Lawyers are trying to discover why Lieutenant Keith Turner was never fired after a woman he allegedly beat is now paralyzed from the neck down.
A Florida prison guard in the state's biggest facility for women was promoted to the rank of lieutenant despite facing numerous accusations of physically abusing inmates and exploiting them for sex, a new report said.
"No one can reasonably say it's not that big of a deal that guards are trading oral sex for cigarettes," Andrews said. In 2014, an inmate reported that numerous corrections officers, including Turner, routinely exchanged cigarettes for oral sex and said that she witnessed Turner receive oral sex"three or four times" in a hallway. He was also accused of depriving inmates of their meals.
In 2018, Turner allegedly threatened to kill an inmate, allegedly body-slammed another into a chair and allegedly dragged a third across the compound in separate reports. Two other inmates alleged Turner sprayed chemicals on them.
