The Taylor Correctional Institution is a state prison for men located in Perry, Taylor County, Florida, owned and operated by the Florida Department of Corrections.[1]
This facility has a mix of security levels, including minimum, medium, and close, and houses adult male offenders. Taylor first opened in 1994 and has a maximum capacity of 1301 prisoners.
The adjacent Taylor Annex opened in 2002 as a youth offender facility, then converted into a facility for adult males in 2005. It has a maximum capacity of 1409 inmates.[2]
In 2014 two correctional officers were charged with multiple felonies for ordering a Taylor inmate, David Powell, to be killed. Powell, who had threatened to expose the officers' lucrative smuggling operations, escaped two stabbings without serious injury.[3]
