HOME ADDRESSES OF GOVERNMENT OFFICERS IN CALIFORNIA
court officer (attorney at law) Katherine Violet Alexander, 2006apr13
Bar Number 59070; Address 11600 Summit Wood Ct, Los Altos Hills, CA 94022; Phone Number (650) 948-5567; Fax Number (650) 948-7596.
She has been a teacher in a government university.
KATHARINE V ALEXANDER , 11600 SUMMIT WOOD CT (on a dead end street near Tepa Way, south of Foothill College; 04/06/2004), LOS ALTOS, Santa Clara county, CA 94022-4500. (650) 948-5567.
She may no longer be practicing law.
To try to persuade a client into lying to the court that he was guilty of a felony, she said that, in exchange for such a statement from him, she could arrange for him to promptly get out of jail (but on probation instead). She implied that the amount of time incarcerated was importanat. The truth is that, for most defendants with no previous criminal record who are convicted of a felony for the first time (for example, the client to whom she spoke), at least 99% of the harm resulting from that felony conviction occurs after incarcertion ends. As bad for the defendant as jail and prison are, they pale in comparison to the harm (resulting from being convicted of a felony) that most defendants experience after incarceration (harm imposed by a variety of sources). For most people (with a clean criminal record prior to prosecution) who are being prosecuted for a felony for the first time, it is misleading to say to them that, if they say in court that they are guilty of the alleged crime, that their lawyer can negotiate an arrangement by which their incarceration will end soon after that statement. The statement to the defendantt was an attempt to mislead because, for someone (with a clean ecord prior to being prosecuted) who is convicted of a felony for the fist time, jail and prison are a trivial part of the punishment that results from the conviction. Nevertheless, this statement, said as part of an attempt to mislead, is what Katherine Alexander said to at least one client. For the kind of defendant described above, the prosecutor offers a trivial incentive to the defendant to say he's guilty, because only a trivial part of the punishment consists of the incarceration. If Alexander had been truthful to her client, she would have told the client that he should insist on trial because, among other reasons, there was only a trivial advantage to his saying that he was guilty. She unsuccessfully tried to betray the client.
She was insubordinate. She flagrantly refused and defied some of her fundamental obligations as the client's agent; for example, she made explcitly clear that she (not the client) decided whether there would be a trial. A client complained about this insubordination to the court. As a result, she was replaced (for that client only) by a different public defender, and someone from the public defender's office apologized to the client for her misconduct.
After she was replaced, she chatted in a courtroom with another lawyer about the client of whom she had been replaced as lawyer. The other lawyer in the chatting had no involvement with the client. In the chatting, which was just social small talk between two lawyers, Alexander disclosed privileged, confidential, attorney-client information that was unethical for her to disclose. Her manner of speech and choice of words showed that her disclosure was not done negligently but was done in contemptuous disregard of her duty of confidentiality to her former client, whom she looked at as she chatted.
Few criminal defense lawyers in Santa Clara county are qualified to offer an opinion as to whether it is better for a specific defendant to be in Santa Clara county jail or California state prison. However, this does not stop the unethical ones among them from offering an opinion to clients. Prison might be better for one client but jail might be better for another. Often a Santa Clara county public defender tells his client that a proposed plea bargain carries with it a benefit to the client: the client will do his time in county jail rather than in state prison.
In general, prisoners find it much harder to be a prisoner in Santa Clara county jail than in California's state prisons. There are reasons for this.
In California state prison, if a prisoner works, he gets paid. A prison prisoner who works gets out of prison early, he gets paid a tiny amount of money (about a dime an hour), and he may get small, fringe benefits closely related to the work he does. As far as we know, in Santa Clara county jail, some prisoners (including some who have not been convicted of a crime) work for free (for example: doing janitorial work such as washing walls, sinks, toilets, doors, and windows; and sweeping and mopping floors) because they are compelled to. Forcing someone to work can be slavery (admittedly a dramatic word), which as far as we know can be a felony unless lawfully imposed on someone convicted of a crime as part of his court-ordered punishment. Some janitorial work by jail prisoners is done for free. Some janitorial work is done for a pittance (for example: extra food and privileges). For example, some jail windows are cleaned by prisoners who get paid nothing. Other jail windows are cleaned by prisoners who get paid with food (for example, an extra meal tray of food) and other privileges. Paradoxically, those county jail prisoners who work for free have no choice; those who get a pittance are invited to work for that pittance.
Consider two prisoner-employees doing identical work: one in state prison, the other in Santa Clara county jail. The one in prison is covered by worker's compensation. The one in county jail isn't, as far as we know.
Although we are not expert in prisoner rights, we guess that the right to jail a prisoner (because he cannot afford to pay bail, for example) does not include the right to enslave the prisoner. The government may jail him but not force him to work in jail, we guess. By the way, police sometimes may briefly detain someone for questioning, a procedure which is not an arrest. We are under the impression, which may be wrong, that a brief detention may last up to twenty-four hours. We guess that police have no right to force a detained person to wash walls or toilets while he's detained. As far as we know, a court may require a criminal defendnat to be present in a courthouse for hearings of his case but may not force him to do custodial work or other work in the courthouse. Santa Clara county is too cheap to hire free people to voluntarily do janitorial work in jail. The jail staff uses its power to force any prisoners it wants to work, including unconvicted prisoners, to work. The right to jail a person does not include the right to force him to work (much less, to work for free) in the jail, as far as we know.
In any event, the difference in treatment of prisoner-employees is an example of the better treatment received by state prison prisoners compoared to Santa Clara county jail prisoners.
We've never done a systematic study of this topic to compare California state prisons to Santa Clara county jail. Below, we report two incidents.
Once, in a room in a California state prison, a prisoner supposedly was severely beaten by other prisoners. An employee investigated. He seemingly questioned every person was, or might have been, in the room in that time. Each interrogation was done in a room in which the only two people present were the questioner and the questionee. The questioning was done in a reasonably comfortable room. The quentioning room was not a tiny, uncomfortable room with a conspicuous window to allow employees in an adjacent room to look in. The investigator seemed to have common sense and a sincere desire to find out what had happened.
Once in Santa Clara county jail, a C.O. was lying on his back on a floor. A prisoner was on him, punching his face. A second prisoner conspicuously stood nearby, silently watching. He was not the only witness-prisoner. C.O.s came, pulled the puncher off and took him away. As the prisoner-puncher was taken away, he briefly said the cause of the violence. That witness-prisoner continued to watch. No one ever asked that witness-prisoner anything about the prisoner-C.O. punching. If there was an investigation, that witness-prisoner was left out. Maybe none of the witness-prisoners were questioned. Even if there's not going to be a prosecution (a somewhat unlikely assumption when a C.O. is punched in the face by a prisoner), it's important to investigate violence in jail.
It's better to be imprisoned in state prison, where the staff tries to investigate violence and reports of violence, rather than Santa Clara county jail, where investigations either are not done or are done amazingly incompetently.
As far as we know, a Santa Clara county jail prisoner has to serve his full sentence in jail. By contrast, many prison prisoners get out of prison early on parole. Many prison prisoners work there. As far as we know, for every two days worked in prison, a prisoner gets out one day early. Many defendants, if told that many prison prisoners get back on the street without having to serve their full sentence in prison, would immediately ask their lawyer to try to arrange state prison time instead of county jail time. For many defendants (especially those with prior convictions), this consideration (getting back on the street as soon as possible) outweighs all other considerations.
In Santa Clara County jail and in state prisons, there are prisoner hearings although the staff does not use the word "hearing". For example, the staff can conduct a hearing before punishing a prisoner or to allow a prisoner to explain why he should prevail on a grievance. In Santa Clara County jail, hearings are brief (a few minutes, several minutes), highly casual (an officer walks over to a prisoner and briefly discusses the matter as both people stand near each other), and can be held at any time. A state prison (as distinguished from county jail) hearing can be held as prisoner and officer sit at a table, allowing them to comfortably refer to any papers they have with them. Some prison hearings are conducted by an officer who is not part of the prison staff but comes from Sacramento for that hearing. A jail prisoner can be woken in the middle of the night, then immediately have a hearing (for example, be accused of something wrong and asked what his explanation is) as he stands sleepy beside his bed. As far as we know, state prisoners are never woken, then told that their hearing is now beginning.
Once at a Santa Clara County jail middle-of-the-night hearing, the just-woken prisoner immediately objected to his hearing being in the middle of the night. A uniformed, white, male officer who was present (but not the white, female officer who was presiding) said with a straight face that they (there were a few officers present) thought that the prisoner would appreciate the time. The hearing was conducted while other prisoners slept nearby. Maybe the hearing woke some of them. The brief hearing ended without anyone saying to the prisoner that the hearing was over, that he was forbidden to speak any more, or that he could go back to sleep. The prisoner spoke. A uniformed staff member lifted the prisoner, then slammed him on a nearby, hard, wooden, horizontal surface. Later, the prisoner went to a jail doctor for back pain. We are not aware of anti-prisoner violence at state prison hearings. As far as we know, state prison hearings are not conducted in a prisoner's sleeping quarters. As far as we know, when a state prisoner is summoned to go to a hearing in his prison, the hearing is in a conference room or office.
A flaw of both jail and prison hearings is lack of notice of when the eharing shall begin. Suddenly, prisoners are told that a hearing shall begin more or less immediately. When a prisoner is told is now going to begin, he can be far from his sleeping place, which is where the papers (for example, notes of applicable law) are that he intends to use at the hearing. Prisoners have no opportunity to get their hearing papers. Furthermore, prisoners have no oppurtunity to refresh their memories of what is in their notes. Prisoners should get at least three hours advance notice of when a hearing shall begin. For example, if a hearing shall begin at noon, the prisoner should be told not later than nine in the morning that he shall have a hearing at noon.
There are rumors that state prison is more dangerous than Santa Clara county jail. We guess that the rumors are wrong. If the rumors are right, we guess that they are right chiefly for prison prisoners who are at high risk for violence, for example, prisoners who:
Consider an NMF (non-medical fight: a fight between two prisoners in which neither requires medical care after the fight). In Santa Clara county jail, if C.O.s find out about an NMF, the usual reaction is to briefly chat about it as they might about a professioanl boxing bout: did either fighter show admirable skill?, who won?, and so forth. No written record is made. Usually, the prisoners are not separated from each other. Once, a C.O. and a prisoner walked through the jail together. A prisoner in a cell splashed a liquid onto the C.O. and prisoner walking by. Much more of the liquid landed on the C.O. than on the prisoner. The liquid smelled like urine. The two kept walking. They said nothing about what had happened except that the C.O. told the prisoner to submit a grievance about the incident. The prisoner obeyed. He submitted a grievance. Later, the prisoner asked what the jail's response was to the grievance. He was told that the staff had no record of any such grievance. In a prison (not jail), two prisoners had an NMF. They were immediately seaprated from each other so that they could not fight again. Soon after, one of them was transferred to anothe prison. These anecdotes are examples of an important difference between Santa Clara county jail and prison: prison does more than jail to try to prevent violence, jail does more than prison to prevent and destroy written evidence of violence. By the way, neither jail nor prison normally handles an NMF as a crime. If two free people seem to have an NMF, a police officer might give them a ticket or even arrest them for a misdemeanor. If two prisoners have an NMF, there will be no misdemeanor ticket, arrest, or prosecution.
Consider an outstanding doctor practicing medicine in a rural village. He owns his practice. Owning his own practice is a nuisance. He likes to treat patients, not shop for insurance, collect bills from patients, or check references of job applicants. He doesn't make much money in his village. What's worse, the village's population is declining. His income is gradually declining. One day, he gets a letter from a hospital in a big city (maybe Houston or Chicago). The hospital offers him a job paying twice what he now earns. Furthermore, he'll just treat patients. It's unlikely that he'll write to the hospital that there's more violent crime in Chicago than in his village, and he doesn't want to be injured, so he's turning down the offer. If he turns down the offer, it won't be because he's concerned about being injured in Chicago because there's more violent crime there. Even if prison's more dangerous than jail, the difference is too small to justify missing the substantial benefits of prison.
