List of Florida State Prisons

The Florida Department of Corrections is divided into four regions, each representing a specific geographical area of the State. Region I is the panhandle area, Region II is the north-east and north-central area, Region III is the central area, and Region IV is the southern area of the State.

There are several types of prisons in Florida, ranging from community work release centers to maximum security units.

The State of Florida operates almost all of its major prisons and most of its lesser facilities. Privately operated prisons in Florida are called "Correctional Facilities" (i.e. Lake City Correctional Facility) while state operated prisons are called "Correctional Institutions" or "Prisons" (i.e. Union Correctional Institution or Florida State Prison).

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, florida, state and/or prisons:

    “Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
    —Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    “I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.”
    —Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    “In Florida consider the flamingo,
    Its color passion but its neck a question.”
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    “[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
    —Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

    “Yes, it is the hour at which, long ago, I felt happy. What always awaited me then was a light and dreamless sleep. But something had changed because, with the wait for tomorrow, it is my cell that I have found. As if the familiar paths traced in the summer skies could lead to prisons as well as innocent slumbers.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
