SAVE KEYONTAE!

SAVE KEYONTAE!

The Issue

"JUST BECAUSE IM DOING MY TIME DOESN'T MEAN I SHOULD BE TREATED ANY LESS THAN A HUMAN THATS FREE!. IM STILL ENTITLED TO FOOD, HEALTHY LIVING CONDITIONS AND MY RIGHTS". 

Keyontae Johnson is incarcerated at Lebanon Correctional Institution. Over the years he has Become extremely sick. He tried telling the correctional officers multiple times about his health but ultimately he was ignored. Later Keyontae was found unresponsive in his cell after coughing up large amounts of blood. His oxygen and vitals were all detramenetly low. Keyontae later needed 5 blood transfusions, Chemo therapy, various medications, multiple hospital visits.The family has been left in the blind. The staff at Lebanon doesn't return his mother phone calls or emails. She hasn't seen her son. she's stuck in the dark while her son  is left inside fighting for his life.

Lebanon Correctional Institution refuses to release Keyontae medical records, so that he can be released from prison and get the correct medical attention he needs.They rather him suffer inside. Lebanon jail cells are infested with rats, molded walls in cells, mice in the kitchen where the food is prepared and served. The water that they are required to drink is polluted and brown which is clearly unsafe to consume. Lebanon jail is inhumane. These living conditions are the cause of Keyontae's sudden illness. Every prisoner has rights to. daily essentials and Keyontae is stuck in quarantine due to multiple hospital visits causing him no commissary, no contact with the general population. Suffering in a call by himself.

Multiple inmates have contacted Keyontae's mom from the jail to inform her of Keyonate's health status. One even stated "I watched a man take his last breath in here and all the correctional officers said was GO TO THE WINDOW FOR AIR". Its one thing to do your time buts its another to suffer for your life while doing so

Let's force Lebanon Correctional Institution to release Keyontae medical record so he can get help with the proper care he needs from home. The Lebanon institution gets paid 50k per person to house each inmate per year. They also get gets paid every time Keyontae is rushed to the hospital so instead of them leaving him in the hospital they rather him be continuously sent out through emergency each time he needs medical attention or passes out in his cell. Then right after they sent him back to the prison and wait on his next episode. These inmates are used as cash ponds!. Lebanon Correctional Institution is wrong and this needs to come to a end today. No inmate should be treated with injustice.
