Gerald Bailey replaced as FDLE gets interim leader

[Baitball Blogger]

Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday replaced longtime Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey with the head of the Capitol Police.

No explanation was immediately given for the change by the governor's office or the FDLE.

The governor's office issued a release in which Scott announced the appointment of Rick Swearingen as the interim commissioner.

The release briefly thanked Bailey for his service.

1. It may have to do with the ionvestigations of murders inside the Florid

prisons by guards. Especially heinous is the torture and the boiling alive murder of Darren Rainey 2 1/2 yrs ago in the Miami Dade prison.

Most murders are committed by guards against Black inmates and the mentally ill. Usually nothing is done about these murders. Miami Dade Sheriffs have not done any investigations and no autopsy was even done on the remains of Darren Rainey.

The FDLE (Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement) usually finds for Law Enforcement no matter how strong the evidence is againsty them. They are now tasked with these investigayions IIRC.

Florida is still in the dark ages. IIRC the UN has found the prisons in Florida are really lacking in the area of human rights.

I believe many of these murders were done back when Jeb was governor.

2. Can't see Rick Scott coming to the rescue of prison inmates, or at the front of

any social reform.

Unless someone at the federal level gave him a call to tell him they're coming.

take a look.



After inmate deaths, Department of Justice to probe Florida prison system

Bernadette Gregory was getting out of prison in eight months and planning her wedding when she was found hanging in a cell at Florida’s Lowell Correctional Institution.

Prison authorities say Gregory, 42, tied a double knot in a sheet, twisted it several times around her top bunk, looped the other end around her neck and hanged herself.

Despite relying on a wheelchair to get around, she did all of this in 11 minutes — while she was handcuffed, a detail the Department of Corrections’ investigative summary mentions only in passing.

Gregory’s 2009 death is one of many that don’t seem to add up but have nevertheless been tucked away in the department’s files, categorized as suicides, homicides, accidents or natural deaths.
