An attorney could assist but this is a matter for paying the attorney's time. I doubt any attorney would take the case con a contingency basis without further investigation and I dont believe any attorney would conduct that investigationwihtout charge.   I  suggest either you retain an attorney or you contact the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Corrections in Tallahassee and report the problem.  I am sure by contacting the department you would be able to obain the correct phone number.
