Miami Lakes, FL — The family of 23-year
old Nairobis Alvarez Cruz faced their worst nightmare this Thursday
when they arrived at a South Florida courthouse to find out 23-year old
Cruz had died while being held in jail.
Although the jail is required to immediately notify the family of the death of anyone in their custody, that did not happen. Upon arriving at the courthouse, Cruz’s parents received a call from an inmate informing them that their daughter died Wednesday.
The inmate said Nairobis was allowed to die in her cell by corrections officers after they ignored her screams for help. “The inmate informed the parents the inmate was dead. They called them. They said, listen, your daughter passed away she had been screaming for help. She said she could not breathe. They ignored her and she passed away,” said the woman’s attorney Sabino Jauregui.
