EXCERPT:
EXCERPT
3: (Chapter 12: CODIS)
Later
in July.
Back
in the 1990s the FBI initiated its DNA database known as the Combined DNA Index
System, or CODIS. With more than ten million profiles, CODIS, which gathers DNA
from crime scenes, suspects and convicted criminals has solved 143,000 cases.
Every six months the Federal Bureau of Prisons takes a DNA sample from those
prisoners not already sampled. At FDC Miami that constituted most of the
prisoners, as it is a facility that houses prisoners facing trial, sentencing or
awaiting transfer to their designated prison.
Prisoner
Princess Jane Doe noticed five federal employees that she hadn’t seen enter
before enter her wing. The guard yelled, “Lock-up! Everyone return to their
assigned cells, now!”
Looking
out her window, she noticed two or three prisoners being let out to sit in the
common area with one heading to the counselor’s office to where the five
federal employees disappeared.
“What
do you make of this lockdown, Cellie,” Jane Doe asked Laura Holmes.
“Either
they are investigating criminal activity or a series 100 violation involving
one of us; but I think we would have got wind of that. It could be they want to
swab our mouths for DNA.”
The
thought of a government taking her DNA upset Zaydee. “Shit, how can I get out
of that”, she inadvertently said out loud. Her mind raced, ‘It might have
something to do with my hacking through the prison computers as an
administrator with the computers down since yesterday, supposedly for system
upgrade.’
“If
you refuse they will either put you in the SHU or restrain you to get their
way.” Just then the guard unlocked their door and pointed to the lower level.
“Wait down there for your name to be
called.”
“Princess
Doe”, another guard shouted.
She
entered the counselor’s office and said, “I have not been convicted of any
crime, therefore I am exempt from your sample collection requirements.”
“We
can send you to the SHU or forcibly extract your DNA,” the middle-aged federal
agent with the graying buzz-cut said in a deep Floridian drawl.
It
dawned on Zaydee that the middle-aged man was no low-level, federal employee.
“I
know my rights, if you violate them, the judge and the press may not be
amused.”
“No
problem, we can get an order from the judge, then what will you do?”
