Look Up Graceville Work Camp Inmates

Graceville Work Camp Overview

Graceville Work Camp is part of the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) system. The FDC facility directory lists it in its work camps, forestry camps, and road prisons section for Region 1, and labels it a male facility. It sits on Ezell Road in Graceville, in the northwest corner of Jackson County, near the larger Graceville Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility. The people held here are sentenced Florida state prisoners. They are not pretrial county detainees, and they did not arrive straight from a street arrest.

A work camp is a lower-custody setting. Florida assigns inmates to a work camp when their custody level, sentence, and record fit that kind of placement, often near the end of a longer term or for prisoners who hold a lower security rating. Older official FDC material listed Graceville Work Camp at Security Level 3, with medium, minimum, and community custody categories. Community custody is the lowest supervision level, which fits the work-camp idea of inmates who can be trusted with more responsibility than those held at a high-security prison.

This matters for anyone trying to find a person. A state work camp runs on a different system from the Jackson County jail. The county jail on Penn Avenue in Marianna handles local arrests, booking, and short county sentences. Graceville Work Camp handles state custody for lower-custody sentenced men, so the lookup runs through the state, not the county.

Graceville Work Camp Capacity and Population

No current standalone population count for Graceville Work Camp was found in the official sources reviewed. The only sourced figures come from an older Jackson Correctional Institution PREA audit from 2015, which listed the work camp at the time. Read the numbers below as historical 2015 figures, not as a live tally. They show a design capacity of 196 and a lawful capacity of 287, with an audit-time population of 274 in that report.

The 2015 PREA report also noted an audit-time population of 274 for the work camp. Because that figure is more than a decade old, it should not be treated as the current count. State prison and work-camp numbers shift as inmates transfer, finish sentences, or move between custody levels. No newer official standalone population source for Graceville Work Camp was located in this research pass, so the only honest statement is that the current count is not published in the sources reviewed.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Graceville Work Camp

Because this is a state work camp, you do not call the Jackson County jail or search a county roster to find someone here. You use the Florida Department of Corrections offender search at the FDC Corrections Offender Network. That free public database covers felony offenders sentenced to FDC prison or state supervision. It does not include county jail inmates, county probation, or other local supervision. So it is the correct tool for a Graceville Work Camp inmate and the wrong tool for a brand new local arrest.

1. Open the FDC offender search and choose the inmate-search form.
2. Type a last name or first name, or enter the DC Number if you have it.
3. Run the search, then open the matching profile from the result list.
4. Read the detail page to confirm the inmate is housed at Graceville Work Camp and to see offenses, status, and any release information.

You can preview the offender search through the official Florida Department of Corrections offender search portal before you start.

The screenshot shows the search fields you fill in to find a sentenced state prisoner. Once a profile opens, it confirms the current facility, which tells you whether the person is at Graceville Work Camp, the nearby Graceville Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility, or another Florida prison.

The locator gives you a small set of search fields. Knowing what each one does makes the search faster and helps when a common last name returns a long list.

Note: The FDC search states that custody location, status, and release dates can change quickly, so confirm a result by phone before you travel to the camp.

Graceville Work Camp Address and Contact

The Florida Department of Corrections facility directory lists the work camp address and phone below. Use the main phone number for general facility questions and to confirm an inmate is held here before a visit. For mail, money, and visitation steps, follow the statewide FDC rules covered further down this page. The camp shares the Ezell Road area with the larger Graceville prison, so check the offender search to confirm which facility holds the person.

Visiting Someone at Graceville Work Camp

State custody visits work differently from county jail visits. You cannot just show up. The Florida Department of Corrections requires every visitor to be approved before a visit, and it requires a visit to be scheduled in advance. Approval starts with the FDC Visitation Application, Form DC6-111A, which can be mailed to the inmate's classification department or emailed to the facility's visitation mailbox. The Department says processing takes roughly 30 days, so plan ahead.

Once a visitor is approved, weekly visits must be scheduled through the offender-search flow within a set window each week. Walk-ups are not accommodated without a scheduled slot. The table below lays out the process as requirements rather than fixed door hours, because the real control is approval and scheduling, not a posted day-and-time grid.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Graceville Work Camp

Contact with a sentenced inmate at Graceville Work Camp follows statewide Florida Department of Corrections rules. Routine inmate mail is handled through electronic delivery, where letters are processed and scanned at a central point rather than dropped directly at the camp. Legal and privileged mail follow separate rules. Phone calls run through ConnectNetwork and AdvancePay. Money for an inmate account goes through Correct Pay, the FDC money-transfer provider since May 1, 2024.

These are statewide FDC channels, so they apply to Graceville Work Camp the same way they apply to other Florida prisons. Always confirm current vendor details before you send anything, since providers and account steps can change.

Reception and Work-Camp Assignment at Graceville Work Camp

A work camp does not book people the way a county jail does. There is no street-arrest intake here. A person arrives at Graceville Work Camp only after a court has convicted and sentenced them to Florida state prison and the Department of Corrections has assigned them to a work camp. The path runs through reception and classification first, which is where FDC reviews the sentence, weighs custody needs, and decides where the inmate goes.

Classification is what sends a prisoner to a work camp rather than a higher-security prison. Older official material placed Graceville Work Camp at the medium, minimum, and community custody levels, which are the lower end of the FDC scale. An inmate may move into a work camp as their custody level drops, and may move out again if their status changes. That is why someone can show up at Graceville Work Camp on one search and at a different Florida facility on the next. The offender search always reflects the current assignment.

For anyone tracking a case from the start, the route runs from a Jackson County arrest and county jail booking, through court, to a sentence, and then into FDC custody, where lower-custody inmates may land in a work camp. The custody side moves to the state, but the court case itself stays local. You can read more about that local custody step on the Jackson County jail inmate records page.

About Graceville Work Camp

Graceville Work Camp is one of several state and federal facilities physically located in Jackson County. That is why the phrase Jackson County inmate population can be confusing. The county jail in Marianna holds a few hundred local detainees, while state facilities hold many more sentenced prisoners who are physically in the county but in state custody, not county custody. Anyone arrested in Jackson County and later sentenced leaves the county jail and becomes an FDC inmate, while the original county court case stays with the Jackson County Clerk.

The work camp sits next to the larger Graceville Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility on Ezell Road, so the two often come up together. They are separate listings in the FDC directory, with their own addresses and phone lines. If a search points to the main Graceville prison instead of the work camp, the contact and visitation rules still follow the same statewide FDC structure, just with that facility's own details. Because the only sourced capacity and population figures for the work camp date to a 2015 PREA report, treat any count you read for it as historical unless a newer official figure is published.
