Kastellio Vaughn was exposed to deplorable conditions, and lost almost 75 pounds due to infection following a surgery he received at the
#ElmoreCorrectionalFacility medical center. Vaughn’s family claims that they received calls and photos from another inmate who was concerned about his rapidly declining health condition.
They immediately began contacting the prison with their concerns. In a recent statement, the Department of Corrections claimed that Vaughn refused medical attention and medication which led to his rapid decline.
However, the Vaughn family insists that Kastellio’s constitutional rights were violated and that the prison should be held accountable.
They’ve also hired a lawyer and are taking legal action. Are the conditions of the Alabama prison system to blame here? Or is there more to this story than meets the eye?
