How to Find an Inmate at Marion 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. Inmate records typically list identifying information such as the person’s name, inmate number, current location, custody status, offense or charge information, and sentence or release details. County jail rosters may also show booking date and current charges. Records do not always appear immediately after a transfer or booking because intake and processing can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested in Marion County and is not listed here, check the county jail search or contact the arresting agency.
