Slammed by staff shortages and ‘desperation,’ some North Florida prisons to shutter
The Florida Department of Corrections will soon close multiple prisons in North Florida, a last-ditch effort to grapple with severe staff shortages, according to a union representative who talked to Corrections Secretary Mark Inch about the move on Thursday.
Prison officials plan to shutter Baker Correctional Institution and New River Correctional Institution in the coming weeks, said Jim Baiardi, the president of the Corrections Chapter of the Police Benevolent Association. Cross City Correctional Institution, which has been closed due to flooding damage, will continue to be closed for an indeterminate amount of time.
Some work camps, including Gainesville Work Camp, and smaller prison annexes in other parts of the state may also close soon, Baiardi said.

drug lord Joaquin El Chapo and john Gotti were at, is closing

WELL, AT LEAST MAXWELL, IS LIVING IN BETTER QUARTERS!
…lights turned on 20 hours a day; hourly checks; monitored canteen; monitored legal visits; 2 showers a week!
It is very interesting that several AGENCIES, along with De-Satan VISITED ‘Good Ole’ Suwannee Correctional Institution (probably, one of the most notorious Flori-Duh State Prisons, which are staffed by the most CORRUPT and BALL-BUSTING GUARDS, ANYONE, AS EVER WITNESSED….
-I witnessed 2 Inmates get killed by Guards, there……
…..’Like, I was going to Fill Out a Grievance Form, yea right’
I just kept praying it was not going to be others….which it was, if you had a medical condition and were rushed to Medical…they just left you there to DIE……
Suwannee, reminds me of SHANKSHAW REDEMPTION….still wake up 80% of the time at 430am, when those GUARDS TORCHED those lights on…….PRISON PTSD, probably, but who really knows?!?!?
Truth
You gave me a good laugh. I remembered an interview done by Morgan Freeman about his experience in the movie. He said “No one ever gets the name of the movie right”. And you just proved that.
Maybe you were being sarcastic but the name of the movie is Shawshank not shankshaw LOL He said one lady saw him on the street and yelled “I loved you in the Shimshaw reduction”.
Cry me a river, the only people I feel sorry for, are the inmates.
Other people have pointed out where will they put the 1000 people at those prisons.
I also thought, because I lived in north Florida, there are prisons in almost every county, like ten to fifteen miles apart, roughly. Some guards are not worth anything, some water decent people just trying to provide for their families. Those prisons are the only major employment in town, ie Holmes county. It’s going to affect those families, and that sucks for them. Florida has been dragging those guards for a long time not paying enough and working the heck out of them.
I’m not sad that they are closing places. Some of them are in horrible shape. The three C’s are supposed to be care, custody and control. They have always failed at care in my experience. Hopefully a positive change will come from this. Unfortunately I don’t think the prison population had the proper mindset to influence those changes.
Yup, that’s a shame. 😒
