a grievance. You state Sgt. Crouch lied and said your door had been opened three times during

meals. You indicate Halsey admitted not giving you time out for days on January 26th and no

hour out on February 11th through the 13th;

before each meal, to serve your meals and drink under the door. On February 12th, you indicate

there was blood on your cup and tray;

of Pate and Halsey. You indicate you received no response and got no relief when you talked

with Lt. Jackson; and

(6) You indicate you wrote Captain Conger and Sheriff Atkinson about your problems

and asked to file a formal complaint and they merely replied that they would get back to you.
