PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS

Accountability for Jail and Prison Abuse.

Being incarcerated does not mean giving up your basic human rights. At Wertheimer Fleder LLP, we represent individuals who have been harmed while in custody—whether by correctional officers, facility staff, or through systemic neglect. We bring claims against city jails, state prisons, and private facilities for failing to protect the people in their care.

Holding Facilities Accountable.

Jails and prisons have a legal duty to keep those in their custody safe. When correctional staff abuse their power—or fail to act when harm occurs—we step in. Our firm handles a range of cases involving abuse, medical neglect, and dangerous conditions behind bars.

  • Physical abuse by correctional staff

  • Failure to provide necessary medical care

  • Sexual abuse or harassment

  • Inmate-on-inmate violence due to staff negligence

  • Excessive use of solitary confinement

  • Inhumane or dangerous conditions of confinement
