Florida City, FL Dade Correctional Institution View
Dade Correctional Institution is a Florida state correctional facility in Florida City, Miami-Dade County, operated by the Florida Department of Corrections. It primarily houses sentenced adult inmates who have been committed to state custody, rather than local pretrial detainees awaiting court. The facility’s role is to provide secure custody, supervision, and correctional programming for people serving state prison sentences. Local arrests, first appearances, and most short-term detention matters in Miami-Dade County are generally handled through the county jail system, while state institutions such as this one manage inmates after sentencing and transfer to state custody.

How to Find an Inmate at Dade Correctional Institution
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link provided on this page. State and jail rosters usually allow searches by name or identification number and may list the person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offenses, custody status, location, and release information when available. Records are not always searchable immediately after arrest, transfer, or intake because processing and data entry can take several hours. If a person was recently arrested in Miami-Dade County, check the county inmate search first; if the person has been sentenced and transferred to state custody, use the Florida Department of Corrections search for this facility.
