This is an ongoing project, that
involves educating the prisoners on the project, receiving their documents,
scanning them and documenting them on Excel sheets, and uploading the documents
with the annotations onto the website. The documents have been used to discuss
with the Director of the NDOC the patterns of abuse, the people who commit
abuses and what NDOC plans to do to stop these from occurring. This material
can also be used as research material for press, attorneys, students and other
researchers as well as family, friends and the human rights defense community. These
documents reflect hundreds of hours of work by NV-CURE volunteers and reflect
our interest in educating the public on events transpiring behind NV prison
fences.
NV-Cure keeps the documents as an
archive of abuses, which can also be used when necessary, if the Special
Litigation Unit of the DOJ needs to have insight into the abuses occurring in
the Nevada Department of Corrections prisons.
Please help support NV-CURE in these
efforts with your tax free donations to our organization - and keep this
project alive. Thank you.
