC 42, Section 1983 civil rights lawsuit in Federal court against you. That's if Larry wants to. Also can you please give a copy of this email to Lawrence LeBlanc, and Lawrence LeBlanc's public defender who is Amy Wallace in the Pinal County Public Defender's office. This is also a request for public records, per Arizona's Public Record laws. I will not be using this information for commercial or businesss purposes. I will use the information to file a lawsuit against Pinal County and the Pinal County Sheriff's Office employees. My request for public records is the name of the person that returned the letter so I can add them as a defendant to the lawsuit. Thanks |

Looks like the bond of Lawrence Leblanc has been reduced to a measly $250,000 or a quarter million dollars.
Yea, sure you have a right to bond in the American police state.
Here is that update
Here is a letter I am sending to
Judge Steven J Fuller
Pinal County Superior Court(520)866-5576

| Subject: | Some concerns about the trial of Lawrence Leblanc Inmate #003543451 |

Dear Judge Judge Steven J Fuller:
I am concerned that Lawrence Leblanc who is inmate # 003543451 and is having a trial before you is not getting a fair trial and is having his civil rights violated by the Pinal County Sheriff's office. I have tried to get the phone number and or email address of public defender Amy Wallace, who is allegedly the public defender assigned to Lawrence Leblanc. I have never gotten a phone number where I can talk to her. Nor I have I ever been given an email address of her so I can email her my concerns that Lawrence Leblanc is not getting a fair trial. Can you give me the email address of public defender Amy Wallace so I can contact her? I have sent two letters to Lawrence Leblanc and both of them have been returned to me. The first letter was returned saying that the 3 by 6 inch newspaper clipping I sent Larry was contraband. That sounds a little bit hokey, because it was about a legal Arizona voter initiative. The second letter was returned saying that Lawrence Leblanc was no longer in the Pinal County Jail. That's sounds like an absolute lie, because at that time Lawrence Leblanc was being held on a half million dollar bond. The bond has been reduced to $250,000, and I just checked a few minutes ago and Lawrence Leblanc is still in the Pinal County Jail and has a hearing on January 2, 2018. If the Pinal County Sheriff's Office is denying Lawrence Leblanc his right to receive his mail, I suspect they are doing other things to deny him a fair trial. I would like you to order the Pinal County Jail to stop sending Lawrence Leblanc's mail back using the lame excuse he is not in their jail. Can you do that? I would also like to get in contact with Lawrence Leblanc so I can file a USC 42 Section 1983 civil rights lawsuit about the Pinal County Sheriff's office refusing to send Lawrence Leblanc letters I have mailed him. Can you arrange something so I can give Lawrence Leblanc a copy of the lawsuit so I can explain it and allow him to sign it, so we can both sue the Pinal County Sheriff in Federal Court for civil rights violations. Last can you give Lawrence Leblanc and his public defender Amy Wallace a copy of the email so they know I am concerned that the Pinal County Sheriff is trying to prevent him from getting a fair trial? Thanks Mike |
