We, the undersigned, demand that the North Carolina Health Department conduct a thorough inspection of the federal detention facility FCI Butner in Butner, NC, to determine if NC residents working at this facility are being endangered by the deteriorating and dilapidated conditions that include black mold, brown water, foundation leakage, ceiling crumbling and recently collapsing, causing large sections of ductwork to crash to the floor.

These conditions are a danger to the residents of NC who work there, and a danger to their families.

The North Carolina Department of Health must assert it's authority to ensure the safety of North Carolina residents and demand that the Bureau of Prisons either rectify these dangerous conditions immediately, or close the facility until it can become safe, and must compensate NC residents employed by the facility that could be displaced by the closure for any lost work or relocation.

Not to mention that people actually live in that place. Not safe for work or as a home.

No inmate should be subjected to these inhumane conditions. Every person is made in the image of God and deserves a certain level of dignity.

The physical conditions at this NC facility are dangerous and constitute cruel and unusual punishment that must be addressed. This is a federal as well as a state responsibility.

There should be a serious investigation of this detention center’s toxic and dangerous living/working conditions. No one should undergo such exposure, in a 1st-world, US taxpayer -supported correction facility.

The Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, NC, a federal facility, is in dangerous disrepair. Black mold, crumbling ceilings, toxic water, leakage, sewage issues as well as a recent incident where the ductwork in a large area crashed to the ground, putting inmates and workers at risk, as well as worker's families. We are demanding the NC Health Department inspect the building,for work safety of the NC residents who work there, and demand the federal government rectify the dangerous conditions or close the facility and compensate the workers affected by such a closure.

Black mold can seriously damage the lungs and has been known to be a cause of death.
