Florida closes state prisons over crowding crisis
In an unprecedented move Florida halted new inmate admissions to state prisons citing severe overcrowding. Corrections Director Louie Wainwright ordered the pause, while Attorney General Robert Shevin warned it may be illegal but endorsed the intent. About 9.7 inmates remain in the system with potential early releases for 200 to 280 inmates nearing parole. Prisoners sleep on floors. some cells hold four inmates. Raiford and Lake Butler facilities reported unhealthy conditions and past riots linked to crowding. County jails in Miami-Dade and Duval increased transfers to Lake Butler as pressure grew.
