Inmate Signs Waiver to Release Medical History

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Inmate Kastello Demarcus Vaughan (ADOC records show an alias of Kastellio) has signed the Inmate Authorization for Release of Health Records, which allows the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) to disclose additional details about his medical history that have contributed to his physical condition.

Vaughan was admitted to Jackson Hospital in Montgomery on August 5, 2022, for a bowel obstruction and underwent surgery. The surgery was due to a complication from a previous gunshot wound. Following the surgery, he opted to be discharged Against Medical Advice (AMA) on August 10, 2022.

He was again admitted to Jackson Hospital on September 3, 2022, for post-surgical complications. He, once again, opted to be discharged AMA on September 7, 2022, and refused all medication.

In addition, inmate Vaughan has repeatedly refused medical assessment and medical treatment while in the custody of the ADOC following his return AMA from Jackson Hospital.

The ADOC offers medical assessment and treatment to all inmates but does not force them to accept that care.
