Staff disciplined after jailed Florida teen’s death #AndreSheffield

July of 2011, 18-year-old Eric Perez died of a cerebral hemorrhage, records said, after a guard dropped him on his head during horseplay — and other staff failed to act as the teen’s condition worsened. One guard, a report said, was convinced Perez was “faking it.” He told a colleague it was not worth the required paperwork to send Perez to a hospital. Perez’s death, like that of Omar Paisley, prompted an agency housecleaning: Nine employees were fired, including the lockup superintendent.
