Good Morning! Happy Monday! 

Josh (JDub) has been in jail for a week today. We are working towards getting his bond reduced because it is impossible to come up with $14,000 cash bond. 

We have been in contact with Lana with J-Town Press. 

Here is the link to her YouTube video.

Josh is being mistreated in the jail.

He is being withheld medical care. 

He is sleeping on the floor because of his injuries he has asked for a bunk bed and they have refused. 

He also has been told he can't contact his lawyer through the kiosk at the jail he has to pay for the call. 

 

We need your help please go to this video and call the mayor, the solicitor, the city council members and anyone else on the list. 

 

Thanks for your support
