TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — State corrections officials have replaced the leadership team at a South Florida prison where an inmate was left in a scalding shower until he died.
Department of Corrections Secretary Mike Crews announced in a news release Thursday that Dade Correctional Institution will now be run by warden Les Odom, assistant warden Jose Lugo and Col. Victor Barber. The former warden, Jerry Cummings, has been on administrative leave since Crews visited the facility last week.
