Prisoner reveals shocking abuse and medical neglect
In a heart-wrenching account from a mother regarding her son's experience in the Alabama prison system, she shared the distressing details of his recent transfer from Limestone Correctional Facility to Elmore Correctional Facility. The mother expressed her deep concern, noting that transfers to southern facilities often correlate with harsher conditions.

During his time at Elmore, her son faced severe challenges, including extortion and physical violence. He suffered a staph infection that developed into a more serious condition known as MRSA, exacerbated by ongoing assaults. The mother recounted her son's plea for help, stating, \"Mom, I'm tired of getting beat,\" highlighting the emotional toll of his situation.

In a chilling gesture, he sent her photographs documenting his injuries, indicating a fear that they may be needed as evidence in the future. This account raises significant concerns about the safety and treatment of inmates within the state's correctional facilities, prompting calls for urgent reform and oversight.
