Filthy Dade County Jail Filled with Mold, Roaches and Leaky Urinals ...investigation into conditions at the nation's 8th largest jail system...

by Kyle Munzenrieder | miami-NewTimes

 

A Department of Justice report slammed Miami-Dade County jails for their disgusting conditions back in August of 2011, and now ten months later it doesn't appear anyone has bothered to clean up the place. A corrections officer at the Dade County jail in West Miami-Dade leaked photos of the still deplorable conditions of the jail to WSVN. Mold, leaky pipes, over-flowing urinals, and roaches mar the premises.

 

"It's very dangerous because we have families that we come home to, and anything that's airborne, we'll of course bring it home, and we have kids and families," the anonymous corrections officer told the station.

Settlement for $80 million More for Drywall Victims

Herald-Tribune (Staff Report) 

  

Lawyers representing thousands of victims of Chinese drywall have reached an $80 million settlement with insurance companies representing many of the builders and installers of the material.


That money will feed into a settlement announced in December that involves Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co., a German maker of defective Chinese drywall that could, by some reckonings, make $1 billion in repairs. The settlement called for Knauf to create an uncapped fund to repair 4,500 properties, mainly in Florida.


The latest settlement includes more than 600 defendants, including 80 insurers. The agreement covers as many as 8,000 homeowners, more of them Florida residents than any other state.
