A pro-life activist imprisoned for attempting to save the life of unborn babies has been seriously injured in prison.
Will Goodman, currently an inmate at Federal Correction Institution Danbury in Connecticut, suffered severe injuries on Sunday, November 15, after falling in his sleep from an upper bunk and landing headfirst on the floor underneath.
“The bunk is over 5 feet high,” he reported by prison email to friends the next day. “There are no guard rails along the side. When I fell, I landed on the top of my head with all … my force. This loud noise woke up other men nearby. I cracked my head open and lost a lot of blood. I knocked myself unconscious.”
Goodman was taken by ambulance to the emergency room. Although he was vomiting blood and doctors discovered that he had skull fractures, he was sent back to the prison that night. There he suffered from severe dizziness and nausea, sleepiness without being able to sleep, and pain to his head, face, shoulders, lower back, with bruises and swelling. His nose bled for two days.
