- NC-CURE worked with the US DOJ to bring awareness to the abuse taking place behind prison walls to the mentally ill, disabled, and chronically ill. As a result, NCDPS implemented an ADA policy that included inmate accommodation, mental health training for prison staff, and limited use of solitary confinement for disabled people.
- NC-CURE advocates have worked hard to improve best practices among medical staff and promote education among prisoners regarding the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases. We asked for improved policy and treatment for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) for those prisoners who qualify and are willing to accept therapy.
- NC-CURE has been vigilant in speaking with facilities that do not have central air conditioning, making sure staff are doing all they can to provide extra fans and fresh water and ice.
