Raiford, FL New River Correctional Institution View
New River Correctional Institution is a Florida state correctional facility in Raiford, Bradford County, operated by the Florida Department of Corrections. It is not a county jail. The facility primarily houses sentenced adult state inmates who have been committed to state custody after conviction, rather than people held locally for pretrial detention. Its role is to provide secure custody, supervision, and correctional programming within Florida’s state prison system. Local arrests, first appearances, and most short-term detention matters are generally handled by the county jail or court system before any eligible sentenced person is transferred to state prison.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at New River Correctional Institution
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or the Florida Department of Corrections inmate search. Jail and prison rosters typically list identifying information such as name, inmate number, custody status, current location, charges or offenses, and key dates such as booking, admission, or sentence information. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest, booking, or transfer because processing and data entry can take several hours. If the person was just arrested in Bradford County, check the local county jail roster first; if the person was sentenced to state custody, search the state inmate database.
