Jefferson Correctional Institution Releases

Jefferson CI Release Destinations

Jefferson Correctional Institution is operated by the Florida Department of Corrections, or FDC. It is not an annex of Jefferson County Jail. A person can leave this state prison for the community with no further FDC supervision, enter probation, community control, conditional release, or parole where legally applicable, or move to another authorized custodian. A transfer within FDC changes the institution but does not end state imprisonment.

The public evidence chain depends on the event. The FDC Inmate Population Search shows current state custody and the portal's Current Release Date field. The Inmate Release Information Search covers people released or scheduled for release. A completed record should be read for a past Release Date and Date Out-Custody. The Supervised Population Search answers whether state supervision continued afterward. Commission records may matter for the limited parole-eligible population and certain conditional-release decisions.

Confirm Jefferson CI Releases

The FDC Corrections Offender Network menu separates databases by custody meaning. Start with the DC number when known because it is FDC's primary six-character identifier. A name search uses begins-with matching and can include aliases. Compare the birth date and other identity details before opening a record. County-jail-only cases are outside the state database, while Jefferson CI prisoners belong to this statewide source.

1. Open the Inmate Population Search to check whether the person remains in FDC custody and to read the Current Release Date field.
2. Open the Inmate Release Information Search and enter the DC number, or use first and last name with identity checks.
3. Read Release Date, Date Out-Custody, sentence details, prison history, and stated residence when that field appears.
4. Check Supervised Population for a post-prison status and supervising location.
5. Ask FDC Admission and Release or Central Records to resolve a conflict or obtain the maintained record.

The official FDC search menu visually separates release, population, supervision, and absconder sources.

Choosing the correct database keeps a scheduled date, completed release, and later supervision from being collapsed into one status.

Jefferson CI Release Date Labels

Florida records use related labels that are not interchangeable. Current Release Date is the exact label displayed on an FDC Population detail. Section 944.275 uses tentative release date for a gain-time projection. Maximum Sentence Expiration Date marks the endpoint of the imposed term as adjusted under the statute. A completed custody episode appears through Release Date and Date Out-Custody on release and incarceration-history records.

Scheduled dates can change. Gain-time can be granted, restored, or forfeited. Court credit, added or corrected sentences, concurrent or consecutive terms, new cases, offense-specific exclusions, detainers, and Commission decisions can affect the operative result. For covered offenses, Florida law applies an 85-percent service floor, but a reader should not hand-calculate a promise from the sentence length. FDC maintains the official computation.

Current Release Date

The portal's anticipated date on a current population detail.

Tentative release date

The statutory projection affected by gain-time under section 944.275.

Release Date

The date field on an FDC release record, read with custody history.

Date Out-Custody

The historical field supporting the end of an FDC custody episode.

The official FDC population example demonstrates the Current Release Date label.

The screenshot is an interface example only and should not be turned into a personal narrative about the displayed offender.

Note: Preserve FDC's exact date labels because Current Release Date and completed Date Out-Custody describe different stages.

Jefferson CI Release Record Contacts

FDC provides specialized contacts for state-prison release questions. The Corrections Offender Network menu identifies the Bureau of Admission and Release for clarification of a release entry. Central Records handles population and classification questions. Formal public-record requests can be directed through the FDC Public Records page or Public Records Center. Ask for existing records with the DC number and a date range rather than asking the agency to create a calculation or answer an open-ended history question.

A focused request can seek the maintained release date and mechanism, Date Out-Custody, public movement or destination field, sentence-computation record or public portion, and offender photograph. FDC states that it need not create a new record, rearrange data into a format it does not maintain, or answer questions in place of producing records. Its cited page provides estimates and describes payment and review but gives no fixed turnaround or release-record retention period.

FDC Central Records can be reached at (850) 488-9859 or central.classification@fdc.myflorida.com for the state record questions in its scope.

Jefferson CI Post-Release Supervision

Release from state prison and discharge from all FDC authority are different events. The Supervised Population Search covers state probation, community control, conditional release, parole, and other FDC supervision categories. It can show supervision type, status, dates, offense information, and supervising location. FDC says general supervision data refreshes weekly, while termination dates and location changes update nightly.

Parole is limited in modern Florida. The Florida Commission on Offender Review remains the decision body for people who are legally eligible under older or narrow statutory categories and for other Commission release mechanisms. A meeting agenda shows that a matter was scheduled, not that release was granted. Obtain the written Commission decision when that record controls. Most current Florida prison sentences should not be described as parole cases without source support.

Jefferson County has an FDC field office in Monticello. Office 023 at 1455 South Jefferson Street can help after the person is matched to an FDC supervision record. It is not the correct office for a county-jail-only probation outcome.

Note: An absconder result records a later supervision issue and does not undo the earlier Jefferson Correctional Institution release event.

Jefferson CI and County Jail

Jefferson County has two active correctional facilities in the Monticello area and a historic old-jail landmark. Jefferson Correctional Institution is the FDC prison at 1050 Big Joe Road. Jefferson County Jail is the JCSO facility at Industrial Park. County roof-recovery documents identify the working county jail, while the 2024 FDC-hosted PREA audit separately identifies Jefferson CI. Similar local names do not make the custodians interchangeable.

A Jefferson County criminal case does not prove that the person was housed at Jefferson CI. Likewise, a county jail transfer to FDC does not show which state institution ultimately received the prisoner. FDC's Population record supplies current state location. A prison transfer between FDC institutions is not a release. The county intake report cannot show a Jefferson CI discharge, and an FDC record does not cover a person whose custody ended only at the county jail.

Use the full institution name and DC number in a request. For a broader cross-system release path, consult the Jefferson County release search and keep each booking or prison episode separate.

Jefferson CI Audit Facts

The FDC-hosted 2024 PREA audit identifies Jefferson Correctional Institution as a state prison at 1050 Big Joe Road, Monticello, Florida 32344. It reported designed capacity of 1,348, a reporting-point population of 1,265, and an average daily population of 1,267 during the prior twelve-month audit period. These are dated audit figures. They must not be presented as a current 2026 census or used to infer how many people are due for release.

The official audit and the FDLE correctional-facilities directory support the institution's identity, address, and operator. The audit supplies the dated figures. Its screenshot capture failed because the browser began a PDF download, so no unrelated image is substituted here.

Facility statistics do not confirm an individual's custody status. Use the current FDC databases and maintained release record for that purpose. The audit population also cannot show which people were close to a sentence date, under a detainer, awaiting transfer, or eligible for a particular release mechanism.

Jefferson CI release questions should stay focused on the named person and custody episode. Match the DC number, note the date the online data was current, and preserve the labels exactly. If the Population and Release searches appear to conflict, save both records and ask the Bureau of Admission and Release for the maintained entry. For an accomplished departure, seek the past Release Date and Date Out-Custody. For a person who remains in state custody, use the Population detail and current institution. For someone under community supervision, confirm the separate Supervised Population entry and supervising office. This method prevents dated facility totals from being treated as person-level evidence.

Note: Audit population figures describe a past facility period and cannot establish any named prisoner's current release status.
