Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Cross City Correctional Institution
To find someone at Cross City Correctional Institution, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or the Florida Department of Corrections inmate search. Jail rosters and inmate search tools typically list a person’s name, booking or custody date when available, charges or offense information, assigned location, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest or transfer. Processing, identification, classification, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly booked or transferred person may not be searchable right away. If no record appears, check again later or contact the facility or the agency that made the arrest.
FAQs

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Cross City Correctional Institution?
Because this is a state correctional facility, most inmates here are serving sentences and bail usually does not apply. If the person has a pending court case or bond issue, contact the court clerk, the county jail, or the attorney handling the case for current bond information.
What happens during the intake process at Cross City Correctional Institution and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, complete screening, assign housing, and enter information into the correctional system. Records may take several hours or longer to appear online after booking, transfer, or processing, so check the official search tool again if the person is not listed right away.
