Miami-Dade jails probed...

Check out this POST over at Blogging Black Miami (Shout out to Ms. VByers!). The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the Miami-Dade County jails system for "possible civil rights violations." This is, of course, right after the fed take over of the Miami-Dade Housing Agency.

Just in time for election year, right County officials?

Now let's not get it twisted, jail is not supposed to be like a visit to Merrick Park, or a stay at the Ritz Coconut Grove. But if we are to be a County, similar to our country as a whole, that respects and protects the basic human rights of our citizens, that needs to apply to EVERYONE. That should be regardless to anyone's feelings about those convicted of a crime.
