A south Alabama woman is pleading for help for her brother after she says she received photos showing him in dire medical distress in a state prison.
Kassie Vaughan’s Facebook post about her brother, Kastellio Vaughan, has been shared more than 12,000 times and has captured the attention of inmate advocate groups.
Kastellio is an inmate at Elmore Correctional Facility in central Alabama. He began serving a 20-year sentence in 2019 for multiple convictions out of Baldwin and Mobile counties for burglary and unlawful breaking and entering a vehicle, court and prison records show. “He is assigned to Elmore Correctional Facility but is currently housed at Staton Medical Observation Unit. ADOC’s Office of Health Services has fully investigated his situation from a clinical perspective, and he has been offered all necessary treatment for his condition. Also, he has been in touch with his family to update them on his situation.”According to Kassie’s post, she last visited with her brother on July 24, and he was in good condition.
“We will not allow another one of our loved ones to leave the ADOC in a body bag due to medical neglect,’’ according to a statement from Concerned Families of Incarcerated Citizens of Alabama. “This young man should not have been in population suffering to this magnitude.”
