Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Century Correctional Institution
To find someone housed here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or the Florida Department of Corrections inmate search. Inmate records typically list the person’s name, inmate number, location, sentence information, offense details, and custody status. For people newly transferred or processed, records may take several hours or longer to appear because intake, identification, and database updates must be completed first. If the person was just arrested in Escambia County, first check the county jail roster, since pretrial detainees are usually held at the local jail before any state prison transfer.
