Free James Kimball

Kimball was a prisoner at Coleman/Low Federal prison in Coleman, Florida between December 1999 and January 2001.

Kimball made an accounting; personally took statements; reviewed records of selected prisoners that were picked to be medically tortured; some paralyzed while others died.

Kimball and his associates hold the documents of these events. This was such an accounting.

Note: While Kimball was at Coleman/Low Federal Prison the BOP had appointed two people as medical doctors; Dr. Davila and Dr. Blanco De Leon along with 4 Physician Assistants (PA's). None of the BOP medical doctors or PAs were licensed to practice medicine in any state within the United States.

Bell slipped on the wet floor in the kitchen while incarcerated and has a herniated disk. He had a MRI and needs surgery. He came to Coleman-Low in May of 2000 on crutches to see a neurosurgeon.

Bell filed a BP 8, 9, 10 and 11 all the way to Washington, D.C. which are the administrative procedures to receive treatment. He has never even seen a neurosurgeon since he has been at Coleman and is now in a wheelchair. He is suing.

He was twice refused for medical treatment by a Medical Review Committee here at Coleman. They allegedly approved him for outside medical treatment 4 months ago, but still nothing from medical.Bell is confined to a wheelchair because of Coleman-Low’s refusal to address and treat Bell’s medical condition.

On Sunday, July 7, 2001, at 11:00 p.m., Mr. Bell was experiencing excruciating pain in the area of his kidneys, and he had been urinating blood. Mr. Bell could not urinate and was vomiting. At approximately midnight, Bell’s unit officer ordered him to the lieutenant’s office because there was no one at Coleman-Low medical.

The lieutenant told Bell that he called someone from medical who said for Bell to drink plenty of water. Bell was then left in the lobby of the lieutenant’s office in his wheelchair vomiting. The pain was so severe Bell could no longer sit in his wheelchair, so he rolled out onto the floor where he lay in pain and vomited until 5:00 a.m. No one from medical came to examine him.

At 5:00 a.m. Bell was wheeled back to his unit, and put in the TV room, where he continued to vomit on the floor. At 6:00 a.m. Bell was wheeled over to medical, still in excruciating pain and still vomiting. The P.A. on duty refused to see Bell until 6:30 a.m. sick call. Bell was eventually given a shot for pain, and was then able to urinate. Bell said his urine was black, obviously with blood.

The P.A. gave Bell a urine test, which confirmed blood in the urine, and the P.A. theorized he had kidney stones. The P.A. sent Bell back to his unit. Bell had to return to medical twice to get pain medicine and as of 7:30 a.m. on July 10, 2001 when interviewed, he was still in pain and had not even seen a medical doctor.

At 10:00 a.m. on July 10, 2001, KIMBALL called the undersigned regarding Bell and spoke to the undersigned’s secretary. KIMBALL’s telephone calls are very closely monitored.

At approximately 10:30 a.m., Bell was called to medical and told he was going to Leesburg Hospital that afternoon. The delay was allegedly due to lack of staff or vehicles to take Bell to the hospital. Bell was taken to Leesburg hospital that afternoon and Bell was told by a doctor at the hospital he had three kidney stones, one in the kidney, one in the urethra tube and one in the bladder. He was immediately put on IV of saline solution and given pain medication to relieve his pain.

After over an hour Bell had not passed any stones. The hospital wanted to keep Bell until he passed the stones, however, after the hospital called Coleman-Low, Bell was returned to Coleman, again allegedly due to lack of staff to guard Bell (two guards are required by the Warden, 24 hours a day).

On July 11, 2001 Bell returned to medical because he was still in pain and still had blood in his urine. All he had been given for pain was Tylenol 3, which did not relieve his pain. Later that day, he was taken to a urologist named Burnette who, after allegedly looking at the hospital report, told Bell he had only one small kidney stone, and he should pass it in due time. Bell was returned to Coleman-Low still in pain.

On July 12, 2001, Bell had passed two stones and his pain had subsided. Bell kept the two stones he passed. Bell may still have one kidney stone remaining.
