the numbers to call to demand the release of journalists from the stockade jail
when i called the ftaa unified command, they gave me this number to call instead --
miami dade police dept 305 471 1900
and the miami dade police dept. gave me this number --
turner guilford knight correctional center and stockade -- tgk 305 470 7600 i think turner guilford knight -- tgk is the actual jail. i talked to the 'shift commander' who then transferred me to someone else, who was pretty helpful. this person (clark) said that she was shocked that a reporter was arrested and would do what she could to help. ana hasn't been processed yet by tgk but i am going to keep calling. clark said she'd be on shift until 6.30 am.
