This is the best summary I could come up with:

And when Charles Singleton, incarcerated at the Hamilton Aged and Infirmed prison in north Alabama, died at a hospital in November 2021, his body was returned to family after an autopsy at UAB.

In 2018, UAB medical students worried about the process of extracting organs from people who died in custody and did not give consent.

Two of those students, representing a group of 13, went before doctors that September to “seek guidance about the legal and the ethical status of this tissue procurement process and the teaching use of these specimens.”

The students were told that in private autopsies – not the ones involving prisoner deaths – family members can opt out of allowing that sort of organ use.

“Of over 3,000 cases of gross autopsy performed at UAB from 2011 to present, only four families refused to allow the teaching uses of the deceased person’s specimens,” they said.

“They shared with us that when the prison warden filled out the autopsy request form, they rarely check the box to opt out of organ use for educational and research purposes,” the student told that publication.
