Eric McDavid's Commissary Cut Off
Your help needed...
Hello everyone,
We learned this afternoon that the Sacramento County Jail has now cut off Eric's commissary. When they brought the inmates their weekly orders today, Eric's order was not delivered to him. He checked the lists to see if he had any money in his account, and his name was not even on the list. Since the jail stopped bringing Eric vegan meals, commissary was his only opportunity, however limited, to get a few more dietary essentials than what he pulls off his trays. Now the only food Eric will be receiving is the bread and fruit that he can pull from the trays they bring him. This blatant attack on Eric's health on the eve of his trial is an outrageous attempt to put his right to due process in jeopardy. Please act now - call the jail and demand that they begin feeding him vegan meals - again.
Jail: 916.874.6752
Please make sure that you have Eric's x-reference number handy in case they ask for it: x-2972521
And trial starts tomorrow. . . Please keep Eric in your hearts and minds as he begins this leg of his journey.
Yours,
SPS

I called and went through the various hoops to reach the administration, which is apparently who cuts off this sort of access to vegan diet and commissary (according to the folks at Inmate Information). I left my complaint, though I was told that the Captain Scott Jones was not in today. He will apparently be in tomorrow but he doesn't really take calls.
So his receptionist says to write to him. Seems like a stalling tactic, but I'll write in addition to calling back tomorrow.

If anyone has any further advice on reaching these folks, do post.
