How does the NCDAC address inmate healthcare?

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NCDAC) prioritizes the well-being of inmates by offering comprehensive healthcare services. This approach ensures that inmates receive not only emergency medical care but also ongoing healthcare, routine check-ups, mental health support, and treatment for various chronic conditions.

The emphasis on comprehensive healthcare reflects a commitment to the overall welfare of inmates, recognizing that good health is crucial for rehabilitation and reintegration into society. By including mental health services and substance abuse treatment within a broader healthcare framework, NCDAC aims to address the diverse needs of the prison population effectively. This holistic approach helps reduce recidivism and supports inmates in leading healthier lives upon their release.
