Florida shatters records with 346 inmate deaths in 2014

 

Nearly 350 inmates in Florida prisons died in 2014, shattering the record for most number of prisoner deaths in a single year.

RT’s Nicholas Sanchez O’Donovan is in Miami with more details.

Florida has a horrible history – up to present day.

Mentally ill Florida prisoner scalded to death.

 

“An inmate in Florida’s Miami-Dade County, Darren Rainey, was locked inside a shower and burned to death while other inmates heard him desperately crying out for help. Inspectors have ruled that the death was an accident, but some are questioning whether or not this is just a cover-up.

 

Apparently this isn’t the first time recently that an inmate has died under highly unusual circumstances in a Miami-Dade County prison. ”

Apparently the mentally ill in the U.S. are not given help, but instead incarcerated, tortured and killed.
