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:

    “Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

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

    “George Shears ... was hanged in a barn near the store. The rope was thrown over a beam, and he was asked to walk up a ladder to save the trouble of preparing a drop for him. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I am not used to this business. Shall I jump off or slide off?” He was told to jump.”
    —For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “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)
