The former Dade Correctional Institution warden detailed what he called dysfunctional conditions of the facility after a violent inmate escaped the prison Friday, the Miami Herald reports.
According to Jerry Cummings, every area of the prison is broken or corrupted, including a central office in Tallahassee that ignored a variety of problems such as failed inspections, chronic abuse of inmates, and suspicious deaths, according to the Herald.
Cummings also said – and other prison sources confirmed – that security breaches at the correctional facility continue to be a constant problem. According to the Herald, Friday’s prisoner escape was the fourth in the past eight years.
