McGowan Family Fund

The Mc Gowan Family

Robert McGowan is a former California Correctional Officer who worked at the California Institution for Men in Chino. In 2002 he and several other officers were accused of brutality by several gang members. The inmate’s own descriptions of McGowan didn’t match him physically. Cleared of wrongdoing by internal affairs and the District Attorney, he was railroaded by the US Attorney’s Office–He is currently serving a 51 month federal prison term. A Supreme Court Appeal is his only hope now.

As we stand with Robert, we must help keep his young family while he is away. Please join Paco Villa in supporting Raine McGowan and her 2 young children by sending 5, 10, 20 or more via a PayPal Accountset up for that purpose.

If you already have a PayPal account, you can send cash directly to Raine’s account using the email address: “[email protected].” Select the “Send Money” tab and then be certain to select the “Personal” tab on that page–Doing so prevents PayPal from charging the 3% fee. I suggest you check “Other” or “Living expense” just in case selecting “gift” or “cash advance” could have tax implications for the family.

If you do not have a PayPal account, PLEASE take a few minutes to sign up. It is free and secure.
