Murder accused Andel Forde,Enes Kanter Thunder Jersey, one of the prisoners injured in last month’s fire that killed 17 of his fellow inmates,Kyle Lowry USA Jersey, is angry at being discharged from hospital and sent back to the Camp Street Jail.Forde believes that his discharge yesterday was premature and his condition, instead of improving, could deteriorate in the insanitary conditions he now finds himself back in.Forde, who had been on remand for the past eight months for the murder of a gay commercial sex worker, suffered severe burns to both of his feet and the right side of his body. He underwent surgery which involved taking skin from the unburned body parts and placing it on the severely damaged parts.Forde says that after the surgery,Jeremy Lin Nets Jersey, he was confined to the highly sanitized burns care unit of the Georgetown Hospital, but he believes that his recent discharge could delay his recovery or worsen his condition.“I ain’t really firm…in jail it worse. I still in pain and I have to get constant dressing. Me ain’t even walking good. Behind my right foot, I get burn bad and I punishing fuh walk. Dem ain’t supposed to send me back in prison so soon,” Forde told this newspaper.Even though he is currently recovering in the Prison Infirmary, Forde stressed that the prison environment could lead to his wounds being infected.He said that he is willing to testify at the Commission of Inquiry into his fellow inmates’ deaths,Carmelo Anthony USA Jersey, but by the look of things,Authentic Taj Gibson Bulls Jersey, every effort is being made to prevent him.“I already give a statement to the police, but I believe that they want to get rid of me….because these part time nurse in hey can’t help me… real thing,” he stated.Recalling the fateful day of the incident, March 3rd, Forde said that he was among several prisoners in the Capital A Block when the fire which was started got out of control.Forde said that he and some other prisoners quickly made their way to the back of the cell where they tried to get breeze through a grilled opening.However, since thick black smoke had engulfed the room, breathing became extremely difficult, while visibility was almost nil.“I tried to put me vest to me nose, but it ain’t wuk. I hear dem men in front holler till dey stop hollering,” Forde said.According to Forde, prison officials passed an order for the door of the Capital ‘A’ Block not to be opened. He said that he only managed to come out of the room when the fire was actually done.When he emerged,Kemba Walker Hornets Jersey, he saw several of his fellow inmates’ burnt corpses lying on the ground, and he too collapsed. When he regained consciousness,Stephen Curry USA Jersey, he was in the Georgetown Hospital.“When I cough, I coughing up black muck….all of that I ingested in my lungs. I got to sleep on my back all de time, it sore, I can’t go on me belly. I lose nuff blood,” Forde explained.Forde,Paul George USA Jersey, who can be considered a prison regular, is insisting that what transpired on March 3rd was allowed to happen by the prison authorities.“I see nuff fire in hey. I see times when a matchstick ain’t scratch and fire reel (engine) does done deh pon de road outside de prison and de place does done cordon off. What happen this time?” Forde asked.He is appealing for the authorities to put him in a more sanitized environment to aid his recovery, maintaining that persons with less severe burns have been kept in the burns care unit for longer periods than he has.In all, eight prisoners were hospitalised with burns about their bodies,Al Horford Celtics Jersey, and all except one have been discharged and sent back to prison. |
