Standing up for inmates constitutional rights

The Issue

   It has been brought to my attention of the unfair cruelty inmates have been suffering and receiving within the NDOC  facility walls. Concerns of violent interactions between correctional officers and inmates, nutritional dietary , hygiene & cleanliness  and unjust punishments .  
The likely hood of an inmate getting sick or loosing there lives incarcerated has been more likely for an individual within the justice system then it would be for them free on the streets. Inmates are not receiving the help they need to transition from incarceration to the streets. No real form of rehabilitation are being offered to inmates with longer sentences and more serious crimes which is very concerning and raises red flags because the statistics of that inmates likely hood to reoffend stays high if not higher when they are released. There are fathers/mothers inside missing important parts of there children’s lives as they grow up without them and  they’re still not receiving the proper training/ education on how to transition to come home one day and be that father/mother to that child because the system has failed to rehabilitate and correct that inmate while incarcerated. Time changes, laws changes, the world is steady changing , people change , friends and family are dying , children are being born all while that inmate , that human, that person sits in isolation away from reality. Inmates whom are eligible for parole are being denied over and over and over again for the same reasons as if to charge a man 2, 3 times (double jeopardy) for the same crime or issue. They deny them then call them back in 6 months and deny them again for the same reason they denied them for prior, yet there is no room for growth being offered within the prison for them to be granted. It’s a slap in the face to that inmate and the friends and family that has been supporting the inmate. There are inmates who have been in solitary confinement other words known as the “hole” for a very unconstitutionally long time.  
   It’s time for change within the NDOC it’s time to raise awareness of how the justice system is failing on its part to make the world a better place.  Like Doctors have a duty to save lives, the Department of Corrections have a Duty to “CORRECT AND REHABILITATE” inmates and save future lives. Inmates are people not animals and deserve an equal opportunity at a second chance.
