$10,000 Paid in WA Chaining to Fence and Beating Suit
Shelton Correctional Center prisoners Timothy Griswald, Ricky Renteria, and
Anthony Holland filed suit in the Western District of Washington federal
court alleging they were chained to a fence and beaten several times. One
incident lasted over eight hours, and such beatings and chainings became a
regular practice at Shelton. Holland also alleged a guard threw a bucket of
urine on him. On March 20, 1995, the prisoners agreed to settle the suit by
dividing $10,000 amongst themselves. They were represented by Barbetta
Ralphs and Alton White, Jr. of Tacoma, Wa. See: Holland v. Reed, USDC WD
WA, Case no. C85-1110B, unpublished.
