NC-CURE CALL-A-THON

PLEASE HELP, PRISONERS IN NC DOC ARE STARVING AND SUFFERING

Dear Representative,



Please act now; North Carolina Legislation is now preparing to pass a State Budget that will affect over 40,000+/- incarcerated men and women who have no public VOICE. Prison corruption is ramped; prisoners are starving and suffering from malnutrition. The elderly are dyeing left to lie in their own feces. The mentally ill our being abused, the chronically ill have been denied treatment of infectious disease and medication to sustain lives. Prisoners are kept in dorms without air-conditioning, while temperatures exceed 90 degrees inside. NC DOC records department, over the inmate (OPUS system) has modified thousand of records forcing inmates to remain in prison past their minimum sentences, earned from good time credits. We want you to know that slavery is thriving in the South, off the sweat equity of thousands in imprisoned here. Please show some human compassion?.. please hear their cry!

Inmate trust accounts are charged excessively for unwarranted write-ups being issues to inmates.



Abusive use of solitary confinement without inmate due process and review of the amount of time inmates are forced to stay in confinement.



Inmates have limited access to jobs, programs and education, denying them the opportunity to earn (good time) credits and reach their minimum sentences.
