Intentional Medical Neglect

I have almost died by negligence of the prison officials for my serious medical needs. One officer made the statement that "he's just an inmate, I don't care if he dies in front of a nurse and 59 other inmates," which he also said it was not his problem. He did not want to call medical as the nurse told him to do, which he finally did after about 20 minutes of her yelling at him. I was took to medical unconscious and the nurse said later that she thought I was dead, when she came to medical. I woke up with a IV in my arm.

They keep our unit so cold we have to sleep in all our clothes and coat to stay warm.
