      1/ Kevin Zeich was three and a half years shy of completing a 27-year sentence for dealing meth. He was also dying. So he applied for compassionate release, a special provision for old or sick people to leave federal prison and die at home. https://www.themarshallproject.org/2018/03/07/old-sick-and-dying-in-shackles?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sprout&utm_source=twitter …pic.twitter.com/0PMdnLteDe

      2/ The cancer in Zeich’s bile ducts was spreading throughout his body. His skin was yellowed with jaundice. He was nearly blind. He vomited nearly everything he ate. He couldn’t sleep for more than a few hours a night as a result of intense pain.pic.twitter.com/5IKShPj87E

      3/ Since 2013, Zeich had been trying to prove that he was sick enough to secure his release. By November 2015, his warden, prosecutor, and judge were in favor of letting him out, but the Bureau of Prisons needed to make the final call.pic.twitter.com/LrV7GjqWaa

      4/ Zeich was incarcerated when his daughter, Kimberly Heraldez, was just six months old, but they had formed a close relationship over the years. She hoped her father could live out his final months in her home and meet her kids.pic.twitter.com/KSpTNCBBw0

      5/ “I told him, ‘I’d rather you die here, in your room, than in a prison cell by yourself. At least we would have some happy memories,’” Heraldez said. A probation officer visited Heraldez’s house and signed off on the spare bedroom she prepared for her dying father.pic.twitter.com/gwAZIKSo9N

      6/ In January 2016, the Bureau of Prisons denied Zeich’s request to die at home. They said he had too long to live. But Zeich, his attorney and Heraldez were determined. After waiting for more than two years, his request was finally approved in March 2016.pic.twitter.com/WqCtNwcbRB

      7/ By that time, Heraldez had stripped the carpet in her house for Zeich’s wheelchair. She tore out her tub and put in a handicap-accessible shower.

      9/ Heraldez was awakened by another call the next morning: Her father had passed away. His ashes now sit in a container in her closet alongside his possessions from prison. “We brought him home,” Heraldez says. “But not the way we wanted to.”pic.twitter.com/8YEeeXc6Di

      10/ In his final days and feeling weak, Zeich had asked someone in the hospice wing to pen a last letter to his daughter. Heraldez keeps that letter tucked inside Zeich’s bible. It arrived a week after he died.pic.twitter.com/Cg4Tvx2Z2b
