Subject: RIP James Walker - Murdered by the United States of America
James Walker, age 67, in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Edgefield, South Carolina, died Saturday night after begging for medical care and being ignored. He had asked that I tell his story after reading about Mr. Waters' amputations. He had hoped - briefly - that the exposure of his medical abuse - which is torture to ignore someone begging for help until they die - would compel the federal employees to do something to save his life. But before I could get his information, he was moved to the local hospital where he died.
What now? Shrugging and doing nothing makes us part of the problem. These men are human beings, our brothers.
Mr. Walker was supposed to go home in April. Instead, his family will have to pay to have his dead body sent home for Christmas. It gives a whole new meaning to "home for Christmas", doesn't it. We can hope his spirit is at peace in his eternal home, and offer prayers for the comfort of his family. Mr. Walker died a horrible death that did not have to be. What if he was your son, brother, husband, daddy, or friend?
