Its role is to support Florida’s state corrections system by housing and managing sentenced inmates according to custody level, medical needs, programming, and facility assignment.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Northwest Florida Reception Center Annex
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters usually list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but a state prison search may instead show the inmate’s name, Department of Corrections number, current location, sentence information, and release date when available. Records do not always appear immediately after booking, transfer, or intake because processing and data entry can take several hours. If the person was just arrested in Washington County and does not appear in the state system, also check the local county jail or contact the arresting agency for current custody information.
