Locate Calhoun Work Camp Releases

Calhoun Work Camp Closure Status

The current FDC Calhoun CI listing marks Calhoun Work Camp temporarily closed. That label controls how the satellite is described. It is not a county work-release center, a probation office, or a separate active jail. Older records can still name it because they preserve where an FDC prisoner was housed during an earlier period.

Temporary closure does not erase historical incarceration records. It changes the current contact and search route. Questions about a former assignment should go through FDC's statewide records system and the Calhoun CI complex contact. No distinct current release schedule, current visiting program, or separate Work Camp records office is supported by the research. A date from an old audit cannot override the live closure notice.

Calhoun Work Camp Release Paths

Historical residents of the Work Camp remained in Florida Department of Corrections custody. A move to Calhoun Correctional Institution's main unit, another state prison, a hospital, or court was a change of placement. It did not end the prison sentence. The statewide FDC record follows the person across those locations and separates institution history from an actual release event.

A true state release may occur at sentence expiration or under an authorized release mechanism. Some people leave prison under supervision, so physical exit and final discharge are not always the same event. The FDC incarceration history should show a date-out entry, while the community-supervision history can show a later period under state control. For the narrow legacy group eligible for parole, the Florida Commission on Offender Review may also have an action in the record.

The release destination cannot be inferred from the words Work Camp. Search the person's current status, release history, and any receiving agency or supervision office. If the last event is a transfer, continue with the receiving institution rather than reporting a community release.

Confirm Calhoun Work Camp Release

The official FDC Offender Search is the correct public route. It covers state prison and specified community-supervision records. The dedicated inmate-release search is useful for people released or scheduled for release, while the all-databases option helps when the person's current category is not known. A county jail roster cannot trace an FDC assignment.

Use a short, evidence-based sequence:

1. Search the six-character DC number when available, or use full name and identity fields.
2. Match aliases, birth date, sentence county, case, offense, sentence date, and term.
3. Find Calhoun Work Camp or Calhoun C.I. in historical institution entries without treating it as current.
4. Read Current Status and the exact Current Release Date field in context.
5. Confirm an actual date-out entry in incarceration and release history.
6. Review community-supervision history to see whether state control continued after prison.

A photograph can help distinguish records, but it should not stand alone. The DC number and sentence data are stronger identifiers. The Calhoun County released inmate search explains when to switch to a county, court, federal, or immigration source.

Calhoun Work Camp Release Records

When the public detail does not resolve a historic placement or date-out event, use the FDC public-records route. Supply the person's name, DC number, birth date, and the approximate Work Camp period. Request the existing incarceration and release history, location history, release type and date, and community-supervision history. Specify whether an electronic record is sufficient.

The statewide custodian is the proper source because the Work Camp is closed and never formed a separate county records system. The research identifies James Best, Custodian of Public Records, Florida Department of Corrections, 501 South Calhoun Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399. Records assistance is available at (850) 717-9774. FDC also publishes Classification and Central Records at (850) 488-9859 and central.classification@fdc.myflorida.com.

Ask for exact existing fields rather than a new explanation. If any portion is withheld, request the nonexempt remainder and the legal basis for the redaction. FDC cannot supply the release transaction for an unrelated county jail booking.

Note: A narrow date range and DC number help separate the Work Camp assignment from other state placements in the same sentence.

Calhoun Work Camp Contact Route

No separate current Work Camp contact was documented. Use the Calhoun Correctional Institution complex route and state clearly that the satellite is temporarily closed. The current institution listing gives the main complex address and phone. It also lists the Warden's Office email. These are routing contacts, not evidence that the Work Camp has resumed operations.

The official FDC institution source is captured below and covers both the main prison contact and current satellite notice.

The capture ties the historical Work Camp name to the active statewide custodian without inventing a stand-alone office or phone number.

Calhoun Work Camp Release History

An FDC PREA audit published in 2015 described the Work Camp as opened in 1995. Older materials also describe support for the main unit and outside crews. Those sources are useful for understanding why a historical FDC file may carry a Work Camp placement. They are not proof of present operation, current programs, current population, or a current release gate.

The facility's past role can produce several location entries in one sentence history. A person might move between the satellite and main Calhoun CI, then to another FDC institution. Each is a state placement. The meaningful release evidence is the incarceration date-out combined with current status, not the last local unit name.

Satellite

A unit associated with a main FDC institution and governed by the same state records system.

Transfer

A move between custodial locations while confinement continues.

Release

The recorded end of the prison custody episode under an authorized mechanism.

Discharge

The end of the sentence or supervision obligation shown by the responsible agency.

This historical framing also keeps Calhoun County, Florida separate from facilities with similar names in other states. The state, DC number, and FDC agency label should appear in every record match.

Calhoun Work Camp Detainer Records

FDC release details can include detainer information where available. A detainer is an agency notice or request that can affect what happens when one authority's custody ends. It may identify another county, a federal authority, or an immigration agency. A date-out from FDC should therefore be read with any displayed detainer and receiving-agency information.

Calhoun County's 2019 ICE Warrant Service Officer agreement concerned county jail releases from criminal custody. It is historical evidence about CCSO handoffs, not a Work Camp operating rule. A former Work Camp resident's immigration or federal transfer must be confirmed from the person's actual FDC record and the agency named there. Do not import the county agreement into a state-prison history.

If the public detail is unclear, ask FDC Admission and Release or Central Records for the release type and destination fields. When ICE is named, its current detainee locator may help locate present custody, but it does not serve as a permanent state discharge archive. When USMS is named, federal court records and the proper federal agency route become relevant.

Two Calhoun Release Custodians

Blountstown has a county jail and an FDC prison complex. This creates a common records error. The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office jail source answers whether someone is shown in the local jail. FDC Offender Search answers whether someone is in state prison, under listed state supervision, or recorded in state incarceration history. The systems are not interchangeable.

A person arrested in Calhoun County might later enter an FDC institution in another county. Another person housed at Calhoun CI or its former Work Camp may have been sentenced far from Calhoun. Search terms such as Calhoun inmate can refer to arrest place, sentencing county, prison location, or residence. The agency and record type must settle which meaning applies.

The active Calhoun Correctional Institution release path uses the same statewide FDC record but has distinct current facility details. Keeping the pages separate preserves the Work Camp closure while showing the shared custodian.
