Houses sentenced male adults and adolescents.

The Eric M. Taylor Center was built in 1964 and expanded in 1973. EMTC’s current capacity is 2,250. It houses adolescent and adult male inmates sentenced to terms of one year or less. Most of its housing is dormitory style. Able-bodied sentenced inmates are required to work. They constitute Rikers Island's grounds crews, facility maintenance and industrial labor force.

In July, 2000 the institution's name was changed from the Correctional Institution for Men to the Eric M. Taylor Center in honor of a retired Chief of Department who capped a distinguished career by helping lead the agency to significant gains in jail safety, efficiency and performance.

  • Why do they name these things after the parasites who made a living out of keeping those people in there?
  • What about the money going towards the knowledge and education of are teen youth, that are already most likely caught in the cycle of no father at home. Due to money going towards keeping the community down for a groups own personal gain groups in question are the governing bodies that allow this modern day slavery to exist so intensely. Moral philosophy teaches us that as a whole we should govern the proportions of well being which equals out to wealth which in this case is equivalent to the wealth gained by targeting a certain group of people, which in reality would be the free majority! If it wasn't for the tactics of the laws embedded into are government, also the continued practiced business as usual attitude we as a people not race would be so much farther evolved because are energy would be spent on helping are nation as a whole not as a monetary profit for the few who own these facilities.
