MIAMI — Four current and former Miami-Dade corrections officers took to the streets Monday to protest conditions at the county’s main jail – The Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Facility.
CBS4 Chief Investigative Reporter Michele Gillen has reported a number of times on the deplorable conditions on the facility’s ninth floor where inmates with the most severe mental illnesses are housed.
The corrections officers say the issues range from intimidation and retaliation to physical problems including overflowing sewage lines and rat infestations. When combined, the problems put everyone at risk, according the protestors.
