Prison inspectors: Corruption rampant in Florida system
Source: The Miami Herald
Breaking their silence about Florida’s troubled prison system, several current and former prison inspectors told lawmakers Tuesday that their bosses repeatedly ordered them to ignore evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing by corrections officers.
The inspectors, who testified under oath before the Senate Criminal Justice Committee, told the committee that corruption and cover-up is so rampant that the Department of Correction has neither the staff nor the desire to weed out even a fraction of inmate abuse, medical neglect, gang violence and organized crime in the prison system...

He said the atrocities he has observed on the streets of America pale in comparison to the human rights violations occurring in the Florida prison system.
