MIAMI (AP) — New Dade Correctional Institution warden Les Odom has announced a variety of upgrades to overhaul the state prison and correct lapses in proper management.
The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/1t5FcpA ) reported some of the improvements have already begun and others have been scheduled. Those include replacing the air conditioning in the area housing mentally ill inmates. Also, training staff how to better keep track of the number of prisoners.
