The Honorable Mayor Federal District Judges. DOJ Civil Rights Office of the Mayor City of Indianapolis 200 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46204
Subject: Civil Rights Violations and Inhumane Treatment at Indianapolis Jail and Public Discrimination
Dear Mayor & Indianapolis Leaders I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding several grave concerns about the treatment of inmates, as well as issues of public discrimination affecting vulnerable individuals in Indianapolis, including myself and a close friend of mine, Mr. Robert George Bowen.
As an American citizen, I believe it is crucial to address these matters not only for myself and my friend but also for the broader community, ensuring that we all have access to the fundamental rights afforded to us by the U.S. Constitution. The following points outline the key concerns I have encountered:
1. Inhumane Treatment and Violation of Civil and Constitutional Rights at the New Jail: The conditions at the new jail facility are deeply troubling. Inmates are being treated inhumanely, with insufficient regard for their health, safety, and dignity. This treatment, I believe, violates both civil and constitutional rights.
2. Homeless Inmate Placed on House Arrest in Local Extended Stay Hotel: A homeless inmate was recently placed on house arrest while staying at a local extended stay hotel, which raises concerns about the conditions and the adequacy of such arrangements.
3. Inadequate Communication by Deputies at the New Jail: Deputies at the new jail have demonstrated a lack of proficiency in English, which is causing significant barriers to effective communication. Moreover, they are failing to properly identify themselves, which is concerning from a legal and safety standpoint.
4. Failure to Address PREA Complaints: The jail staff have ignored multiple complaints filed under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). This lack of response puts inmates at risk and undermines trust in the system designed to protect them.
5. Gender Discrimination in Sentencing: Judge James Osborne has been giving disproportionately lighter sentences to male inmates, particularly releasing them from house arrest earlier than their female counterparts. This pattern raises serious concerns regarding fairness and gender-based discrimination.
6. Medical Negligence and Retaliation: While incarcerated, I experienced seizures due to improper administration of my medication, a medical condition I had never encountered before. When I spoke out about this issue, I was retained by officers in an unjust manner, which I believe was retaliation for asserting my rights.
7. Discrimination Against Mr. Robert George Bowen: Mr. Robert Bowen, a close friend and disabled individual who is blind in one eye and has limited dexterity in his hands, has been subjected to consistent discrimination.
He has been repeatedly mistreated by public transportation staff, who have left him stranded at bus stops and denied him rides.
This behavior constitutes a violation of his civil rights, as he depends on public transportation to navigate the city.
I respectfully request that your office and relevant authorities investigate these matters thoroughly to ensure that civil rights are being upheld in Indianapolis, particularly within the new jail system and in public spaces such as transportation. The individuals involved—myself, Mr. Bowen, and others—deserve to live with dignity, free from discrimination, neglect, and abuse.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss these matters further.
I can be reached by email at natisha.lax.v88@gmail.com or by phone at (317) 286-8241.
Thank you for taking the time to review this serious issue. I look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Natisha Vernelle Lax
