My father recently died July 15, 2011, he was a inmate at the federal medical center in Lexington Ky. I know this will not help him because he is gone now but I am hoping that this petition will help others who have loved ones in prison that are being denied medical attention, expecially when they are begging to be seen by a doctor because they are in so much pain, as my dad was. I have read many horrible things about the FMC Lexington F4 unit ( a locked prison inside a prison). In this part of the prison, the men are mostly bed redridden, and should be receiving around the clock care as if they were in a nursing home.
My dad would frequently complain to me and my sister that he had repeatedly asked for medical attention and would not receive any until he was rushed to the ER, with a heart attack or stroke. I am asking for congress to support the position of having all federal medical center prisons inspected regularly to ensure that inmates who are already sick, do not get neglected and die in prison. If they are not going to give them decent treatment/care, they should send them home to let their families deal with the issue. The government will save the tens of thousands of dollars being spent on medicine, treatment and surgeries for inmates. If the inmate is very sick and do not pose a threat to society, why not send them home and save tax payers dollars.

There are former employee's talking about the neglect that goes on in the F4 unit in lexington Ky, FMC. Please look into this it would mean alot to alot of people including me!
Please I don't know what to do. My husband has been at fmc going on three years. Never had any problems. He has a bad heart and they really don't care for real medical issues, what I am really worried about is they have put him in the hole and he does not no why and of course I can't find any info out. Apparently you loosse all your rights when you become incarcerated. Due process goes right out the window. As a whole we need to find someone in the government to help us more goes on in this prison than we know. It can't be one voice we are democracy we need to exercise that right. If anyone can tell me about being in the hole please I am so worried and my sons are worried about their dad. Good or bad please.
My daughter in in prison at this time in Lexington Kentucky she is in the atwood hall her and twelve other people was taken out of their rooms lastnite because they complained of this one person who will not sleep at nite and walks around looking at each one of the ladies and touching their things and acts like she is praying for them which she isnt ..these ladies went to the guard I guess who they went to and complain of this lady and they took all twelve out of the room put them in the hall and left the lady in the room this is not right and the worse is that they have told the 13 ladies that were taken out that if anyone went to the county which I dont know what it is if they went anywhere it wouldnt be this lady it would be them they would go to the county ...this is not right and i do not plan on sitting back and watching my daughter suffer in this way. the lady should have been moved into another place or they should have put her outside in the hall to sleep dont make sense to me if anyone reads this and can give me any info please do so I want to have something done now ...my email address is barbaramabry53@yahoo.com if anyone should know anything about the county is this a jail they take them to ???? I think that they should let the non violent criminals come home so we can take care of them ....

My husband is also incarcerated at the Fmc in lexington. He has also been asking for medical attention and they have neglected to treat him. I fear for his life due to the medical's staff and lack of care and help.

My son is at Butner, N.C and is in renal faillure, he is only 39 years old and has been swollen with fluid for a little over a month now, his weight jumped from 215lbs to 287lbs and was having troubld breathing, finally after sitting and waiting for over 8 hours he was taken by van next door to the hosital, I agree let my son come home where he will be taken care of, I don't want my son to die in a prison with people who don't care.
MY SON IS ON HIS WAY THERE NOW FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT.NOW I AM WORRIED!!WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS,AND THE FEDERAL GOVN'T. KNOWS OF THESE CONDITIONS AND PRACTICES?I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES FOR MY SON AND OTHERS THATS THERE.THIS IS INHUMANE!! WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO TO STOP THIS BEHAVIOR?
My husband went to Federal Prison 9 years ago healthy. FMC Lex for past 5 years. Diagnosed with stage 4 liver disease, diabetes and prognosis was less than a year to live. When we tried to get a compassionate release, all of his blood work aand tests showed a miraculous remission and compassionate was denied. Soon after that they added liver cancer to his other diagnoses that were also no longer in remission. Yet they deny him any treatment. He didn't receive a death sentence, but that is what they are giving him...and nobody cares, nobody listens! These men are good caring husbands, fathers, sons, brothers who have made mistakes like we all have. Crimes against humanity happen daily at Lexington, yet this is acceptable? Really?
I also have a loved one in this prison and I fear for him. Please everyone needs to speak up, they need US!!!! Also just an opinion of mine I'd like to express. It is CRAZY & SICK that men who RAPE & MOLESTATE kids/ppl get off with a hand slap but if you sell drugs you get YEARS!!!!!! Really? What is this saying about America?
