‘They are strategically killing me slowly.’ Kodak Black claims abuse in Miami prison
Kodak Black has caused another social media storm as he posted a tell-all on Instagram about his few months of time in a federal prison. He alleges that the Federal Detention Center in Miami has abused him.
Bill Kapri, better known as Kodak Black, 22, was sentenced to almost four years in prison in November for lying on a background form when he purchased handguns at a Hialeah weapons store.
On Thursday, shortly into his sentence, Kapri released two lengthy Instagram posts on “a big conspiracy” going on in the Federal Detention Center and abuse he said he has suffered.
Kapri blames two detention center employees for his misery: Lt. F. Arroyo and Santiago Torres.
In his post, he says Arroyo “has been very vindictive towards me and I have a strong feeling it has something to do with me being set up, laced, bruised and brutally beaten two weeks before my court date.”
When it comes to Torres, Kapri says she has used her position to take away some of his prison privileges and mock him.
“She has been writing falsified incident reports on me, to take phone privileges that I get once a week while in solitary,” the post said. “One morning, she pulled me out my cell to tell me she is going to ‘Take my pretty little girlfriend off my visitation list.’ ”
The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on Kapri’s allegations. The Miami Herald also tried to speak to the employees Kapri named but was told they were not immediately available.
Kapri also said two days before Christmas he was denied a visit from his mother and that his mail is being tampered with.
“Not only does my incoming mail take an average of a month to get to me but they are messing with my outgoing mail as well. My family hasn’t received none of my letters for the holidays. Which is borderline cruel and unethical,” the post said.
Kapri also said one day he was given an empty tray for breakfast. He tried to bring it up with detention center employees but nothing was done.
“They are strategically killing me slowly in here,” the post said. “I have been humiliated over and over again.”
Kapri’s tell-all wasn’t only about him. He also told the story of a man named Pete.
He met Pete in solitary confinement while awaiting trial and says that he was very kind and generous.
While in confinement, Pete’s health condition, which was not named, worsened, putting him in excruciating pain, Kapri said.
When Pete requested medical attention because he felt like he was dying, Kapri says he was denied.
“As Pete’s constant cried for help fell on deaf ears, he decided to take himself out of his misery by hanging himself from the bunk to end his pain and suffering,” the post said.
Kapri says Pete’s death is being hidden from the public.
While not commenting on Kapri’s allegations, the bureau did say, “the Bureau of Prisons has an Administrative Remedy Program for inmates to seek formal review and redress of almost any concern they have regarding their incarceration. See Program Statement 1330.18 “Administrative Remedy Program” found here https://www.bop.gov/policy/progstat/1330_018.pdf for more information.”
