“I have been waiting for a colonoscopy and endoscopy since October. Medical treatment in a prison is worse than at any humane society for dogs,” he told The Sun. Adding, he is currently experiencing pain in his hip and pelvis.

The prison has approved testing to verify what stage it is in,” Joe said a few months back. Adding, “My body is tired, I have lost a tremendous amount of weight, the mouth sores are out of control, I throw up more than I eat. This is crazy how they put people in here and just let you die.”
