On 05/24/2022 I attended a county commissioners meeting for Citrus County, Florida, the county the detention facility  the Virgin Island 3 are currently being detained. Core Civic was listed on the agenda, as they are currently being fined $2500.00 a day for failure to meet the contracted amount of staff required. I spoke of the issue of understaffing as related to inmates being neglected in the basic medical care they are required to provide. I will continue to follow the course of the issue and speak on behalf of the inmates whose voices have been silenced and ignored for too long.
