Darren Rainey spent two hours locked in a shower inmates at the Dade Correctional Institute said prison guards left set to scalding hot before dying of the injuries caused by the water. Rainey's skin was peeling off when he was removed from the shower. Inmates say he was screaming to be let out before he died, and that guards regularly used extremely hot and cold showers to punish mentally ill patients. Nearly five years later, in a report released Friday, the state's attorney has ruled that there was no criminal conduct by the guards.
In her ruling, Katherine Fernandez Rundle said, according to the Miami Herald, that John Fan Fan, a sergeant, and the officers involved in getting Rainey into the shower, Ronald Clarke, Cornelius Thompson, and Edwina Williams, didn't act with premeditation, malice, recklessness, ill-will, hatred or evil intent. The officers involved were eventually promoted after the incident.

Yea. They aren’t guilty at all. Because they are police. The police are above the law. Obviously.
What was Rainey in for? What was his record?
they boiled him alive - it takes a special evil to do that to another human being
Murder.
Doesn’t matter. This isn’t North Korea, Iran or Saudi Arabia.
I’m a retired correctional office. This is totally unacceptable behavior and a vile criminal act.
The water temperature tested at 160 degrees. His skin was peeling off. His body temperature was so high that it couldn’t be measured with a thermometer. He was screaming and they wouldn’t let him out.
Nope. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
But since he was in county rather then federal he was not in for a felony.
Just going to ping the dead and ask, is this acceptable?
Your ghost or your sockpuppet account can respond.
If this is not a crime, then what is?
Horrifying.
No crime committed?
They tortured him to death by cooking him alive in a shower.
This is outrageous!
“What was Rainey in for? What was his record?”
It doesn’t matter.
From a different article:
“Battling mental illness, with one month to go in a two-year sentence in the psychiatric ward of the Dade County prison for the victimless nonviolent offense of cocaine possession without the intent to distribute, Darren Rainey would soon experience a death so cruel and so violent and so unthinkably heinous that we would expect such a thing to happen only in a country governed by a so-called evil dictator.”
A mentally ill inmate pooped his cell:
“After allegedly defecating in his cell, Rainey was locked into a tight shower cell and blasted for nearly two hours with water that was over 180 scolding hot degrees in temperature. Begging for his life, screaming apologies and remorse so loud that other inmates could hear them, the officers kept the water so hot and forceful that the steam began to melt off Darren Rainey’s skin.”
Your statement makes no sense.
Evil and sickening.
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. A prisoner stated that 50-year-old Rainey, DOC#060954, had defecated in his cell and refused to clean it, and because of that the prison guards punished him. He died on June 23, 2012.
Rainey was locked in a shower for two hours. It was designed so that he had no control over the temperature of the 180 °F water. He died from burns to more than ninety per cent of his body. It subsequently became known that his skin "fell off at the touch".
The people who promoted those who did this should have it done to them.
Without malicious intent, of course.
