Rundle Won't Charge Prison Guards Who Allegedly Boiled Schizophrenic Black Man to Death
03/18/17 09:42 AM




On June 23, 2012, Darren Rainey, a schizophrenic man serving time for cocaine possession, was thrown into a prison shower at the Dade Correctional Institution. The water was turned up top 180 degrees — hot enough to steep tea or cook Ramen noodles.

As punishment, four corrections officers — John Fan Fan, Cornelius Thompson, Ronald Clarke and Edwina Williams — kept Rainey in that shower for two full hours. Rainey was heard screaming "Please take me out! I can’t take it anymore!” and kicking the shower door. Inmates said prison guards laughed at Rainey and shouted "Is it hot enough?"

Rainey died inside that shower. He was found crumpled on the floor. When his body was pulled out, nurses said there were burns on 90 percent of his body. A nurse said his body temperature was too high to register with a thermometer. And his skin fell off at the touch.

But in an unconscionable decision, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle's office announced Friday that the four guards who oversaw what amounted to a medieval-era boiling will not be charged with a crime.

xx * They ARE criminals. Why no charges? Criminals with legal right to torture and kill. Lovely. NT

xx * Good cops get lumped in with the bad apples when no one does anything to weed out the bad ones. This is disgusting. NT

xx * It's worse than disgusting, and you're right that this kind of thing tarnishes all cops, as well as the entire justice system.
