I am a member of The Little Church In the Pines in Bass Lake, CA.I belong to the Prison Outeach program.I have a inmate atthe Corcoran Prison facility that has many medical disabilities.. he has had a portion of his brain removed and has had neck surgery. he is being forced to do jobs he is incapable of doing and his pleas to the warden or other staff are ignored. is there an Attorney that will help him if I furnish them with his name and what history I have about him? I have emailed several attorney offices and told them it would be pro bono unless a settlement of sorts is obtained but this man is in need of some help and has no family. Is there someone you can refer me to to help him? I have not even received a courtesy email in answer to my inquiry for help. I can forward his letters to you about his situation. He is Hispanic and is not able to read or write English. Other inmates read his mail to him and write for him. He is severely impaired. Could you please respond as soo as possible to help or refer me to someone that might help him.

I don't think there is any way for people to help him. Since you know him per haps you and your church can contact the prison and talk for him on his behalf
