The viral photo shows Vaughan looking almost skeletal in a cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMr. Vaughan\u2019s health situation is deplorable. He is in dire need of comprehensive health care that our state\u2019s corrections system cannot provide,\u201d said Daniel Schwartz, executive director of Faith in Action Alabama.<strong>&nbsp;\u201c<\/strong>On top of that, our state\u2019s corrections system is an abomination. Due to systemic failures, the lives of incarcerated individuals are put at great risk daily. Alabama\u2019s corrections system is falling woefully short of helping prepare incarcerated individuals to flourish after completing their sentences. We are long overdue for an overhaul of Alabama\u2019s corrections system. The God of Creation teaches us that we are all the Divine One\u2019s children. Thus, there is not just a constitutional imperative, but also a faith imperative to fundamentally address the horrific conditions that plague our state\u2019s correction system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Alabama Department of Corrections said Vaughan opted twice to be discharged, against medical advice, following surgeries for complications from a gunshot wound.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AL Political Reporter: &#8220;A coalition of Alabama pastors is calling on Gov.
