Images circulating online of an inmate at an Alabama prison have prompted a public outcry on social media.
Thousands of people have shared a post made by a Mobile woman who says she received alarming images of her brother from inside the Elmore Correctional Facility saying, “get help.”
“What if that was your family and you got a picture of your big brother and your big brother looked dead,” said Kastellio Vaughan’s sister Kacie Vaughan. “For his eyes to be rolled back and him just sitting right there in general population I’m like, this like a zombie.” The family said days later they received a call from an inmate who let them know their brother had been taken into surgery at the prison’s medical facility. The inmate told them he had part of his small intestine removed.
WSFA 12 News reached out to ADOC for a response to the images and they released the following statement: “Our main concern is - we need medical attention. That’s what we’re shooting for. We don’t care about anything else at this point,” said Iesha Foster, the mother of Kasetllio Vaughan’s child.
