A mentally ill inmate at the Dade Correctional Institution near Miami, Florida was tortured to death by prison guards, but investigators determined that there is not enough evidence to charge the guards.
Darren Rainey was serving a two year sentence for cocaine possession when he was forced into a locked shower by prison guards as punishment for defecating in his cell, says one inmate. Once Rainey was inside the shower, guards blasted him with scalding hot water as he begged for his life.
According to The Miami Herald, an inmate housed on the floor above the shower heard Rainey’s cries for help.
“I can't take it no more, I'm sorry. I won’t do it again,’’ Rainey shouted, the inmate said.
Saddest of all, Rainey was only a month away from the end of his sentence when guards turned the hot water to the highest setting and boiled him to death in the shower.
A report by Dade Department of Corrections Inspector General Jeffrey Beasley determined that Rainey was locked in the shower by prison guard Roland Clarke at 7:38 pm two years ago. By the time Rainey’s body was found, his skin had began to peel away from his body.
The state has still not completed Rainey’s autopsy, causing investigators to call off the inquiry.
SMH. Prisoners definitely don’t deserve top-of-the-line treatment, but this sounds like a clear cut case of blatant brutality.
