Where do you report inmate neglect?

What is done about inmate neglect depends on the type of inmate neglect. "You do the crime, you serve the time." By law, the inmate was informed about the Federal Civil Rights law. He can send a description of his problems to a Federal Judge for free. He can write it out. If the Federal Judge thinks he has a problem, then the Federal Judge will appoint someone to investigate. Oh, so your friend was not paying any attention when they told him that? So your friend refuses to follow established procedures? No wonder he is in the clink!
