Report an Issue

Thank you for reporting an issue affecting a person who is still incarcerated. The CCC will compile this information to provide a more accurate picture of the harms of being jailed. Information reported to the CCC -- such as the specific jail facility, the time period, and the kind of issue -- may be shared with advocates, journalists, and lawmakers. But the CCC will always keep your name, your contact information, and the names of incarcerated people confidential. 

You will have the option to request that the CCC mail a Grievance Packet to the regional jail so that the person behind bars has information about how to submit a grievance.

We strongly encourage incarcerated people to make use of the grievance process, which you can learn more about here. If an incarcerated person does not file a grievance within the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR), they may lose their ability to file a lawsuit over jail conditions. For incarcerated people who want to protect their right to file a lawsuit, they must file a grievance within DCR and complete the process through final decision and appeal.
