Re: Lack of Medical Care

2008 Legal Program - Prisoners' Rights

Pending without litigation

The ACLU of Kentucky routinely receives complaints about prisoners who are unable to obtain needed (sometimes urgently needed) medical care in prison or jail. We have responded through letter writing and advocacy, reminding prison and jail officials of their legal obligation to provide for prisoners’ physical and mental health care. Thus far, we have had some success in getting inmates the medical attention they need.
