Death Of Century Correctional Institution Inmate Under Investigation
June 26, 2018
A weekend inmate death at Century Correctional Institution is under investigation.
Inmate Wesley C. Moore, 38, was pronounced deceased at the prison shortly after 7:00 p.m. Saturday.
The death is currently under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, with assistance from the Department’s Office of the Inspector General, according to Patrick Manderfield, press secretary for the Florida Department of Corrections. He declined to release further information due to the active investigation and privacy laws. He did not specify if the death appeared to be natural or suspicious.
Moore was serving a three year, nine month sentence out of Okaloosa County for possession of a controlled substance and failing to comply with sexual offender registration requirements. He was previously convicted of unlawful sexual activity with a minor age 16-17 and robbery.
Moore’s death was the 15th inmate death at Century Correctional Institution since 2013 and the ninth since January 2017.

This prison need to be shut down. All the people who family member that passed at this prison need to get together boycott the prison and have it shut down. THE FAMILY OF THESE MEN DON’T DESERVE THIS PAIN THEY ARE SUFFERING WITH.
Discipline should be applied with enthusiasm and swiftness.
If there is nothing to fear or dread, there is no behavior inhibitor.
Give me a month and the authority to apply my techniques, they would all be model prisoners.
The comment from CO pretty much spells out what a lot of the problem is, as well as a need to strengthen laws that help to protect CO’s and prison workers from harm. It’s a battle of Us against Them to keep contraband (anything that disrupts the orderly running of the institution or causes harm or threats of violence) out of the prisons. Think of it like prohibition – can’t have it? If I can get it and sell it to you, I can make a fortune. That would be another inmate, dirty staff or friends and family who assist in bringing this stuff in. K2 makes some who smoke it go crazy. We’ve had staff assaults at our prison due that stuff. Recently, an inmate who put his hands on a staff member was tried and had a year added to his existing sentence – day for day. Not eligible for gain time. At any rate, there are things that people who don’t work in prisons don’t understand in terms of how it affects behavior on the inside. Inmates don’t care if it’s got bug spray on it or not as long as they can smoke it, etc.
Sad, drugs going in these prisons by family members, drones, even guards, and foodservice employee’s… think there not suppose to have a cell phone either?
I worked in corrections for over 26 years…you can not predict human behavior..if you could .. I would be a rich man
.
They gonna hang themselves… they gonna kill one another.. and gonna escape.
It’s that simple..
REGARDING:
“Most of the deaths have come from inmates smoking synthetic marijuana that has been sprayed with bug spray.”
Therefore, you could save several hundred criminals per year by providing them with marijuana on demand. Or increase it by providing them with meth on demand.
And they can avoid the risk altogether by avoiding actions which might result in their incarceration in the first place.
David for good choices
Duke of Wawbeek,
You may not know this but this is a prison with lots of violent inmates. Most of the deaths have come from inmates smoking synthetic marijuana that has been sprayed with bug spray. Check out Santa Rosa Correctional, they have probably had twice the deaths that century has. Its not just at century it is state wide.
Fifteen inmate deaths in five years! What are you operating, a slaughter house?
Someone needs to be placed in charge!
Remove the restrictions over our Corrections officers, take off the gloves, reintroduce the blackjack,
The other alternative is to stop complaining.
I was there in the mud 90’s. Nobody died. Now 15 in 8 years. Seems to me like there killing folks over there. Nobody cares because it’s a prisoner well that’s just to bad. I care though. There prisoners not animals and that’s how we were treated then and it seems the same way now except the guards must think there above the law and can do what they want. So for all the guys in there I’ll say it for you. Do ur job 8 and the gate. Your there to watch them nothing more. Your job is not to punish them. The judge did that.
