LAST TWO WEEKS

Since Courtney was unable to call or use a computer she had to actually write a letter in order to communicate with us. The first letter we received she complained that she was still not receiving her medications and it was starting to affect her. At that point we decided to hire an attorney to meet with her and do what he could to help her get her medications faster. I found one online that I liked - he had been educated in South Africa and had also gone to school here and he had worked in the District Attorney's office for a while before becoming a defense attorney. By the time he was able to get into see Courtney she had finally been given her medication. However, his visit was the highlight of her day and he gave her some very good advice. It did give us peace of mind to know that she was really alright and we now had a lawyer to call if she needed one. As Courtney's new lawyer told me - "the treatment of inmates in the Phoenix prison system is an embarrassment because it is so bad."
