Recommendations for North Carolina Prison Reforms
A Raleigh report outlines proposals to overhaul the state prison system. Key ideas include state control of all sentenced prisoners, abolition of county jails except for detainment, dedicated matrons for women’s wards, stricter per prisoner health exams, uniform diets, and abolition of corporal punishment. The plan calls for new funding, tighter inspections, and prisons operating with productive industries to boost income.
