inmate

Arthur Calloway, co-vice-chair of the Civilian Oversight Commission, asked at the October meeting whether the sheriff’s department could be trusted to investigate inmate claims against its own employees.

He was relocated there after he was stabbed by a fellow inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi earlier this year.

The doctors talked with Fischgrund about the threat before communicating with correctional staff, who could have removed the inmate or taken steps to protect Fischgrund, according to the complaint.

He was also attacked by a fellow inmate earlier this year, who stabbed him 14 times, causing two collapsed lungs and wounds to his back, torso, head and face.

He was also stabbed 14 times by another inmate in May this year, and a convicted killer was named as a suspect in the attack.
