Search Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex Inmates

Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex Overview

The Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex is operated by the Florida Department of Corrections, with Santa Rosa Correctional Institution as its parent institution. It holds sentenced adult male prisoners and shares the East Milton Road campus and many of the same contacts as the main institution, including warden Ronnie Quinn. As an annex, it is administratively tied to the parent prison while operating its own housing and programs.

Because it is a state facility, the annex population does not appear on the Santa Rosa County jail roster. Sentenced men here are searched through the Florida Department of Corrections locator. The annex is paired with the main institution in FDC records, so the two are often searched together. A search that returns the parent institution and one that returns the annex both point to the same East Milton Road campus, which is why confirming the exact facility in the locator avoids a wasted trip.

Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex Capacity and Population

The Florida Department of Corrections lists a capacity of 1,188 for the annex, for adult men. As with other FDC facilities, the institution page publishes a capacity rather than a live daily population, so use the state locator to confirm whether a specific person is currently held at the annex.

How to Look Up an Inmate at the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex

Use the Florida Department of Corrections Inmate Population Information Search, the same statewide tool used for any state prisoner. It includes photographs for many inmates, is refreshed weekly, and updates location changes nightly. Search by name or DC number, then confirm the listed facility.

The FDC annex profile shows the facility's details and program list.

The locator itself, linked below, is where you confirm a person is held at the annex rather than the main institution.

1. Open the FDC offender search menu.
2. Choose the Inmate Population Information Search and enter a name or DC number.
3. Confirm the current facility lists the Santa Rosa Annex.
4. Open the profile for the offense, sentence, and reception details.

How Annex Custody Differs from the County Jail

People often start a search at the wrong place because a county jail and a state prison annex feel similar. They are not. The county jail holds people before trial and for short local sentences and is searched on Jail View. The annex holds sentenced felons in state custody and is searched through the Florida Department of Corrections. The table below lays out the split.

Florida Inmate Search Tools for the Annex

The Florida Department of Corrections puts several search applications on one Corrections Offender Network menu, and the right one depends on the question. For someone serving time at the annex, the population search is the tool, but a relative tracking a release or a supervision case may need a different one.

• Inmate Population Information Search for people currently incarcerated, with photos for many.
• Inmate Release Information Search for people released or scheduled for release, updated nightly.
• Supervised Population Information Search for probation, parole, and community supervision.
• Search All Corrections Offender Databases for a broad pass using criteria common to every database.

The population data is refreshed weekly, while location changes and release dates update nightly. If a name does not appear in one tool, trying the release or supervision search often explains why.

State Prison Terms Worth Knowing

State custody comes with its own vocabulary, and a few terms make the annex profile and the locator easier to follow.

DC number

The Department of Corrections identifier assigned at reception and used across the state system.

Reception

The intake of a sentenced person into state custody, where classification and placement begin.

Parent institution

The main prison an annex is tied to administratively; here that is Santa Rosa Correctional Institution.

Re-entry dorm

Housing dedicated to preparing inmates for release through structured programming.

Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex Address and Contact

The annex uses the same East Milton Road address and main line as the parent institution. Warden and chaplain contacts are shared with Santa Rosa Correctional Institution.

Visiting Someone at the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex

Visiting follows Florida Department of Corrections rules, which require an approved visiting list and scheduled sessions. The annex publishes the same morning and afternoon visiting windows as the parent institution, in Central time.

Confirm approval, dress code, and items allowed through the FDC statewide visiting information page before you go.

Mail, Phone, and Money at the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex

Mail, phone, and deposits go through Florida Department of Corrections systems, addressed with the inmate's name and DC number. The state runs its own telephone system and money-deposit channel, separate from any county jail vendor.

Reception and Classification at the Annex

Inmates reach the annex after sentencing and reception into state custody, not from a county booking. The Florida Department of Corrections assigns a DC number and a custody level, then places the person where housing and program needs fit. A person convicted in Santa Rosa County may move from the county jail into state custody and could be assigned to the annex, which is why a name can shift from the local roster to the state locator over time.

Where the annex stands out is the back end of that journey. Because it pours so much into vocational training and a structured re-entry track, it tends to hold people working toward release rather than the most restrictive cases. The re-entry dorm, the re-entry simulator, and the biannual re-entry seminar are built to ease the transition home. For a family member, that focus shapes what programs an inmate may be enrolled in and what the path out of custody can look like.

Re-entry and Vocational Programs at the Annex

The annex stands out for how much of its schedule points toward release. Vocational training is the centerpiece, taught in partnership with Northwest Florida State College and the University of Florida and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. The goal is a trade or credential a person can use on the outside, paired with a structured re-entry track.

• Carpentry, plumbing, and welding with Northwest Florida State College
• Florida-friendly landscaping and a beginning farmer program with UF and IFAS
• Global logistics and warehousing, plus Aramark IN2WORK
• A re-entry dorm, re-entry simulator, and biannual re-entry seminar
• Substance-use outpatient care, anger management, and the Family Integrity Program

Education runs from adult basic education through GED, and faith-based and family programs such as Kairos and Celebrate Recovery fill out the calendar. The complete list is maintained by the Florida Department of Corrections.

Directions to the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex

The annex shares the East Milton Road campus with its parent institution at 5850 East Milton Road. From Interstate 10, take Exit 31 toward Milton and Navarre, go north on State Road 87 about a mile to U.S. 90, then continue straight across U.S. 90 and the railroad tracks onto East Milton Road and follow it about a mile to the campus. Because the annex and the main institution sit together, confirm with the Florida Department of Corrections locator which one holds your person before you arrive.
