Inmate Grievance Systems

An inmate grievance system is a structured process that allows prisoners to formally raise concerns or complaints about their treatment, conditions, or safety while in custody. It provides a way for inmates to seek resolution without confrontation, ensuring their issues are documented and addressed appropriately. Typically, inmates submit written grievances to designated staff, who review and respond based on established policies. This system promotes accountability, fairness, and improved conditions within correctional facilities by ensuring inmate feedback is heard and acted upon in an orderly and systematic manner.
