How much is a person's life worth? For some, its only $60 worth of four phone chargers in a Target store.
Florida inmate killed in prison for doing this crime
Howell was already on the halfway of his sentence and scheduled to be released on June 3, 2022. However, this did not happen.
The inmate, according to Fox News, was beaten to death in prison by a corrections officer while being handcuffed after refusing a command. Other police officers in the scene did not stop the said crime and only watched the incident.
Miami Herald reported that officials from the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) will not release the details about the death of the inmate.
They only said that this case was "an isolated incident occurred involving a use of force."
Sources also told that Howell suffers from a broken neck. After he was done beating, other officers went to revive him but failed to do so.
The organization wants officers to be punished
It was reported that due to the misdemeanor acts of the correction officer that killed Howell, organizations planned to demonstrate outside of State Attorney Brad King's office, whose jurisdiction includes Lake County, in order to serve some justice with the death of the inmate.
"These brutal attacks must stop in our Florida Correctional Institutions," Hart, D-Tampa, said in a statement. "This is not the first time the use of force has caused injury or death to inmates at this facility."
