James Diesso
James killed a man in prison. The family of the victim sued the prison because it was the prison's fault. They lost but the prison almost always wins.

Monday, October 21, 2002 JAMES DIESSO AT THE AGE OF 11 JIMMY CAME DOWN WITH A BRAIN DISORDER FROM THOUGHT TO BE DUE FROM A BICYCLE FALL OR A HIT OVER THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD (RIGHT TEMPLE) WITH A BASE BALL BAT FROM A CHILD. AGE 12: JIMMY STARTED HEARING VOICES AND RUNNING. NOT FROM HOME OR ME JUST RUNNING FROM THE VOICES. HE WOULD CRY IN THE BATH TUB AND ASK ME TO COME TALK TO HIM THAT ONLY MY VOICE WOULD MAKE THEM GO AWAY! THAT THEY SCARED HIM SO MUCH. AGE 12: JIMMY MISSING. I PUT OUT A MISSING PERSON REPORT NOT KNOWING THEY WOULD DO WHAT THEY DID. (INCARCERATE HIM) THEY LIED AND LIED TO ME OVER AND OVER TELLING ME HE WOULD BE LET OUT. WELL EVEN WHEN I DID FINALLY GET HIM OUT HE WOULD RUN AGAIN IN A BLACK OUT STATE. NOT KNOWING WHAT HE WAS DOING OR WHY. WHERE HE WAS HOW HE GOT THERE AND SO ON. CRYING ON THE PHONE TO ME WHEN HE CAME OUT OF HIS BLACK OUTS. MOM HELP ME I AM SCARED MOM. BY THEN THE POLICE TOLD ME IF I DID NOT BRING HIM IN WE BOTH WOULD BE IN JAIL AND WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO MY SON. THAT MOM SON WOULD BE OUT SOON AND I NEEDED TO BE HOME TO CARE FOR HIM. SO THE NIGHTMARE STARTS! JIMMY HAD BEEN UNDER DOCTORS CARE. FIRST HOSPITAL AT ELEVEN
(CALABASAS CALIFORNIA) WHERE THEY ALMOST O.D.ED HIM ON MEDS. THEN ASKED ME TO TAKE HIM OUT CAUSE HE WAS TO HARD TO HANDLE. WHEN HIS AUNT AND I WOULD VISIT HE COULD NOT EVEN TALK HE WAS SO MEDICATED. HE TRIED TO CALL ME AT HOME BUT HE COULD NOT TALK. I WOULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL THEY SAID IT WAS NECESSARY AND I NEEDED TO LET THEM DO THEIR JOB. THEN ONE NIGHT THEY ALL ME ASKING ME TO COME TAKE HIM TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCY CARE FOR JIMMY IT WAS A WEEK END AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A DOCTOR ON STAFF. :( GERRRRRRRRR I TOOK HIM AND FOUND OUT HE HAD BEEN OVER MEDICATED. THEY HAD BEEN GIVING HIM 250 GRAMS OF THORIZINE! NIGHT MARE GOES ON: I THEN PUT JIMMY IN A HOSPITAL CALLED CROSS ROADS IT WAS MOSTLY FOR OUT OF CONTROL KIDS BUT THE DR., DR. REMIS WAS SO GOOD WITH MY SON. HE DID NOT OVER OR MEDICATE JIMMY. HE FIRST PUT HIM IN LIGHT RESTRAINTS WHEN HE WAS OUT OF CONTROL. HE TESTED JIMMY AND FOUND THAT RITALIN IS ALL JIMMY NEEDED TO FUNCTION. THEN I GET A CALL SAYING I HAD TO TAKE JIMMY OUT CAUSE I RAN OUT OF INSURANCE. THE BILL WAS UP TO OVER $100,000. THIS WAS LIKE IN A THREE TO FIVE MONTH STAY. OK, NOW JIMMY IS HOME AND OH I LOVED HIM. BUT HE STILL HAD PROBLEMS. STILL RUNNING, I AM OUT OF WORK NOW NEED TO BE WITH JIMMY. SO, WE SLEPT ON FAMILIES OF HIS FATHERS FLOOR AND THEY HAD COCKROACHES AND BIG BEETLES RUNNING ALL OVER US. I WOULD WRAP MY LITTLE BOY UP IN BLANKETS LIKE A BABY TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM HIM. THEN ON TO MY FAMILY. BUT JIMMY COULD NOT STAY IN CONTROL. I HAD NO MONEY NO INSURANCE NO HELP. NOT EVEN RED CROSS BLUE CROSS WELFARE NO ONE WOULD HELP US. WE ARE GOING FROM LA TO SAN JOSE ALL THE TIME. I ONLY KNEW ONE THING. IF I COULD STAY ON THE ROAD AND KEEP JIMMY NEXT TO ME IN MY TRUCK HE WOULD NOT BE IN DANGER. WELL MONEY RUNS OUT TIME RUNS OUT. I GET A JOB AND THEN IT ALL HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN THE SYSTEM TAKES HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN. I FIGHT AND FIGHT FOR A BRAIN SCAM TEST. TOOK FIVE YEARS TO GET IT. I SET IT UP BUT THE DAY OF THE TEST THE DANG MACHINE MALFUNCTIONS. THE DOCTOR SAYS HE NEEDS TO GET A NEW ONE. THE JUDGE NEVER ORDERS IT. THE JUDGE NEVER LETS DR. REMIS TESTIFY, THE JUDGE NEVER ACKNOWLEDGES JIMMY’S ILLNESS.
ON TO CYA NOW. FIGHT, JIMMY STABS A KID. FIRST SIGN OF VIOLENCE. OH BY THE WAY JIMMY WAS ALWAYS MOSTLY IN SEG. AT 12 YEARS OLD UP. HE GETS WRITTEN UP WHILE INSIDE FOR OTHER CHARGES. LOTS OF EXAMPLES I HAVE DOCUMENTED. FALSE CHARGES ALSO I ALSO HAVE PROOF AND DOCUMENTATION. NOT THAT IT DOES ANY GOOD WITH OUT MONEY FOR A GOOD LAWYER. AFTER THE STABBING THEY TAKE JIMMY’S CONFESSION WITH OUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT OR WAIT FOR ME. NOW ON TO THE BIG HOUSE (PRISON AT AGE OF 18. PELICAN BAY : ABUSE AND SEG LANCASTER: LOTS OF ABUSE AND A SET UP. DOCTOR THERE EVEN PUT HIS JOB ON LINE TO GET JIMMY TO CMF THINKING THAT WOULD BE THE BEST TO HIM IN A FACILITY WITH MED UNIT AND SUCH. WRONG JIMMY WHILE AT LANCASTER IS CHARGED THEN WITH THE STABBING OF AN INMATE. HE WAS IN THE HOLE THEN AND THE INMATE EVEN TOLD THE COMMITTEE AND WROTE TO ME TELLING ME JIMMY DID NOT AND COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS. THEY CHARGE HIM ANYWAY. JIMMY HAS SPEARED I THINK A FEMALE GUARD AND HURT HER WITH NO MARKS BUT ANYWAY THAT DID IT. JIMMY WAS SO SCARED AND ABUSED THERE WHEN I WENT TO SEE HIM HE WAS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLE AND CRYING. THIS WAS UNUSUAL FOR MY SON. VACAVILLE: CMF LOTS OF ABUSE LOTS OF SET UPS and EVEN 11 POINT RESTRAINTS. YES ELEVEN. THEN MEDIA GETS IN ON IT. JIMMY IS CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF AN INMATE. HE HAS NO MEMORY OF IT. THEY CONVINCE HIM HE DID THIS. HE CONFESSES WITH OUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT. GOES TO TRIAL THAT WAS A FARCE FOR SURE. THE JURY TOOK THE WORD OF THREE LYING INMATES AND THREE LYING GUARDS ALL THAT HAD DIFFERENT STORIES OVER THREE PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS. THAT IS JUST A HINT OF WHAT HAPPENED THERE. KNOW THIS ALSO. NO INVESTIGATOR NONE THAT DID THEIR JOB AT ALL. LAWYER (STATE LAWYER: DID NOT DO HIS JOB AND I BELIEVE TOOK A DEAL. PROSECUTOR VERY GOOD WISH WE HAD HIM FOR A LAWYER. THE FAMILY OF THE VICTIM IN COURT AND HAS FILED WRONGFUL DEATH. JUDGE NOW THIS WAS KNOWN. ONE OF THE WORST JUDGES SAID TO BE. STATISTICS HAD IT ON THE WEB PAGE AT (www.thereporter.com) AS ONE OF THE WORST JUDGES. HE CAME IN SECOND TO THE BOTTOM IF NOT THE
BOTTOM IN ALL CATEGORIES. HE ALSO HATED JIMMY AND WAS SAID TO BE PREJUDICE TO JIMMY IN THE MEDIA. OK HOPE THIS HELPS : STILL FIGHTING FOR MY SON AND ALWAYS WILL. OH JUDGE GAVE MY SON 125 YEARS ON TOP OF HIS TEN. MARGIE AND JIMMY FOR FREEDOM AND JUSTICE!
JAMES DIESSO ABUSED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!
JIMMY WAS ONLY ELEVEN YEARS OLD WHEN THE SYSTEM TOOK HIM. HE WAS UNDER DOCTOR'S CARE TILL I RAN OUT OF INSURANCE. THE FIRST HOSPITAL I HAD PUT JIMMY IN ALMOST KILLED HIM. THEY WERE GIVING HIM 250 GRAMS OF THORIZINE! I THEN FOUND DR. REMIS AT CROSS ROADS HOSPITAL. HE IS THE ONE THAT CARED FOR MY SON AND HELPED US. JIMMY WAS ON HIS WAY OF LEARNING HOW TO LIVE WITH THE MEDICATION ( Ridalin) HE NEEDED. HE WAS PUT ON RIDILIN AND AMAZING AS IT WAS IT WAS WORKING FOR HIM. WHEN I HAD TO TAKE JIMMY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL I HAD NO MONEY NO HELP NOTHING. I TRIED TO GET HELP. NO ONE WOULD HELP. WELFARE TURNED US DOWN AND SO DID RED CROSS. THEN THE NIGHTMARE BEGAN! HE WAS A SICK LITTLE BOY! HE WAS ALSO A FRIGHTENED LITTLE BOY. THE VOICES FRIGHTENED JIMMY SO MUCH AND THIS IS WHAT MADE HIM RUN. I REMEMBER HOW JIMMY WOULD CALL ME INTO THE BATH ROOM WHEN HE WAS IN THE BATH TUB CRYING "MOMMY TALK TO ME PLEASE, MAKE THE VOICE GO AWAY! YOUR VOICE WILL MAKE THEM GO AWAY!" I WOULD HOLD MY SON AND ROCK HIM. TELLING HIM THAT IT WOULD BE ALL ALL RIGHT. I WAS WRONG! JIMMY WOULD RUN. HE WOULD CALL ME WHEN HE CAME OUT OF HIS BLACK OUT STATE SCARED AND FRIGHTENED. NOT KNOWING HOW HE GOT WHERE HE WAS. I ALREADY HAD MISSING REPORTS OUT ON MY SON. I REALLY THOUGHT THAT HE HAD BEEN KIDNAPED. WELL THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE ON MY PART. YOU THINK YOUR BEING A GOOD PARENT ASKING FOR THE HELP OF THE POLICE. WELL I LEARNED THIS IS NOT ALWAYS SO. I HAD TO TAKE JIMMY IN WHEN I FINALLY FOUND HIM AND THEY ARRESTED HIM. THEY TOLD ME OH HE WILL BE OUT REAL SOON IT IS JUST POLICY. WELL THAT WAS NOT TRUE. THE JUDGE DID NOT EVEN TAKE IN CONSIDERATION OF JIMMY'S ILLNESS. HE DID NOT BELIEVE IT. I HAD DOCUMENTATION AND DOCTORS WHO WOULD TESTIFY . THE JUDGES DID NOT EVEN WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM. THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT TO READ THE HOSPITAL RECORDS. THEY WANTED TO BELIEVE THE WORST
AND THAT IS JUST WHAT THEY DID AND THAT IS JUST HOW THEY SENTENCED HIM TIME AND TIME AGAIN. JIMMY GREW OLDER AND SICKER IN THE SYSTEM TILL ONE DAY WHILE HE WAS AT CYA JIMMY AND A BOY GOT INTO A FIGHT . JIMMY SHOWED HIS FIRST REAL SIGN OF VIOLENCE. HE STABBED THE BOY. THE BOY WAS SENT TO THE HOSPITAL. JIMMY WAS SENT TO PRISON! " THE BIG HOUSE" I WISH TO TAKE YOU BACK JUST A BIT. BEFORE JIMMY WAS SENT TO CYA AND HOW IT CAME ABOUT. AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN JIMMY'S DAD AND I FINALLY GOT JIMMY OUT OF THE HALL. HE HAD SPENT TIME AT CAMPS, BOYS HOMES, HALL AND SUCH ALL THIS TIME AND MOST OF ALL HE FAILED THEM ALL. HE ALSO SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN SEGREGATION. HE STILL WAS WITH OUT ANY MEDICATION. HE JUST WAS NOT ABLE TO WORK A PROGRAM OR SLEEP. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO ALL THESE PLACES HOW WITH OUT MEDICATION JIMMY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FUNCTION. NO ONE LISTENED AND WHEN I FOUND SOME ONE THAT DID CARE AND DID BELIEVE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. JIMMY HAD GROWN UP IN THE SYSTEM NOW. HE HAD ALL HIS CHILD HOOD DISEASED THERE. THE HALL GOT TO KNOW ME REAL WELL OF COURSE. THEY WOULD EVEN CALL ME AT TIMES TO COME HELP SETTLE JIMMY DOWN FROM TIME TO TIME. THE JUDGES WOULD ON THE OTHER HAND TELL ME TO GO ON WITH MY LIFE. YEA RIGHT I TOLD THEM! NEVERRRRRR! JIMMY IS MY LIFE AND HE DOES NOT BELONG IN HERE. WELL LIKE I SAID FINALLY AFTER MANY YEARS WE WERE ABLE TO GET JIMMY RELEASED BUT THE WORST OF THE WORST HAPPENED. JIMMY'S DAD AND I WERE GOING TO GET BACK TOGETHER AND RAISE JIMMY AND HELP HIM. JIMMY WAS ON OF THE HAPPIEST KIDS NOW WITH HIS DREAM ABOUT TO COME TRUE. (MOM AND DAD TOGETHER FINALLY AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS! WE WERE BOTH THEN IN BAD SITUATIONS. ME TEMPORARY LIVING WITH A FRIEND. MARK, JIMMY'S DAD ALSO TEMPORARY LIVING WITH A FRIEND. I ONLY HAD PART TIME WORK. MARK WOULD WATCH AND SPEND TIME WITH JIMMY WHEN I WORKED. MARK HAD BEEN ON DISABILITY FROM A TRUCK ACCIDENT SINCE JIMMY'S BIRTH SO HE DID NOT HAVE MUCH BUT WE WERE GOING TO FIND A WAY. JIMMY WAS STAYING WITH ME AT MY FRIENDS BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT THERE. JIMMY WAS TRYING REAL HARD TO HANG IN THERE. . THEN ONE DAY WE GET A CALL. MARK WAS IN THE HOSPITAL DYING. OH GOD THIS WAS SO UNEXPECTED. JIMMY LOST IT. HE TOOK CARS AND VIOLATED PROBATION. HE WAS NOW BACK IN. THIS IS WHEN THE JUDGE SENT HIM TO CYA. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN! THE STATE ATTORNEY PLEADED FOR JIMMY. THE JUDGE DID NOT CARE. HE WAS SO CRUEL AND UNCARING.
I HAD FOUGHT AND FOUGHT TO KEEP JIMMY OUT OF CYA. JIMMY AND I BOTH WERE SO FRIGHTENED OF HIM ONE DAY GOING THERE. WHAT WAS IT LIKE? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO HIM? WELL NOW WE BOTH UNDERSTOOD OUR FEARS! UNDERSTAND SOMETHING! WHILE YOU ARE INSIDE NO MATTER WHERE, MANY THINGS HAPPEN. YOU MIGHT BE SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS WHAT EVER BUT AS HARD AS YOU MAY TRY YOU CAN END UP PICKING UP CASE AFTER CASE. SOMETIMES IT IS SOMETHING YOU DID, MAYBE A STUPID THING, MAYBE SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO CHOICE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE JUST SET UP! ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED TO JIMMY FROM HALL TO THE BIG HOUSE! JIMMY IS NOW TWENTY NINE AND DOING 135 YEARS! FROM PELICAN BAY TO LANCASTER TO VACAVILLE TO FOLSOM TO PELICAN BAY NOW AGAIN. THE ABUSE AND TORTURES HE HAS LIVED ARE INCREDIBLE. HOW HE HAS SURVIVED ONLY GOD KNOWS. JIMMY HAS BEEN PUT IN ELEVEN POINT RESTRAINTS FOR SEVEN DAYS. YES, ELEVEN POINT. AND YES THEY CREATED THEM JUST FOR JIMMY! IT TOOK PRISON ACTIVIST AND THE MEDIA AND MY SELF TO GET HIM OUT OF THOSE KILLING MURDEROUS RESTRAINTS. JIMMY HAS BEEN MEDICALLY NEGLECTED SO BADLY HE HAD NO IDEA WHOM HE WAS OR WHERE HE WAS FOR WEEKS, AND MONTHS. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE WRONG DRUGS PURPOSELY TO ANGER HIM. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN DRUGS THAT NEARLY DESTROYED HIS LIVER AND GAVE HIM HEP C. IT TOOK OVER A YEAR TO GET HIM THE PROPER SHOTS TO HELP HIM WITH THE LIVER CONDITION. I HAVE TO SAY THROUGH ALL THE PRISONS TO ME VACAVILLE (CMF) IS ONE OF THE MOST CRUEL AND TORTUROUS PRISONS. THIS IS WHERE SOME OF THE MOST TORTUROUS TREATMENTS THAT JIMMY EVER HAD TO SURVIVE HAPPENED TIME AFTER TIME UNDER THE WARDEN ANA PALMER! JIMMY WAS ALSO PUT IN WHAT WE ALL CALL THE COLD ROOM TIME AND TIME AGAIN FOR DAYS TO WEEKS AT A TIME. THIS IS WHERE THEY PUNISH THE MENTALLY ILL FOR BEING ILL. THEY PUT THEM IN A COLD ROOM WITH NO CLOTHES, NO BLANKETS NO MATTRESS NOTHING AND ON TOP OF IT FOR A SPECIAL EFFECT FOR JIMMY NEXT TO A CELL WHERE THE PLUMBING IS BROKE AND THE HUMAN WASTE IS RUNNING INTO MY SON'S COLD CELL. WHEN JIMMY WOULD COMPLAIN THE GUARDS WOULD JUST
TELL HIM. WELL THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU END UP HERE. OH THEN THERE IS THE BROWN SPIDERS. OH YES. THEY ARE VERY POISONOUS. THEY WILL KILL YOU. JIMMY WAS BITTEN BY ONE OF THEM IN THE COLD ROOMS. THEY WOULD NOT GET HIM HELP. FINALLY DAYS AND DAYS LATER WHEN THEY FINALLY DID HE NEEDED TWO WEEKS OF SHOTS. HE ALMOST DID NOT LIVE THROUGH THAT ONE EITHER. OK NOW YOU SHOULD GET THE MESSAGE I AM SENDING TO YOU. A LOT OF INJUSTICE RIGHT. A LOT OF TORTURES! WELL YOU SHOULD WANT TO KNOW HOW JIMMY ENDED UP WITH 135 YEARS RIGHT. WHEN JIMMY WAS AT VACAVILLE AND OUT OF HIS MIND WITH NO MEDS NO HELP THIS IS WHEN IT HAPPENED YET I HAVE TO BE HONEST. I STILL AM NOT SURE IF IT IS MY SON THAT MURDERED THE INMATE. SEE, I RECEIVED LETTERS FROM OTHER INMATES BEFORE THE MURDER OF THIS INMATE. THE LETTERS ASKED ME TO PLEASE HELP JIMMY. HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND AND NO ONE WOULD HELP HIM OR GIVE HIM MEDIATION. ONE MAN SAID HOW HE WAS JIMMY'S FRIEND AND HE HAD TO MOVE OUT OF JIMMY'S CELL IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE. JIMMY WAS HALLUCINATING BAD AND WAS JUST TOTALLY OUT OF IT. COULD I PLEASE HELP HIM. I WOULD CALL AND ASK WHAT IS GOING ON? OH NOTHING IS WHAT I WOULD GET. JIMMY IS JUST ACTING OUT SO HE IS IN SEG RIGHT NOW AND CAN NOT HAVE VISITS. OK SO HIS FRIEND MOVES OUT RIGHT. THEN TELL ME HOW IT IS THAT JIMMY ENDS UP WITH THIS OTHER INMATE ON A DIFFERENT UNIT ONLY A FEW WEEKS OR SO AFTER ALL OF THIS AND WHY? THERE IS MUCH MORE TO ALL OF THIS. THE MEDIA WROTE A LOT ON IT. SOME OF IT TRUE SOME OF IT NOT. I WILL TELL YOU THIS MUCH : THE TRIAL WAS A FARCE. THE JUDGE HATED JIMMY AND SHOWED IT WITH NO CONCERN. JIMMY DID NOT EVEN NEED TO BE PRESENT THE CONVICTION AND SENTENCING OF 125 YEARS PLUS TEN WERE ALREADY MADE LONG BEFORE HE EVER SHOWED UP IN COURT. I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR MY SON. MARGIE AND JIMMY FOR JUSTICE AND FREEDOM! "PRISON'S ARE NOT HOSPITAL'S!" AT: http://www.thereporter.com/archivesearch YOU CAN TYPE IN JAMES
DIESSO (Range 2000 to 2002)AND FIND MANY ARTICLES. LIKE I SAID SOME ARE TRUE SOME ARE NOT. IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP MY SON PLEASE CONTACT ME. MOTHER OF JAMES DIESSO (MARGIE JUMP) MARGIE AND JIMMY FOR FREEDOM!
THE TRIAL OF JAMES DIESSO AFTER POSTPONEMENT AFTER POSTPONEMENT AND MANY THINGS LIKE NEW LAWYERS AFTER LAWYERS (PUBLIC DEFENDER TO STATE LAWYERS UNFORTUNATELY ALONG WITH NEW JUDGE WHICH WAS NOT MY SON’S WISH WE FINALLY HIT TRIAL. I KNOW NOW MY SON AND I DID NOT EVEN NEED TO BE PRESENT. THE JUDGE, PROSECUTOR, SO -CALLED LAWYER AND EVEN THE JURY YES THE JURY ALREADY HAD DECIDED THE OUTCOME! I LEFT THE DAY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE TRAIL SO I WOULD BE FRESH AND IN HOPE I COULD VISIT MY SON BEFORE THE MORNING OF THE TRIAL BUT THEY WOULD NOT LET ME. A LOT OF PREPARATION WENT INTO THE TRIAL FROM JUST MY SON AND MYSELF. THE CLOTHES HE WAS TO WEAR? WHAT THEY WOULD EVEN ALLOW HIM TO WEAR. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO LET HIM DRESS IN STREET CLOTHES BUT THE JUDGE FINALLY OK’ED A SUIT, SHOES AND SUCH. IT WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME MY SON WORE STREET CLOTHES IN TOO MANY YEARS TO COUNT. THIS WAS EXCITING TO MY SON. HE LOOKED GORGEOUS BY THE WAY I DO WISH THEY WOULD HAVE LET ME AT LEAST GET A PICTURE OF HIM BUT NO THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED EITHER. I HOPED THE JUDGE WOULD LET THE LAWYER TAKE THE PICTURE. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS TRIAL! I HAD NEVER BEEN TO A TRIAL BUT I KNOW THIS MUCH. THIS TRIAL WAS MOST UNUSUAL! JULY 23RD OF 2001 MY SON WALKED INTO THE COURT- ROOM WITH A LITTLE SMILE OF REASSURANCE ON HIS FACE FOR ME. I DID THE SAME FOR HIM BUT WE BOTH WERE SCARED TO DEATH. I HAD SPOKEN TO THE LAWYER A FEW TIMES EACH TIME BEFORE COURT AND FELT THAT THIS LAWYER WAS NOT TAKING THE SITUATION SERIOUS. I REMEMBER HIM SAYING TIME AFTER TIME NOT TO WORRY IT WOULD ALL COME OUT FINE. MY SON’S LAWYER (A STATE LAWYER) MR. CARL SPEAKERMAN WOULD SAY: “REMEMBER THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF THE TRIAL. WE STILL HAVE THE INSANITY PLEA AND I AM SURE THEY WILL FIND JIMMY INSANE AT THE TIME OF THE ACT! I HAVE THREE PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS TESTIFYING IN HIS BEHALF. “ I ASKED HIM ABOUT JIMMY’S INMATE WITNESSES AND GUARDS AND HE SAID NO NEED! NO ONE IS GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING THEY SAY AND THE ONES TESTIFYING AGAINST JIMMY WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT IS ALL A WASTE OF TIME. THE ONES TESTIFYING AGAINST JIMMY WAS ONCE THE ONES THAT WERE GOING TO TESTIFY ALSO IN JIMMY’S BEHALF BUT THE PROSECUTOR GOT TO THEM FIRST
CAUSE JIMMY’S SO CALLED INVESTIGATOR NEVER DID INVESTIGATE! THEY FINALLY HIRED A NEW INVESTIGATOR AT THE LAST MINUTE TOO LATE TO DO HIS JOB. BEFORE COURT LAWYER, CARL SPEAKERMAN SAID LOOK JIMMY WILL NOT GET THE DEATH PENALTY OR LIFE AND NO PAROLE IN OTHER WORDS THREE STRIKES. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE WAY THE LAW READ THE JUDGE COULD NOT DO THIS. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND BUT HOPED IT WAS THE TRUTH. I STILL DID NOT FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. I HAD HEARD AND SEEN WHERE SOME PRISONERS HAD RECEIVED TEN YEARS FOR THE DEATH OF AN INMATE AND I WAS HOPING FOR AT LEAST THAT BUT SECRETLY I HOPED THROUGH THIS WRONGFUL TRIAL THE TRUTH WOULD COME OUT AND FREE MY SON! (FAT CHANCE OF THAT) WELL I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND HOPED WITH ALL MY PRAYERS AND MANY OTHERS THAT HAD PRAYED FOR MY SON MAYBE JUST MAYBE GOD WOULD STEP IN AND PUT AN END TO THIS TORTUROUS LIFE MY SON HAD ENDURED! I AM ABOUT TO TAKE YOU FOR A WALK THROUGH THE TRAIL BUT ONE THING I WANT TO REMIND YOU ALL OF IS THIS: JAMES DIESSO, MY SON HAS AND HAD NO MEMORY OF THE DEATH OF JEFFERY FORD THAT HE WAS ACCUSED OF MURDERING. JIMMY DOES HAVE A PROBLEM CONFESSING TO MANY THINGS HE IS TOLD THAT HE DID! NOT KNOWING IF HE DID OR NOT. JUST A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE DEATH OF JEFFERY FORD JIMMY HAD BEEN ABUSED, TORTURED AND MEDICALLY NEGLECTED SEVERELY. I HAD RECEIVED LETTERS FROM OTHER INMATES PLEADING WITH ME TO FIND A WAY TO HELP JIMMY. HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE HIM HIS MEDICATION HE SO MUCH NEEDED. THEY KNEW WITH OUT THIS MEDICATION MY SON WOULD BE OUT OF HIS MIND AND HE WOULD HALLUCINATE ALL KINDS OF THINGS. ONE OF JIMMY’S FRIENDS THAT HAD BEEN SHARING A CELL WITH JIMMY HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CELL IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE CAUSE JIMMY WAS SO OUT OF IT. BUT AGAIN I WISH TO REMIND YOU THAT MENTALLY ILL INMATES SHOULD NOT BE HOUSED TOGETHER ANYWAY. ESPECIALLY THE ONES THEY CONSIDER DANGEROUS TO THEM SELVES AND OTHERS AND MY SON WAS CONSIDERED JUST THAT WITH OUT HIS MEDICATIONS. I HAD CALLED AND WRITTEN THE PRISON (THE WARDEN, ANA PALMER) ASKING WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY SON. I WOULD ONLY GET HE IS ACTING OUT AND SO HE IS IN SOLITARY FOR IT. NO, HE WAS PUT IN THE COLD-ROOM, AS I CALL IT. NO CLOTHES, NO BLANKET, MATTRESS NOTHING! THIS IS HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF THE ILL. THEY PUNISH THEM
FOR BEING SICK YET THEY MAKE SURE THEY HELP MAKE THEM SICKER AND MAKE THEM ACT OUT! I DON’T UNDERSTAND SICK, CRUEL PEOPLE THAT GET A KICK OUT OF HURTING THE SICK, TORTURING THEM IN SUCH INHUMANE WAYS. THESE ARE THE SO-CALLED GUARDS THAT ARE WATCHING OVER YOUR LOVED ONES IF YOU ARE UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A LOVED ONE IN PRISON! THESE ARE THE DERANGED ONES DOING STRIP SEARCHES ON OUR LOVED ONES. THESE ARE THE SICK JERKS THAT OUR LOVED ONES HAVE TO ANSWER TO DAY TO DAY! THESE ARE THE SICK CREEPS THAT TESTIFIED AND LIED IN COURT AGAINST MY SON YET COULD NOT EVEN GET THEIR STORIES STRAIGHT! I WILL ALSO BE ADDING PUBLISHED PAGES FROM THE MEDIA FOR YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT. SOME ARE IN DEFENSE FOR MY SON, SOME ARE SLAUGHTERING HIM. REMEMBER BLOOD STORIES SALE MORE TO THE PUBLIC THAN A STORY OF AN INNOCENT MAN OR A STORY OF A GRAVE INJUSTICE DONE. YET, THEY DID WRITE OF SOME OF THE INJUSTICE DONE TO MY SON SO FOR THIS I AM GRATEFUL. THEY DID EXPLOIT ANA PALMER A FEW TIMES AND THE JUDGE: KINNICUT FOR THIS I AM MOST GRATEFUL EVEN IF THEY ARE STILL WORKING AS JUDGES OR WARDENS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA! SO AT THIS TIME I WISH TO THANK AT LEAST THE REPORTER IN VACAVILLE CALIFORNIA FOR LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE SIT AS JUDGE AND AS WARDENS. IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA TO GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THE POSITIONS THEY ARE IN. I FOR ONE HOPE TO BE OF HELP TO DO JUST THAT! IF WE CAN VOTE OUT BAD POLITICIANS, BAD LAWS, and BAD JUDGES AND ON AND ON WE COULD REBUILD OUR SYSTEM WITH PRIDE! REMEMBER ALSO: PRISONS ARE NOT HOSPITALS!
(CALABASAS CALIFORNIA) WHERE THEY ALMOST O.D.ED HIM ON MEDS. THEN ASKED ME TO TAKE HIM OUT CAUSE HE WAS TO HARD TO HANDLE. WHEN HIS AUNT AND I WOULD VISIT HE COULD NOT EVEN TALK HE WAS SO MEDICATED. HE TRIED TO CALL ME AT HOME BUT HE COULD NOT TALK. I WOULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL THEY SAID IT WAS NECESSARY AND I NEEDED TO LET THEM DO THEIR JOB. THEN ONE NIGHT THEY ALL ME ASKING ME TO COME TAKE HIM TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCY CARE FOR JIMMY IT WAS A WEEK END AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A DOCTOR ON STAFF. :( GERRRRRRRRR I TOOK HIM AND FOUND OUT HE HAD BEEN OVER MEDICATED. THEY HAD BEEN GIVING HIM 250 GRAMS OF THORIZINE! NIGHT MARE GOES ON: I THEN PUT JIMMY IN A HOSPITAL CALLED CROSS ROADS IT WAS MOSTLY FOR OUT OF CONTROL KIDS BUT THE DR., DR. REMIS WAS SO GOOD WITH MY SON. HE DID NOT OVER OR MEDICATE JIMMY. HE FIRST PUT HIM IN LIGHT RESTRAINTS WHEN HE WAS OUT OF CONTROL. HE TESTED JIMMY AND FOUND THAT RITALIN IS ALL JIMMY NEEDED TO FUNCTION. THEN I GET A CALL SAYING I HAD TO TAKE JIMMY OUT CAUSE I RAN OUT OF INSURANCE. THE BILL WAS UP TO OVER $100,000. THIS WAS LIKE IN A THREE TO FIVE MONTH STAY. OK, NOW JIMMY IS HOME AND OH I LOVED HIM. BUT HE STILL HAD PROBLEMS. STILL RUNNING, I AM OUT OF WORK NOW NEED TO BE WITH JIMMY. SO, WE SLEPT ON FAMILIES OF HIS FATHERS FLOOR AND THEY HAD COCKROACHES AND BIG BEETLES RUNNING ALL OVER US. I WOULD WRAP MY LITTLE BOY UP IN BLANKETS LIKE A BABY TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM HIM. THEN ON TO MY FAMILY. BUT JIMMY COULD NOT STAY IN CONTROL. I HAD NO MONEY NO INSURANCE NO HELP. NOT EVEN RED CROSS BLUE CROSS WELFARE NO ONE WOULD HELP US. WE ARE GOING FROM LA TO SAN JOSE ALL THE TIME. I ONLY KNEW ONE THING. IF I COULD STAY ON THE ROAD AND KEEP JIMMY NEXT TO ME IN MY TRUCK HE WOULD NOT BE IN DANGER. WELL MONEY RUNS OUT TIME RUNS OUT. I GET A JOB AND THEN IT ALL HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN THE SYSTEM TAKES HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN. I FIGHT AND FIGHT FOR A BRAIN SCAM TEST. TOOK FIVE YEARS TO GET IT. I SET IT UP BUT THE DAY OF THE TEST THE DANG MACHINE MALFUNCTIONS. THE DOCTOR SAYS HE NEEDS TO GET A NEW ONE. THE JUDGE NEVER ORDERS IT. THE JUDGE NEVER LETS DR. REMIS TESTIFY, THE JUDGE NEVER ACKNOWLEDGES JIMMY’S ILLNESS.
ON TO CYA NOW. FIGHT, JIMMY STABS A KID. FIRST SIGN OF VIOLENCE. OH BY THE WAY JIMMY WAS ALWAYS MOSTLY IN SEG. AT 12 YEARS OLD UP. HE GETS WRITTEN UP WHILE INSIDE FOR OTHER CHARGES. LOTS OF EXAMPLES I HAVE DOCUMENTED. FALSE CHARGES ALSO I ALSO HAVE PROOF AND DOCUMENTATION. NOT THAT IT DOES ANY GOOD WITH OUT MONEY FOR A GOOD LAWYER. AFTER THE STABBING THEY TAKE JIMMY’S CONFESSION WITH OUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT OR WAIT FOR ME. NOW ON TO THE BIG HOUSE (PRISON AT AGE OF 18. PELICAN BAY : ABUSE AND SEG LANCASTER: LOTS OF ABUSE AND A SET UP. DOCTOR THERE EVEN PUT HIS JOB ON LINE TO GET JIMMY TO CMF THINKING THAT WOULD BE THE BEST TO HIM IN A FACILITY WITH MED UNIT AND SUCH. WRONG JIMMY WHILE AT LANCASTER IS CHARGED THEN WITH THE STABBING OF AN INMATE. HE WAS IN THE HOLE THEN AND THE INMATE EVEN TOLD THE COMMITTEE AND WROTE TO ME TELLING ME JIMMY DID NOT AND COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS. THEY CHARGE HIM ANYWAY. JIMMY HAS SPEARED I THINK A FEMALE GUARD AND HURT HER WITH NO MARKS BUT ANYWAY THAT DID IT. JIMMY WAS SO SCARED AND ABUSED THERE WHEN I WENT TO SEE HIM HE WAS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLE AND CRYING. THIS WAS UNUSUAL FOR MY SON. VACAVILLE: CMF LOTS OF ABUSE LOTS OF SET UPS and EVEN 11 POINT RESTRAINTS. YES ELEVEN. THEN MEDIA GETS IN ON IT. JIMMY IS CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF AN INMATE. HE HAS NO MEMORY OF IT. THEY CONVINCE HIM HE DID THIS. HE CONFESSES WITH OUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT. GOES TO TRIAL THAT WAS A FARCE FOR SURE. THE JURY TOOK THE WORD OF THREE LYING INMATES AND THREE LYING GUARDS ALL THAT HAD DIFFERENT STORIES OVER THREE PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS. THAT IS JUST A HINT OF WHAT HAPPENED THERE. KNOW THIS ALSO. NO INVESTIGATOR NONE THAT DID THEIR JOB AT ALL. LAWYER (STATE LAWYER: DID NOT DO HIS JOB AND I BELIEVE TOOK A DEAL. PROSECUTOR VERY GOOD WISH WE HAD HIM FOR A LAWYER. THE FAMILY OF THE VICTIM IN COURT AND HAS FILED WRONGFUL DEATH. JUDGE NOW THIS WAS KNOWN. ONE OF THE WORST JUDGES SAID TO BE. STATISTICS HAD IT ON THE WEB PAGE AT (www.thereporter.com) AS ONE OF THE WORST JUDGES. HE CAME IN SECOND TO THE BOTTOM IF NOT THE

ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED TO JIMMY FROM HALL TO THE BIG HOUSE! JIMMY IS NOW TWENTY NINE AND DOING 135 YEARS! FROM PELICAN BAY TO LANCASTER TO VACAVILLE TO FOLSOM TO PELICAN BAY NOW AGAIN. THE ABUSE AND TORTURES HE HAS LIVED ARE INCREDIBLE. HOW HE HAS SURVIVED ONLY GOD KNOWS. JIMMY HAS BEEN PUT IN ELEVEN POINT RESTRAINTS FOR SEVEN DAYS. YES, ELEVEN POINT. AND YES THEY CREATED THEM JUST FOR JIMMY! IT TOOK PRISON ACTIVIST AND THE MEDIA AND MY SELF TO GET HIM OUT OF THOSE KILLING MURDEROUS RESTRAINTS. JIMMY HAS BEEN MEDICALLY NEGLECTED SO BADLY HE HAD NO IDEA WHOM HE WAS OR WHERE HE WAS FOR WEEKS, AND MONTHS. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE WRONG DRUGS PURPOSELY TO ANGER HIM. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN DRUGS THAT NEARLY DESTROYED HIS LIVER AND GAVE HIM HEP C. IT TOOK OVER A YEAR TO GET HIM THE PROPER SHOTS TO HELP HIM WITH THE LIVER CONDITION. I HAVE TO SAY THROUGH ALL THE PRISONS TO ME VACAVILLE (CMF) IS ONE OF THE MOST CRUEL AND TORTUROUS PRISONS. THIS IS WHERE SOME OF THE MOST TORTUROUS TREATMENTS THAT JIMMY EVER HAD TO SURVIVE HAPPENED TIME AFTER TIME UNDER THE WARDEN ANA PALMER! JIMMY WAS ALSO PUT IN WHAT WE ALL CALL THE COLD ROOM TIME AND TIME AGAIN FOR DAYS TO WEEKS AT A TIME. THIS IS WHERE THEY PUNISH THE MENTALLY ILL FOR BEING ILL. THEY PUT THEM IN A COLD ROOM WITH NO CLOTHES, NO BLANKETS NO MATTRESS NOTHING AND ON TOP OF IT FOR A SPECIAL EFFECT FOR JIMMY NEXT TO A CELL WHERE THE PLUMBING IS BROKE AND THE HUMAN WASTE IS RUNNING INTO MY SON'S COLD CELL. WHEN JIMMY WOULD COMPLAIN THE GUARDS WOULD JUST
TELL HIM. WELL THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU END UP HERE. OH THEN THERE IS THE BROWN SPIDERS. OH YES. THEY ARE VERY POISONOUS. THEY WILL KILL YOU. JIMMY WAS BITTEN BY ONE OF THEM IN THE COLD ROOMS. THEY WOULD NOT GET HIM HELP. FINALLY DAYS AND DAYS LATER WHEN THEY FINALLY DID HE NEEDED TWO WEEKS OF SHOTS. HE ALMOST DID NOT LIVE THROUGH THAT ONE EITHER. OK NOW YOU SHOULD GET THE MESSAGE I AM SENDING TO YOU. A LOT OF INJUSTICE RIGHT. A LOT OF TORTURES! WELL YOU SHOULD WANT TO KNOW HOW JIMMY ENDED UP WITH 135 YEARS RIGHT. WHEN JIMMY WAS AT VACAVILLE AND OUT OF HIS MIND WITH NO MEDS NO HELP THIS IS WHEN IT HAPPENED YET I HAVE TO BE HONEST. I STILL AM NOT SURE IF IT IS MY SON THAT MURDERED THE INMATE. SEE, I RECEIVED LETTERS FROM OTHER INMATES BEFORE THE MURDER OF THIS INMATE. THE LETTERS ASKED ME TO PLEASE HELP JIMMY. HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND AND NO ONE WOULD HELP HIM OR GIVE HIM MEDIATION. ONE MAN SAID HOW HE WAS JIMMY'S FRIEND AND HE HAD TO MOVE OUT OF JIMMY'S CELL IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE. JIMMY WAS HALLUCINATING BAD AND WAS JUST TOTALLY OUT OF IT. COULD I PLEASE HELP HIM. I WOULD CALL AND ASK WHAT IS GOING ON? OH NOTHING IS WHAT I WOULD GET. JIMMY IS JUST ACTING OUT SO HE IS IN SEG RIGHT NOW AND CAN NOT HAVE VISITS. OK SO HIS FRIEND MOVES OUT RIGHT. THEN TELL ME HOW IT IS THAT JIMMY ENDS UP WITH THIS OTHER INMATE ON A DIFFERENT UNIT ONLY A FEW WEEKS OR SO AFTER ALL OF THIS AND WHY? THERE IS MUCH MORE TO ALL OF THIS. THE MEDIA WROTE A LOT ON IT. SOME OF IT TRUE SOME OF IT NOT. I WILL TELL YOU THIS MUCH : THE TRIAL WAS A FARCE. THE JUDGE HATED JIMMY AND SHOWED IT WITH NO CONCERN. JIMMY DID NOT EVEN NEED TO BE PRESENT THE CONVICTION AND SENTENCING OF 125 YEARS PLUS TEN WERE ALREADY MADE LONG BEFORE HE EVER SHOWED UP IN COURT. I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR MY SON. MARGIE AND JIMMY FOR JUSTICE AND FREEDOM! "PRISON'S ARE NOT HOSPITAL'S!" AT: http://www.thereporter.com/archivesearch YOU CAN TYPE IN JAMES

THE TRIAL OF JAMES DIESSO AFTER POSTPONEMENT AFTER POSTPONEMENT AND MANY THINGS LIKE NEW LAWYERS AFTER LAWYERS (PUBLIC DEFENDER TO STATE LAWYERS UNFORTUNATELY ALONG WITH NEW JUDGE WHICH WAS NOT MY SON’S WISH WE FINALLY HIT TRIAL. I KNOW NOW MY SON AND I DID NOT EVEN NEED TO BE PRESENT. THE JUDGE, PROSECUTOR, SO -CALLED LAWYER AND EVEN THE JURY YES THE JURY ALREADY HAD DECIDED THE OUTCOME! I LEFT THE DAY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE TRAIL SO I WOULD BE FRESH AND IN HOPE I COULD VISIT MY SON BEFORE THE MORNING OF THE TRIAL BUT THEY WOULD NOT LET ME. A LOT OF PREPARATION WENT INTO THE TRIAL FROM JUST MY SON AND MYSELF. THE CLOTHES HE WAS TO WEAR? WHAT THEY WOULD EVEN ALLOW HIM TO WEAR. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO LET HIM DRESS IN STREET CLOTHES BUT THE JUDGE FINALLY OK’ED A SUIT, SHOES AND SUCH. IT WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME MY SON WORE STREET CLOTHES IN TOO MANY YEARS TO COUNT. THIS WAS EXCITING TO MY SON. HE LOOKED GORGEOUS BY THE WAY I DO WISH THEY WOULD HAVE LET ME AT LEAST GET A PICTURE OF HIM BUT NO THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED EITHER. I HOPED THE JUDGE WOULD LET THE LAWYER TAKE THE PICTURE. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS TRIAL! I HAD NEVER BEEN TO A TRIAL BUT I KNOW THIS MUCH. THIS TRIAL WAS MOST UNUSUAL! JULY 23RD OF 2001 MY SON WALKED INTO THE COURT- ROOM WITH A LITTLE SMILE OF REASSURANCE ON HIS FACE FOR ME. I DID THE SAME FOR HIM BUT WE BOTH WERE SCARED TO DEATH. I HAD SPOKEN TO THE LAWYER A FEW TIMES EACH TIME BEFORE COURT AND FELT THAT THIS LAWYER WAS NOT TAKING THE SITUATION SERIOUS. I REMEMBER HIM SAYING TIME AFTER TIME NOT TO WORRY IT WOULD ALL COME OUT FINE. MY SON’S LAWYER (A STATE LAWYER) MR. CARL SPEAKERMAN WOULD SAY: “REMEMBER THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF THE TRIAL. WE STILL HAVE THE INSANITY PLEA AND I AM SURE THEY WILL FIND JIMMY INSANE AT THE TIME OF THE ACT! I HAVE THREE PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS TESTIFYING IN HIS BEHALF. “ I ASKED HIM ABOUT JIMMY’S INMATE WITNESSES AND GUARDS AND HE SAID NO NEED! NO ONE IS GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING THEY SAY AND THE ONES TESTIFYING AGAINST JIMMY WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT IS ALL A WASTE OF TIME. THE ONES TESTIFYING AGAINST JIMMY WAS ONCE THE ONES THAT WERE GOING TO TESTIFY ALSO IN JIMMY’S BEHALF BUT THE PROSECUTOR GOT TO THEM FIRST
CAUSE JIMMY’S SO CALLED INVESTIGATOR NEVER DID INVESTIGATE! THEY FINALLY HIRED A NEW INVESTIGATOR AT THE LAST MINUTE TOO LATE TO DO HIS JOB. BEFORE COURT LAWYER, CARL SPEAKERMAN SAID LOOK JIMMY WILL NOT GET THE DEATH PENALTY OR LIFE AND NO PAROLE IN OTHER WORDS THREE STRIKES. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE WAY THE LAW READ THE JUDGE COULD NOT DO THIS. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND BUT HOPED IT WAS THE TRUTH. I STILL DID NOT FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. I HAD HEARD AND SEEN WHERE SOME PRISONERS HAD RECEIVED TEN YEARS FOR THE DEATH OF AN INMATE AND I WAS HOPING FOR AT LEAST THAT BUT SECRETLY I HOPED THROUGH THIS WRONGFUL TRIAL THE TRUTH WOULD COME OUT AND FREE MY SON! (FAT CHANCE OF THAT) WELL I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND HOPED WITH ALL MY PRAYERS AND MANY OTHERS THAT HAD PRAYED FOR MY SON MAYBE JUST MAYBE GOD WOULD STEP IN AND PUT AN END TO THIS TORTUROUS LIFE MY SON HAD ENDURED! I AM ABOUT TO TAKE YOU FOR A WALK THROUGH THE TRAIL BUT ONE THING I WANT TO REMIND YOU ALL OF IS THIS: JAMES DIESSO, MY SON HAS AND HAD NO MEMORY OF THE DEATH OF JEFFERY FORD THAT HE WAS ACCUSED OF MURDERING. JIMMY DOES HAVE A PROBLEM CONFESSING TO MANY THINGS HE IS TOLD THAT HE DID! NOT KNOWING IF HE DID OR NOT. JUST A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE DEATH OF JEFFERY FORD JIMMY HAD BEEN ABUSED, TORTURED AND MEDICALLY NEGLECTED SEVERELY. I HAD RECEIVED LETTERS FROM OTHER INMATES PLEADING WITH ME TO FIND A WAY TO HELP JIMMY. HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE HIM HIS MEDICATION HE SO MUCH NEEDED. THEY KNEW WITH OUT THIS MEDICATION MY SON WOULD BE OUT OF HIS MIND AND HE WOULD HALLUCINATE ALL KINDS OF THINGS. ONE OF JIMMY’S FRIENDS THAT HAD BEEN SHARING A CELL WITH JIMMY HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CELL IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE CAUSE JIMMY WAS SO OUT OF IT. BUT AGAIN I WISH TO REMIND YOU THAT MENTALLY ILL INMATES SHOULD NOT BE HOUSED TOGETHER ANYWAY. ESPECIALLY THE ONES THEY CONSIDER DANGEROUS TO THEM SELVES AND OTHERS AND MY SON WAS CONSIDERED JUST THAT WITH OUT HIS MEDICATIONS. I HAD CALLED AND WRITTEN THE PRISON (THE WARDEN, ANA PALMER) ASKING WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY SON. I WOULD ONLY GET HE IS ACTING OUT AND SO HE IS IN SOLITARY FOR IT. NO, HE WAS PUT IN THE COLD-ROOM, AS I CALL IT. NO CLOTHES, NO BLANKET, MATTRESS NOTHING! THIS IS HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF THE ILL. THEY PUNISH THEM
FOR BEING SICK YET THEY MAKE SURE THEY HELP MAKE THEM SICKER AND MAKE THEM ACT OUT! I DON’T UNDERSTAND SICK, CRUEL PEOPLE THAT GET A KICK OUT OF HURTING THE SICK, TORTURING THEM IN SUCH INHUMANE WAYS. THESE ARE THE SO-CALLED GUARDS THAT ARE WATCHING OVER YOUR LOVED ONES IF YOU ARE UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A LOVED ONE IN PRISON! THESE ARE THE DERANGED ONES DOING STRIP SEARCHES ON OUR LOVED ONES. THESE ARE THE SICK JERKS THAT OUR LOVED ONES HAVE TO ANSWER TO DAY TO DAY! THESE ARE THE SICK CREEPS THAT TESTIFIED AND LIED IN COURT AGAINST MY SON YET COULD NOT EVEN GET THEIR STORIES STRAIGHT! I WILL ALSO BE ADDING PUBLISHED PAGES FROM THE MEDIA FOR YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT. SOME ARE IN DEFENSE FOR MY SON, SOME ARE SLAUGHTERING HIM. REMEMBER BLOOD STORIES SALE MORE TO THE PUBLIC THAN A STORY OF AN INNOCENT MAN OR A STORY OF A GRAVE INJUSTICE DONE. YET, THEY DID WRITE OF SOME OF THE INJUSTICE DONE TO MY SON SO FOR THIS I AM GRATEFUL. THEY DID EXPLOIT ANA PALMER A FEW TIMES AND THE JUDGE: KINNICUT FOR THIS I AM MOST GRATEFUL EVEN IF THEY ARE STILL WORKING AS JUDGES OR WARDENS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA! SO AT THIS TIME I WISH TO THANK AT LEAST THE REPORTER IN VACAVILLE CALIFORNIA FOR LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE SIT AS JUDGE AND AS WARDENS. IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA TO GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THE POSITIONS THEY ARE IN. I FOR ONE HOPE TO BE OF HELP TO DO JUST THAT! IF WE CAN VOTE OUT BAD POLITICIANS, BAD LAWS, and BAD JUDGES AND ON AND ON WE COULD REBUILD OUR SYSTEM WITH PRIDE! REMEMBER ALSO: PRISONS ARE NOT HOSPITALS!
