Health care for prisoners with disabilities, medical conditions, or mental health problems is sometimes very poor or nonexistent in Nebraska jails and prisons.
ACLU Nebraska intervenes several times a month on behalf of prisoners, jail inmates, and pre-trial detainees who need basic life-saving medical attention or prescription medication. Sometimes the inmate needs something as basic as their asthma inhaler or their insulin. Sometimes the inmate is in dire need of access to mental health care and medication. Sometimes the need is to accommodate a physical disability by repairing a wheelchair or allowing an inmate who is deaf to have their hearing aids. We work constantly to bring these needs to the correctional facility's attention. We issued a report in 2003 on the problems we've seen--click here to read more details.
