Use continuation sheet if needed): On February 25. 2004. while I was working in the Disciplinary Segregation Unit. I reviewed a letter written by inmate Russell Courtier if I 2065508. Inmate Courtier is a documented affiliate of European Kindred. a Security Threat Group. The letter is postmarked February 3. 2004- The recipient of the letter. Inmate is also a documented af?liate of European Kindred. In the letter. Inmate Courtier makes reference to getting something ?done.? On September 23. 2003. I issued Inmate Courtier a misconduct report for Unauthorized Organization for a drawing he had in his possession. The drawing was a shield with the letters in it. The shield symbol is used commonly symbol of European Kindred. The symbol is commonly found tattooed to the calf of individuals af?liated with European Kindred. When I interviewed Inmate Courtier in September. he indicated that he had not yet received his shield tattoo. but that he did intend to get one. He admitted to me that the drawing I had con?scated was. in fact. a tattoo pattem. Upon a physical search of Inmate Courtier. I did not ?nd an shield tattoo anywhere on his body. After reading the letter that Inmate Courtier had sent to inmate it occurred to me that Inmate Courtier was referring to the "El-t" shield tattoo when he wrote. got my shit dune. Remember what i needed to get dune. looks good to." I contacted Captain R. McGraw and requested that he interview Inmate Courtier to ?nd out if he had indeed received his shield tattoo. Captain Mth-aw did interview Inmate Courtier and found that Inmate Courtier had received the tattoo. During the interview. Inmate Courtier stated that he had received the tattoo nine months ago. This statement is false. When Inmate Courtier left Segregation on October 3. 2004. he did not have the "Eli" shield tattoo. Inmate Courtier was placed in Segregation for violating rule Contraband II on November 20. 2004. Inmate Courtier was found to be in possession items of contraband. including a make-shift tattoo gun. extra ink. and other items related to tattooing. No documentation was made at that time regarding any new tattoos found on Inmate Courtier. As of February 25.2004. there is no indication that Inmate Courtier had an shield anywhere on his body prior to this date.
