  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.

Article From Human Rights Coalition

"...Elderly man thrown in solitary and denied medication for helping another prisoner Submitted by andys on Sat, 05/09/2015 - 7:52pm Major Tillery is a PA lifer who in March 2015 confronted SCI Mahanoy Superintendent John Kerestes over Mumia Abu-Abu-Jamal’s deteriorating health – spreading skin problems, lesions and scabbing over his whole body, rapid loss of weight, disorientation. Tillery told the Superintendent point blank to get Mumia to the hospital, stating, “Mumia is dying.” Kerestes told Major Tillery to “take care of himself.” Major answered back, “taking care of Mumia is taking care of myself. " Days later Mumia went into diabetic shock and was put into a hospital ICU on an insulin drip. He had a life-threatening sugar glucose level of 779.

In retaliation for aiding Mumia and filing his own grievances about a skin rash affecting himself and half the inmates on his block, Major Tillery was transferred from SCI Mahanoy to SCI Frackville without notice and without his property. Now in further retaliation, he was put into the RHU (Restricted Housing Unit, or the "hole") on false charges of receiving a letter with stamps concealing drugs. Major, who turns 65 this year, has been denied medication he needs for his failing liver and high blood pressure. SCI Frackville has denied him even a legal phone call. Major Tillery's daughter, Kamillah, received a letter from her father saying, "This is more retaliation for helping Mumia. They transferred me from Mahanoy, now set me up with this stamp with drugs. They take the stamps off all the mail, so who would even do this? I don't even know the return address on the letter. They are denying me my meds and messing with my food. I knew they would retaliate, but didn't expect this one." Major Tillery risked his health and safety to stand up for another man when it counted-now it's our turn to stand up for him! His family is calling on all human rights defenders to protest this retaliation- call now!"http://hrcoalition.org/?q=node/332
