Role in the death-penalty system

Florida State Prison is located in the Raiford area and is the operational focus of Florida execution-day media briefings.

The prison is associated with both the electric chair era and the later lethal-injection era.

Several widely discussed problematic Florida executions took place in this system, including those of Jesse Tafero, Pedro Medina, Allen Lee Davis and Angel Diaz.
