Merritt stated, “the family members report that following his surgery last month, Vaughan was immediately discharged from the hospital on the same day and placed back into the general population at Elmore Correctional Facility.”

“Due to inadequate facilities, abuse, and medical neglect, Vaughan’s medical condition rapidly deteriorated,” Merritt continued. “Vaughan is believed to have lost 75 pounds in less than a month.”

In addition, Merritt revealed that Vaughan’s surgical scars were “exposed to unsanitary conditions” and “possibly infected.”
