In-depth article about Charlie's case, by Ronald DuPont

In the High Springs Herald...

Having not eaten since Sunday night, Alachua political activist Charlie Grapski sat in a jail cell interview room Thursday and made allegations of mistreatment by police and of inadequate medical treatment or no treatment at all inside the county jail.

With multiple black bruises on his arms, a 2-inch cut on his face and sleepy, red eyes, Grapski sat in a locked room at the Alachua County jail and spoke with High Springs Herald Editor Ronald Dupont Jr., who sat on the other side of a steel grate.

At least four times during the interview, Grapski stopped talking, stared partway at the ceiling and lost track of time until Dupont called his name.

Update from Jessica in the comments:

FYI, I called the jail and you can put money in Charlie's account with a credit card, so he can buy things in the jail store, by calling this number: 1-888-277-2535
