MOBILE, AL – JANUARY 28, 2024: Lauren Faraino sits at her dining room table. As a lawyer focused on appellate litigation and civil rights, Faraino is currently working with the family of Kelvin Moore as part of the case Audrey Dotson v. Alabama Department of Corrections.
Kelvin Moore died mysteriously on July 21, 2023 while incarcerated at Limestone Correctional Facility in northern Alabama. At the direction of the prison warden, Moore's body was sent to the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Pathology for an autopsy. Days later, after Moore's body was returned to his hometown for burial, a funeral director made a shocking discovery – several of Moore’s internal organs were missing. To the disbelief of the Moore family, neither the Alabama Department of Corrections or UAB have provided a reason for the posthumous organ removal without consent. So the family is suing. In the ongoing case, the Department of Corrections has effectively claimed it has the right to the organs of all incarcerated persons after death, regardless of consent. In a state already grappling with issues of overcrowding and violence in its prisons, the lawsuit is igniting debate over the rights of incarcerated people. CREDIT: Bob Miller for ESPN / Andscape
