Abstract:

Following months of protests over allegations of inhumane treatment of prisoners at the Durham County Detention Facility, the National Institute of Corrections toured the jail in late April to interview prisoners and staff members, and recommend improvements. A two-day report states that jail conditions have improved, but critics claim the report is superficial and neglects recommendations to provide mental health services.
