The Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project sent a letter expressing serious concern over the lack of proper medical care being provided to a woman incarcerated at SCI Muncy. Our client, Lucinda Andrews, has suffered from serious ulcers and fluid build-up in her legs for several years due to untreated diabetic neuropathy and poorly controlled diabetes. Even after failing to effectively manage her diabetes and causing her to develop unnecessary complications, SCI Muncy staff have provided little medical care to treat the ulcers or prevent amputation until recently. As a result of the delays in care, Ms. Andrews now lives in extreme pain and requires the care of outside specialists and pain management. PILP seeks intervention in Ms. Andrews’ medical care to ensure that she receives comprehensive and timely treatment for her neuropathy, leg ulcers, and resulting pain. Read the full letter below:
