Find Inmates at Hamilton Correctional Institution Annex

Hamilton Correctional Institution Annex Overview

The annex is operated by the Florida Department of Corrections at 10650 S.W. 46th Street in Jasper, the same address as Hamilton Correctional Institution. It is an adult male state-prison annex, listed by the department as a satellite unit of the main institution. People held at the annex have been sentenced to Florida state prison, so they are found through the statewide locator and not through the Hamilton County jail roster.

Because the annex is part of the larger Hamilton complex, it shares the institution's warden office and many statewide procedures. It is still its own unit with its own bed count, and a search should confirm whether a person is listed at the annex specifically or at the main institution. Both sit well outside the county jail system that handles local arrests.

Hamilton Correctional Institution Annex Capacity and Population

The Department of Corrections facility page lists a capacity of 1,138 for the annex. A separate current population for the annex on its own was not published apart from the complex-wide PREA audit, which covered Hamilton Correctional Institution as a whole, so only the annex capacity is stated here as a standalone figure.

The complex-wide 2024 PREA audit listed a designed capacity of 3,104 and a current population of 2,102, and stated the facility was not over capacity in the prior 12 months. Those numbers describe the whole Hamilton complex rather than the annex alone. For scale, the Florida Legislature's research office counted 2,187 state inmates physically held in Hamilton County as of June 2020, far above the county jail's average daily population, which shows how much of the local custody picture is state prison rather than county jail.

How to Look Up an Inmate at the Annex

Use the Florida Department of Corrections inmate population search, the same statewide tool used for every state prison. It searches by name or DC number and is free to the public. The county jail roster does not list anyone held at the annex.

The official annex facility page shows the annex address, capacity, phone, and visiting hours.

That page confirms the annex as a distinct unit, while the statewide locator is what actually returns an individual inmate's status.

1. Open the Department of Corrections inmate population search.
2. Enter the last name, or the DC number if known.
3. Check whether the current facility is listed as the annex.
4. Open the profile for custody status, sentence history, and release date.

Hamilton Correctional Institution Annex Address and Contact

The annex uses the shared Jasper address but has its own phone line. Custody confirmation still comes from the statewide locator rather than a facility call.

For mail and deposits, the annex follows the statewide Department of Corrections systems described below rather than a local jail process.

Visiting Someone at the Annex

The annex follows the same state visiting framework as the main institution. The facility page lists visiting hours of 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST, but a visitor must be approved in advance using form DC6-111A, and there are no walk-up visits without the weekly scheduling form.

Approval is tied to the inmate's current location, so a transfer into the annex can reset the visitor timeline while a new application is processed.

Mail, Phone, and Money at the Annex

Mail, phone, and money all run through statewide Department of Corrections systems, the same ones that serve the main institution. Routine mail is processed through a central center in Tampa, legal mail goes to the institution, and funds can be deposited online, by phone, or by mailed money order.

The department's funds page sets out the deposit options that apply to annex inmates.

Those statewide methods replace any county jail commissary or deposit process, which does not apply at a state prison.

Reception and Classification for the Annex

Like the main institution, the annex receives prisoners through the Department of Corrections reception and classification process rather than street-arrest booking. Reception includes commitment verification, a DC number, a medical exam, fingerprints, a state photo ID, and orientation, with assessments that guide permanent assignment.

That process is why annex housing is determined by custody level, programming, medical needs, and bed space, not by the county where a person was arrested. Custody and transfer decisions follow the same statewide rules used across the system, under Florida Administrative Code Rules 33-601.210 and 33-601.215. The annex draws sentenced men from across Florida, the same as the rest of the complex, so the locator remains the only reliable way to confirm who is held here.

How the Annex Differs From the Main Institution

The annex and the main institution share an address, a warden office, and the statewide rules that govern mail, visiting, phone, and money. What sets the annex apart is that it is a distinct unit with its own bed count of 1,138 and its own facility phone line. A search should confirm which unit a person is actually listed at, because the locator names the specific facility.

For families, the practical effect is small but real. The approval and scheduling steps are the same statewide steps, yet a transfer between the annex and another unit can reset where mail and deposits should go. The state locator is the reliable way to track those moves rather than assuming a person stays at one unit.

Programs and Day-to-Day Life at the Annex

The annex shares the broad program slate offered across the Hamilton complex, and the department notes peer-to-peer dorm programming at the annex specifically. As with any state prison, availability depends on custody level, sentence length, staffing, and bed space, so the list shows what is offered rather than a guarantee of immediate enrollment.

• Adult Basic Education, GED, and Special Education.
• Vocational and work programs such as IN2WORK and OSHA-related training.
• Substance-abuse prevention and outpatient treatment.
• Chaplaincy, re-entry, mentoring, and parenting programming.
• Peer-to-peer dorm programming noted at the annex.

Phone Calls and Calling Hours

Phone service at the annex runs through the same statewide Department of Corrections vendor used across the system, with an account set up in advance through that provider. The calling window does not change from unit to unit.

Calls are available Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST, Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., with an extended window the day before a state-observed holiday. Emergencies and institutional restrictions can change those hours.

About the Annex

The annex is part of a rural state-prison complex in Jasper and carries some serious entries in its public record. A 2024 inspector-general report cited a contraband case at the annex involving a visitor, and earlier federal civil-rights cases led to guilty pleas and sentences for former annex officers tied to a 2020 assault of a handcuffed inmate. Those items are part of the facility's documented history rather than a current, facility-wide allegation.

Like the rest of the complex, the annex holds sentenced men sent from across Florida. Many arrive from county jails statewide, including the Hamilton County Jail after a local sentence, though a person held here may have been convicted in any Florida county.
