North Carolina Prison staffer sounds alarm on solitary confinement, overcrowding
A prison so packed that people on suicide watch are sleeping in 5-by-5-foot holding cages. A disabled Vietnam veteran sent to segregation after his peers attacked him. Incarcerated people spending months in solitary confinement, not because of misconduct inside the prison, but because they’re waiting for a bed to become available elsewhere.
These were among the conditions of confinement described by a prison employee in an email shared with NC Newsline.
