Stop The Medical Neglect Of Mumia Abu-Jamal

The Issue

Correct Care Solutions (CCS) is a medical contractor based in Tennessee. CCS is the medical contractor and provider of medical services at SCI Mahanoy in Frackville, Pennsylvania- the prison where Mumia is being housed.

Mumia Abu-Jamal was recently seen by his wife and his condition has worsened. He is gravely ill and medically neglected! Mumia is suffering from uncontrolled diabetes and a minimum of 9 described complications.  The American Diabetes Association Describes complications - click here: Complications Of Diabetes Are Deadly

According to his wife, Mumia is extremely swollen in his neck, chest, legs, and his skin cracking with with open sores. He was not in a wheelchair, but can only take baby steps. He is very weak. He was nodding off during the visit (A sign of very high or very low blood sugar levels). He was not able to eat- he was fed with a spoon. Wadiya Jamal's Interview on Mumia's Grave Illness

He requires 24 hour care and is being medically neglected by private contractor Correct Care Solutions, CCS Website and the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.

 We, the undersigned, demand that CCS upholds their fiduciary duties to provide effective and efficient medical treatment to Mumia Abu-Jamal #AM8335. We further demand that CCS allow Mumia's doctor(s) to treat him. CCS and the state of Pennsylvania are committing an execution by medical neglect. We demand that the medical neglect of Mumia Abu-Jamal as a prisoner in the state of Pennsylvania cease and desist. This practice is criminally illegal, medically negligent, morally and ethically wrong.
