A teenager and his mother are threatening to sue Miami-Dade County (Fla.), claiming the boy was abused by inmates at the county jail. Tuesday night, Xavier Wright took part in a type of scared-straight program. It was an "in-your-face" lecture from inmates about the hardships of life behind bars. But Wright claims the inmates became physically abusive, especially after he refused to do push-ups. Wright's mother, who is a corrections officer, said nothing was done to stop the abuse. Program officials said parents of other teens at the jail that night say their children do not back up Wright's claims. |
