Background
The Baker Correctional Institution was a state prison for men located in Sanderson, Baker County, Florida, owned and operated by the Florida Department of Corrections. Since November 2009, Baker's mission has been to "prepare inmates for work release and aid in a successful re-entry into society." The facility has a mix of security levels, including minimum, medium, and close. Baker Correctional Institution opened in 1978 and has a maximum capacity of 1165 inmates. In July 2015 two inmates died within a week: Antonio Gallashaw on the 28th, and Denis Robinson on the 30th. In 2021, Baker Correctional Institution, along with New River Correctional Institution and Cross City Correctional Institution, was closed temporarily due to a staffing shortage.
