If jurors should convict 14-year-old Nathaniel Brazill of murdering his West Palm Beach middle school teacher, the boy would have no contact with adult criminals until he turns 18, under a bill approved Thursday by the Florida Legislature. The House of Representatives unanimously voted for a bill that directs the Department of Corrections (DOC) to house minors who are convicted as adults in a separate prison wing and to feed and exercise them away from older prisoners until they turn at least 18. Administrators could choose to keep them apart until they turn 21, but could expel them into the general population early if they are a discipline problem under the bill, sponsored by Sen. Steve Geller, D-Hallandale Beach, and Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach. The bill still must survive veto review by Gov. Jeb Bush. A governor's office spokeswoman, Elizabeth Hirst, said Bush has not yet taken a position. 'What we basically did was pass a truth-in-sentencing bill,'' Geller said. ``If we want to sentence a child to be raped in prison, we should say so. We do not condone that in a civilized society.' |
