NC-CURE (Citizens United for Restorative Effectiveness) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) grassroots prison advocacy organization established in 2007, and staffed by volunteers. Our primary purpose is to advocate against all forms of inhumane treatment of incarcerated people. People in prison often lack basic human needs such as sanitary living conditions, basic medical care and medications, access to fresh air and exercise, and communication with loved ones. NC-CURE calls attention to inhumane conditions one person and one prison at a time. We also work to address systemic issues that adversely impact the conditions of confinement in prisons, recidivism, and public safety. Our members, staff, and volunteers believe that those who are incarcerated should receive all the resources they need to turn their lives around and be productive members of society.
