Tomoka correctional officer Donna Fitzgerald was stabbed to death by an inmate in June 2008.[2] An investigation by the DOC's inspector general officially blamed the warden and officials for "critical security breaches, gross neglect of duty, and ineptitude."[3]
In 2014 eight Tomoka inmates died in custody, more than any other Florida (non-hospital) state prison. Although some of those deaths were unexplained, the FDLE declined to release any information.[4]
