Augusta State Medical Prison (ASMP) is the name of the prison medical facility Kamau Sadiki receives medical care. However, this medical facility is a prison that is notorious for terrible patient care, and dirty, dangerous, and horrible conditions for any prison. The Augusta State Medical Prison’s criminally negligent care is killing Kamau and the many other imprisoned people living there. If Georgia cannot provide care for ill and/or elderly prisoners, they should be paroled so they can receive medically appropriate care.
