Disabled Alabama Department of
Corrections Inmate In Need of Urgent Care
I am writing
to express urgency regarding the need to provide AL DOC disabled inmate with
quality healthcare.
Mr. Kastellio Demarcus Vaughan – AIS#:
00263279 is gravely ill and in need of quality healthcare in a hospital
outside of the Alabama Department of Corrections. Mr. Vaughn is a disabled
inmate. He cannot walk, he’s using a wheelchair,
and is unable to carry out activities of daily living. He currently wears diapers as undergarments and
is afraid of losing his legs and his life. He is emaciated and malnourished.
His sister, Kassie Vaughan has also stated he vomited waste.
Kastellio
told Ms. Kassie Vaughan that his feet are the size of footballs, and the back
of his legs and the top of his feet are hard and discolored. The hole in his
chest is still there, and he thinks it is infected.
Alabama
Department of Corrections states Mr. Vaughan signed a waiver to have his
medical records released. The question is, was he competent to sign the waiver,
if he indeed signed it, and as sick as he is, did he know what he was signing?
Alabama
Department of Corrections also said that, “… Vaughan was admitted to Jackson
Hospital in Montgomery on August 5 for a bowel obstruction. He then underwent
surgery. Following the surgery, AL DOC states Vaughan opted to be discharged
Against Medical Advice on August 10.” Alabama News Network Article
If Mr.
Vaughan was given quality medical care, certainly he was given prescribed pain
medication. If so, Mr. Vaughan was not able to make a competent discharge
decision under the influence of prescribed painkillers.
Mr.
Vaughan’s Civil Rights are being violated as a disabled human being. He was movedhoused at Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore County, Alabama. Please do not allow him to waste away.
