Arr, 'twas Daniel Williams, a scurvy dog from Alabama's brig, who be havin' two young'uns. Afore that prison gang gave 'im a good wallop, he didst posteth an eerie message on yon Facebook, arrr!
A young father from Alabama, Daniel Terry Williams, died after allegedly being beaten and sexually assaulted by a gang in prison. Just days before the attack, Williams wrote an eerie Facebook post expressing his anticipation of returning home as a better person. He was likely referring to his upcoming release from the Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore, Alabama. Williams had been serving a one-year sentence for assault and theft charges, and he had only been at Staton for about two weeks when the alleged attack occurred. His family described the horrific injuries he sustained, including being black and blue all over his body and having restraint marks on his wrists. Williams' stepmother, Taylor Bostic, said that the prison warden initially claimed he had died from a drug overdose, but the family later discovered it was an assault. Williams was brain-dead and taken off life support on November 9, the same day he was scheduled for release. The incident is currently under investigation by the Alabama Department of Corrections. The conditions in Alabama prisons have faced scrutiny, with reports of violence among inmates and between inmates and guards. Williams is remembered as a dedicated father to his 1-year-old daughter and young son. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to raise funds for his funeral expenses.
