Facility and institutional associations
Florence Detention Center
The custodial label above is printed as published. It is not matched to a facility in this site's directory, so no facility record is joined to this person.
Why a facility name is not a finding of responsibility
Custodial records associate this person with this facility. This does not by itself establish that the facility or its operator caused or could have prevented the death.
