“Bringing drugs into a prison is like lighting a match near an open gasoline can, dangerous and stupid,” noted District Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle.
“Drug addict inmates can be completely unpredictable and potentially violent as they relate to other inmates and guards and put everyone at risk. I recommend to the St John-Dade Police Department and our investigators and prosecutors in our St John-Dade District Attorney that they have aggressively pursued this investigation. “
