The Legal Aid Society, Brooklyn Defender Services, and Milbank LLP today filed a contempt motion against the New York City Department of Correction (DOC) for their continued failure to provide incarcerated New Yorkers’ access to medical care, resulting in thousands of missed medical appointments and dangerous situations for people in custody. These delays and outright denials of access to care lead to unnecessary pain, worsening of treatable conditions, and immense suffering for incarcerated people.
