SUMMARY: In Florida, children as young as 12 have been sentenced to adult prison, where many endure solitary confinement, causing severe mental trauma. Ian Manual, sentenced at 13 and later released after a Supreme Court ruling, now advocates against such treatment, sharing his painful experience of isolation. The Florida Department of Corrections calls solitary confinement “close management,” claiming it’s used only for safety concerns, but advocacy groups argue it constitutes child abuse as juveniles’ brains are still developing. Survivors like Catherine Jones, sentenced at 13 and confined for 16 years, emphasize the system’s failures and abuse endured. Efforts to ban youth solitary confinement continue amid ongoing investigations.

Ian Manuel, sentenced to life in prison in 1991 for attempted murder in a downtown Tampa botched robbery at 14 years old, is now sharing his story as an adult.

SUMMARY: Father’s Day weather in South Florida featured warm, sunny conditions with mostly clear skies. Rain chances remained low, confined mainly to the morning with isolated interior showers later. Overnight, light showers could drift across the Keys, and smoke from a brush fire near Krome Avenue and Tamiami Trail may affect areas between Krome and the Turnpike by Monday morning. Temperatures will drop into the upper 70s overnight, with daytime highs near 90°F throughout the week. UV levels are high as summer begins. Breezy conditions may create choppy waters, and rain chances increase slightly to 20% by mid-to-late week.

CBS News Miami’s NEXT Weather Meteorologist Dave Warren says expect mostly clear skies for the rest of Father’s Day but prepare to be possibly impacted by the smoke from the wildfire in Southwest Miami-Dade in the morning before the breeze pushes it more inland.
