2012 fatal torture of an African American inmate in Florida
Darren RaineyThe entrance to Dade Correctional Institution and Homestead Correctional Institution; Rainey died at Dade CI
Darren Rainey (January 12, 1962 – June 23, 2012) died at the Dade Correctional Institution (Dade CI) in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida,[1] on June 23, 2012.[2] The prison is in proximity to Florida City, and is south of Homestead.
In 2014, Dade CI prisoner Mark Joiner accused prison authorities of fatally torturing prisoner Darren Rainey, who was mentally ill, by scalding him in a shower.[3]
On the night of his death, the 50-year-old Rainey, (DOC#060954), had served just a few months of a two-year prison sentence. About 7:30 p.m he allegedly defecated in his cell and smeared feces on himself and on the walls. Guards reportedly put him in the shower with improvised plumbing, telling him they would not let him out until he cleaned himself. According to the state attorney’s report, Rainey refused to stand under the steaming hot water. He was found dead about two hours later, lying face up and covered with red patches which appeared to be burns.[4]
Originally, the police classified the death as unexplained, and the DOC did not punish any staff until the warden was fired two years later. Two officers on duty at the time of the death later received promotions. The police began interviewing witnesses after the Miami Herald obtained public records and made a visit to the prison.[5] After filing a lawsuit, the family received a settlement in the matter of Rainey's death.
