Inmates at several prisons in Florida were left with untreated medical problems and were denied basic items such as toilet paper in conditions described by one lawmaker as “inhumane,” The Miami Herald reported Thursday.

Democratic representative David Richardson toured Tomoka Correctional Institution last Saturday and saw an inmate with an open wound that had reportedly been left untreated for four days and another, who was vomiting in his cell, reportedly had not been given an inhaler for his asthma for over a month.

In a series of visits to prisons overseen by the state’s embattled prisons agency, Richardson also noticed necessities such as soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pillows and sheets were missing for a number of cells.

Prisoners most at risk of being without such items appeared to be those being held in solitary confinement, Richardson noted.

How do you think these criminals treated their victims?

Amen to this. How much mercy if any should they be given when they make it as clear as crystal glass that such a thing is never once on their own minds?

God bless you and their victims always!!!
