MIAMI-DADE, Fla. — A Miami-Dade Corrections officer is coming out of surgery Monday after what his coworkers say was a vicious attack that was made worse because emergency equipment didn’t work.
Union leaders said what happened to Officer Jonathan Quijano is just one example of the trouble in Miami-Dade County jails.
John Rivera, the head of the union representing corrections officers in Miami-Dade, said Quijano’s calls for help initially went unanswered at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center when he was allegedly attacked by inmate Jovens Esperance on March 3.
