The family of an Alabama man serving a year-long prison sentence is demanding accountability after his death following an alleged beating by a gang behind bars.
“Daniel Terry Williams, 22, was serving a one-year sentence on assault and robbery charges as part of a plea deal, and was due to be released on November 9, the same day died, according to Jefferson County court records. and his family. He had only been in Staton for about two weeks after a transfer to the Elmore, Ala., correctional center when he was allegedly beaten and sexually assaulted,” Fox News. reported.
Williams’ father, Terry, vowed that someone would pay for his son’s death, a father himself.
“Somebody has to pay for it, and I’m not holding back. It’s my son,” Terry Williams told Fox News Digital. “I’ll go to my grave with this if I have to.”
Williams’ wife indicated that a doctor told them the 22-year-old was “in a coma long before he received medical attention.”
A guard at the Staton Correctional Facility reportedly told Taylor Bostic, Daniel’s stepmother, that he had been hospitalized for a drug overdose on Oct. 22 when she called for more information.
“Then I called the director myself to find out what was going on and why we hadn’t been contacted. And he said both [Williams’] The parents had been marked ‘N/A’ on the contact sheet, which means, excuse me, but shit,” Bostic told Fox News Digital. “But when I called, he said that in Daniel was on life support, but the only time we call the family is when it looks like they’re not going to make it.”
She and her husband Terry were reportedly shocked by Daniel’s condition when they arrived at the hospital and recalled the lack of response they received after the youngster’s death.
“He was black and blue from head to toe. He had restraint marks on his wrists. His head was almost bleeding from being hit,” Bostic said. “So my husband, Terry, called the principal and said, ‘Why the hell … did you tell me my son died of an overdose when it was clearly an assault?'” And the principal he said it’s being investigated, and that’s all we’ve heard from them since.
“Terry alleged that Daniel had been ‘tied up’ and beaten on October 19, three days before another inmate brought him to an officer for help on October 22, citing what he has heard from others inmates at the facility,” he said. Fox News.
Bostic told the Alabama Political Reporter that the inmate “was tied up, assaulted and ‘exhausted’ by another incarcerated person on or about October 22nd, essentially kidnapped, for two to three days.” .
“And when I spoke to the director, he said it was obviously a drug overdose,” he said. APR. “Okay, so me and her dad assumed she took some bad drugs or something. And when we went to see her she was beaten and bruised and you can tell where her hands were tied. I mean, you can say it’s obviously not a drug overdose. And that’s when [Terry] called the director and asked why the hell he told us his son is dying of a drug overdose when it’s clearly an assault. And all he could say after that was that it’s being investigated.”
“Inmate Williams was found unresponsive in his bedroom and was transported to the Health Care Unit,” the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“Medical personnel treated Williams and monitored his condition. The decision was made to transport him to an area hospital for further evaluation and treatment. He remained at the hospital until the family decided to remove- on life support. He was transported to Kilby Correctional Facility for long-term comfort care, where he later died,” ADOC said.
The Department added that Williams “was found unresponsive in the Health Care Unit” on Nov. 9 and, according to Bostic, was returned to the jail after he was taken off life support.
Alabama faced a lawsuit in 2020 by the Department of Justice after it found that “Alabama violated and continues to violate the Constitution because its prisons are rife with prisoner-on-prisoner and guard-on-prisoner violence.”
Although ADOC’s Division of Law Enforcement Services is on the move, Williams’ family is still waiting for answers and accountability.
“Daniel Terry Williams fly high son, keep mommy company and grandma will be served. I love you son, until we meet again,” said his father he wrote in social networks.
