COUNTY OF REEVES
Living ot i
© hereby solecMiy swear:
1, was errested on July 23, 1975, by the
Reeves County Sheriff's Departsent under the direct
supervision of Chief Deputy Gary Ingram. At no time durirz
this errett was I inforned that I hac certain rights as
an arrested person, nor did anyone et anytine tell me
vhat those rights were.
Daring ry inprisonnent on the 3rd floor of the jail,
Iwas placed in a cell with four toilets, none of which
worked. Blankets were not furnished for the bunxs, ané
the single shower which was provided was in filthy
condition.
Sherif? Nai2 denied us meals on at least 2 occasions. In
ell, I wes fed two tizes in 30 hours.
I wes required to fill out a Reeves County Arrest Fora
which asked inforaction, such as service in armed forces,
schools attended, and nomes of immediate family menbers,
weich I consider to be private and irrelevant to an arrest.
@wo ren with me, Jesus Luna and Benigno Pena, were isolated
in @ separate cell because they refused to fill out these
forms.
*# Ceguty, whose nexe I did not kmow then ané do not
know now, was asked way we were denied breaxfast. He
replied, " If you want to ect like animals, we'll treat
you like animals." This was because we had yelled, *Huelga!"
