MIAMI (CBSMiami) – It was an early morning one Miami Dade Corrections Officer says she will never forget. A frightening free-for-all, she recalled as inmates went out of control on the 6th floor of the Miami-Dade Jail.

A camera captured some of the chaos when the officer said she was attacked.

In a phone interview with CBS4 Chief Investigator Michele Gillen, the officer said, β€œIt was a traumatic and devastating experience. Physically and emotionally.”
