Recent data released by the city Department of Corrections (DOC) indicated that the agency failed to facilitate 39,728 medical appointments for incarcerated New Yorkers from Jan. 1 to April 30, 2022, with 11,789 appointments in April alone.
The Legal Aid Society said in its report about the data that it was another sign that the city’s correctional facilities are facing a humanitarian crisis, with several inmates dying in custody within the past year.
