The Society for the Rights of Man writes to formally notify you of ongoing concerns regarding CoreCivic’s continued non-compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act, and constitutional obligations owed to inmate Anthony Hill, a documented and severely mentally disabled individual currently held at the Shelby, Montana facility.
Over the past several months, we have submitted multiple written requests, supporting documentation, and formal inquiries seeking reasonable accommodations, appropriate placement, and necessary protective measures for Mr. Hill pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 12132 (ADA Title II), 29 U.S.C. § 794 (Rehabilitation Act), and applicable Fourteenth Amendment due-process protections.
Despite these efforts, CoreCivic has failed to:
• Provide reasonable accommodations for a known mental disability;
• Ensure appropriate mental-health placement and treatment;
• Protect Mr. Hill from foreseeable harm and neglect;
• Engage in any meaningful ADA interactive process;
• Demonstrate compliance with federal disability-rights standards.
Mr. Hill’s condition, documented vulnerabilities, and functional impairments are well-established, and CoreCivic is fully aware of his need for heightened care, supervision, and ADA-mandated accommodations. Continued disregard of these obligations constitutes a violation of federal disability law, a breach of constitutional duty, and a substantial risk of ongoing and irreparable harm.
After exhausting all reasonable avenues for cooperative resolution, we are now preparing to file a civil complaint asserting violations of the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act, and Mr. Hill’s constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Society for the Rights of Man cannot—under federal law or ethical duty—remain silent while a mentally disabled inmate is subjected to neglect by an institution entrusted with his care.
We request that your office preserve all records, communications, medical logs, incident reports, grievance filings, ADA accommodation documents, and any materials related to Mr. Hill, as required under litigation-hold standards.
We will continue to update all appropriate agencies and parties as this matter proceeds.
Thank you for your attention. Please direct any further correspondence regarding this issue to our organization.
Sincerely,
The Society for the Rights of Man
