FLORENCE, Colo.—The man serving as interim warden for the federal prison that holds some of the country’s most notorious criminals has been named its new warden.
Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Felicia Ponce on Tuesday confirmed that Blake Davis was named to replace Ron Wiley at the so-called Supermax prison in Florence, Colo. Prison officials said last month that Wiley was retiring effective Oct. 1.
Davis has been interim warden at Supermax and the Florence Federal Correctional Complex since mid-July, when Wiley announced his retirement.
Inmates at the maximum-security prison include Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols and convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid.
