Q: In Nv, is there anything that can stop or halt the moving of a prisoner based on the facts of discrimination by facility
He's been segregated in solitaire confinement by the NORTHERN NV CORRECTIONAL CENTER based on his health status and sexual orientation and discriminated against now for about 8.5 months. I contacted the facility after the DOJ stepped in and advised them that an attorney would be contacting them because what they are doing is wrong and since the treatment has gotten worse. He is now being moved about 6 hours away from his HIV/aids specialists from a medium security prison in solitaire confinement to a maximum security prison in solitaire confinement with 23 hour lockdown with no access to his Dr's. Facility mental health workers and case workers have advised against this due to his mental status as well as health status being HIV+ and needing to be close to his Dr's. He needs at minimum to stay where he is located based on this and I'm curious if there is any way to send a grievance or motion to stop or halt this process as I feel it too is based in discrimination. Thanks.
A: Contact the Nevada Civil Liberties Union, and ask to speak with one of their "cooperating attorneys" for prison issues. They give free consults.
