PILP Sends Advocacy Letter Demanding Mental Health Care Treatment for Woman Incarcerated at SCI Muncy

The Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project (PILP) has sent an advocacy letter regarding a woman with extreme mental health care needs who has been incarcerated at SCI Muncy since approximately 2014. In reviewing her medical records, conversations with her and her daughter, as well as our observations of her during meetings, PILP expressed serious concerns about her medical treatment at SCI Muncy. PILP seeks immediate action to improve her care by implementing a care plan which fully takes into account her serious medical and mental health conditions. PILP says these changes are necessary and required under both the Eighth Amendment and the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”). Read the full letter here.
