NPR and the Marshall Project looked at records of nearly a million cases going back 24 years.
In 2023, the last full year of records, fewer than 2% of cases got decided in favor of the prisoner and just 1% of appeals for medical care.
Many cases get decided on technicalities, not on their merits.
Like a woman at a California prison who complained she was being sexually abused by a corrections officer.
But her grievance was denied, she said, because she misspelled the guard's last name.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons said the system is set up to, quote, solve problems and be responsive to issues raised by inmates.

Joseph Shapiro, NPR News.
It's been 35 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law and required hotels to be made accessible for people with disabilities.
But 200 wheelchair users responding to an NPR survey say they run into repeated problems.
Most common is that they reserve an accessible room, either online or with a phone call.
When they show up, the room isn't available.
Or they get the room that's called accessible, but it isn't.
Maybe the shower is too small or the bed is too tall.
