Miami, FL Everglades Correctional Institution View
Everglades Correctional Institution is a Florida state correctional facility in Miami, Miami-Dade County, operated by the Florida Department of Corrections. It primarily houses adult male inmates who have been sentenced to state prison, rather than people held for local pretrial detention. The facility’s role is to confine, supervise, and provide required services and programming for sentenced state inmates assigned there by the state prison system. Local arrests, first appearances, and short-term pretrial custody in Miami-Dade County are generally handled by county detention facilities, not this state institution.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Everglades Correctional Institution
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate search records typically list identifying details such as the person’s name, booking or received date, charges or offenses, sentence information, facility location, and custody status. Because this is a state prison, records may appear in the Florida Department of Corrections system after the inmate is processed and assigned, rather than immediately after arrest. Processing can take several hours or longer, and records may not show up right away. If the person was just arrested in Miami-Dade County, also check the county jail search because pretrial detainees are usually held in county custody before any state prison transfer.
