A tuberculosis scare triggered a quarantine at the Federal Detention Center in downtown Miami while awaiting test results, which delayed a trial and canceled attorney conferences and social visits.
When the test came back negative, federal marshals announced services would return to normal Wednesday.
The Southern District of Florida Blog, run by criminal defense attorney David Oscar Markus, broke the story, writing, “FDC-Miami is still shutdown due to a supposed TB scare.” It posted an email from marshals providing an update on the quarantine after an inmate showed signs of the disease a week ago.
