Two years ago, Jericho DeChicchis walked into jail healthy and able bodied. Today, he finds himself wheelchair bound, struggling with severe spinal problems that have drastically affected his quality of life. Jericho's story is one of concern, neglect, and injustice, and it is time we rally together to demand better for him.

Jericho has been suffering from a herniated disc and arthritis of the spine, conditions that require urgent and continuous medical attention. Despite the severity of his health issues, there are alarming reports suggesting that he may not be receiving the necessary evaluation and treatment. Access to adequate physical therapy is crucial for Jericho, yet it remains uncertain whether he has been provided with these services.

One of the most distressing aspects of Jericho's case is the question of whether his medical records accurately reflect his injuries and the treatments he has received. This lack of clarity and transparency not only hinders his ability to receive the care he needs but also raises serious questions about his treatment while in custody.

Jericho's advocate outlines several critical concerns:
- His reported herniated disc and spinal arthritis, which remain inadequately addressed.
- His prolonged inability to walk, which poses further risks to his overall health.
- Limited or potentially nonexistent access to physical therapy and rehabilitation.
- The need for a comprehensive evaluation of his medical condition by impartial healthcare professionals.
- Concerns over whether his medical records accurately document his health status and the care he has received.

We cannot allow Jericho to suffer in silence any longer. It is essential that we speak out and demand justice and appropriate medical care for him. This is not just about one man; it is about ensuring that all individuals in the custody of the justice system receive humane and adequate healthcare.

By signing this petition, you are joining a collective voice calling for a thorough review of Jericho's medical treatment, an investigation into his care while incarcerated, and immediate action to ensure he receives the treatment he so desperately needs. Stand with us as we fight for Jericho's right to live with dignity and the possibility of recovery. Sign this petition and help us make a difference. He’s being offered 25 to life, because they pressed charges after assaulting him.

Jericho DeChicchis went into incarceration able to walk. Today, he is wheelchair bound, living with a herniated disc and spinal arthritis. His supporters allege that this transformation followed an assault by correctional officers, and that he has not received adequate medical care or physical therapy. The original charges that led to his arraignment in Westmoreland County stemmed from events in Clarion County, and according to his supporters the Clarion County charges were ultimately resolved in his favor. We are not asking the public to determine guilt or innocence. We are asking for the evidence including video footage, medical records, and incident reports to be fully reviewed. How does someone enter jail walking and leave confined to a wheelchair? That question deserves a full, fair, and independent answer. If you believe, every person deserves due process, humane treatment, access to necessary medical care, and accountability when serious allegations arise, please sign and share this petition. Help Jericho DeChicchis’s case receive the transparency, fairness, and attention it deserves before his upcoming court proceedings.
