This dataset contains 2017 Law Enforcement Correctional Facilities Information for the State of Florida. It is a combination of sources including existing County, District, and State specific point datasets, and facility addresses from (1) the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, (2) the Florida Department of Corrections, (3) the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, (4) Federal Bureau of Prisons, and (5) Facilities individual websites online. The data contains selected fields denoting the physical address, number, regions, and contact information for Law Enforcement Correctional Facilities and Agencies located in Florida. Law Enforcement Correctional Facilities and Agencies in this dataset consist of Major Correctional Facilities (Prisons), Jails, Road Prisons, Work Release Centers, Work Camps, Juvenile Facilities, Federal Facilities and other correctional facilities. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of correctional facilities. Correctional facility locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. This dataset is an update to the GC_CORRECTIONAL_FEB13 layer.
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers. The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located. Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas. For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route.

Spatial and Attribute Information
The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the 2008 statewide law enforcement correctional facilities data layer. 14 Different Sources Comprise the Law Enforcement Correctional Facility Dataset. The following sources were either reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HPGN map projection or if no spatial data existed they were geocoded to a statewide 2007 TeleAtlas Streets dataset. Once the point sources were created via geocoding or reprojected they were merged into one statewide layer. Record (facility) duplications were removed by manually viewing the table for each of the 67 counties. Where record duplication existed source information of previously corrected FDOT Districts and Regional Planning Council data took preference followed by, County data, and finally geocoded data. Below are the data Sources as described in the Source field in the attribute table.

Tabular data was taken from the Summary of Florida State Correctional Facilities (http://www.dc.state.fl.us/pub/annual/0506/facil.html) and from an official FDOC spreadsheet of locations and contact information. Only facilities listed as major institutions were used in this dataset. That list, broken up by prison facility region, can be found here: (http://www.dc.state.fl.us/facilities/ciindex.html). Facilities were geocoded and individually verified using high resolution imagery. 66 out of 72 records were manually edited to better represent the location of the prison facility. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME. - FGDLAQDATE was added based on date information was downloaded from source. - All fields were upcased Process Date: 20070717 The MJPRIS_JUL07.shp AUTOIDs can now be located in the new statewide layer field OLD_AUTOID. *********************************************************** MONROE COUNTY DATA: http://monroecofl.virtualtownhall.net/Pages/MonroeCoFL_GIS/index EMAIL CRITICALFACILITIES.shp 12/15/2005 Coordinate system name: Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Florida_East_FIPS_ 0901_Feet Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983 *********************************************************** OKALOOSA COUNTY DATA: ftp://ftpgis.co.okaloosa.fl.us/public/Shape%20Files/Service_Facility cfspt.shp 20061004 Coordinate system name: *Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Florida_North_FIPS_ 0903_Feet *Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983 *********************************************************** POLK COUNTY DATA: http://www.polksheriff.org/ http://www.polksheriff.org/le/ Geocoded to TeleAtlas Streets dataset. *********************************************************** SARASOTA COUNTY DATA: http://gis.co.sarasota.fl.us/data_download_page.asp SHERIFFOFFICES.shp 12/30/2007 Coordinate system name: *Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_West_FIPS_ 0902_Feet *Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983 *********************************************************** TGS DATA: TechnoGraphic Inc. data created for FDEM fdem_correctional_aug07.shp Lat Long decimal degrees WGS84 The fdem_correctional_aug07.shp AUTOIDs can now be located in the new statewide layer field OLD_AUTOID. *********************************************************** WEBSITE DATA: Various County websites Geocoded data to TeleAtlas streets ***********************************************************

USNG_FL_1K, OLD_AUTOID, FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, AUTOID, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, ZIPCODE, OPERATING, OP_CLASS, SERVICES, COMMON_USE, USE, YR_BUILT, FGDLAQDATE.
*********************************************************** The GeoPlan Center performed the following layer updates. The information from the GC_CORRECTIONAL_MAR08.SHP was copied to create the GC_CORRECTIOANL_MAY08.shp layer. Next 151 records where the field [TYPE] = 'PROBATION AND PAROLE SERVICES' were deleted from the newly created GC_CORRECTIOANL_MAY08.shp layer. During this process two DTS points were removed, original autoids = 1, and 50. Next two Regional Personal Offices were removed to leave the final feature count at 264. Finally the FGDLAQDATE and AUTOID fields were updated.
*********************************************************** GeoPlan updated the correction_may08 layer using the following online websites (see below); Florida Department of Corrections, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Florida Department of State, and Federal Bureau of Prisons. These websites provided lists of current facilities under their jurisdiction. Each record in the layer was scrutinized and verified to be in its proper location. Once its location was verified appropriate attributes were updated. Facilities no longer deemed operational were removed from the layer. Facilities that have been opened since the last update were manually added. Previous versions of correctional facilities did not include juvenile facilities. These facilities were added to the layer through manual placement. Some minor table restructuring was done to reflect the current table syntax used by GeoPlan.

*********************************************************** GeoPlan updated the correction_jul11 layer using the following online websites (see below); Florida Department of Corrections, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, and Federal Bureau of Prisons. These websites provided lists of current facilities under their jurisdiction. Each record in the layer was scrutinized and verified to be in its proper location. Once its location was verified appropriate attributes were updated. Facilities no longer deemed operational were removed from the layer. Facilities that have been opened since the last update were manually added. Of the remaining 326 feature, 325 were visually verified. Some minor table restructuring was done to reflect the current table syntax used by GeoPlan. Once a point was moved to the proper location, the corresponding parcel(s) were extracted from the 2010 statewide parcel geodatabase (gc_correctionalbnd_nov12). These parcels were assigned the same GeoPlan ID given to the correctional facility's point. Appropriate attributes were extracted from the parcel database and added to this point layer. Additional attributes were added to capture information pertaining to the facility's accompanying parcel including COMMON_USE, USE, and LINK. If a correctional facility is associated with more than one parcel, the information from the parcel deemed primary was used to calculate the fields. These variables as well as, ACRES, and, AYRBLT were updated using the information in the parcels layer. The USNG_FL_1K, LAT_DD, and LONG_DD were also recalculated to account for any spatial changes during the update.

-Four sources were used to add new or missing facilities. A total of 12 correctional
facilities were added. All new records were given a unique GCID. The final point
layer was spatially joined to the 2015 statewide parcel layer, and the GCID field was
populated with a unique ID linking each point feature with its corresponding polygon
layer feature, GC_CORRECTIONAL_JUL16.

Prisons with fences, razor wire or ribbon, electronic detection systems, perimeter towers with armed correctional officers and/or officers in roving perimeter vehicles. Most of these inmates do not reside in cells, but in open bay dormitories with bunk beds. Some exceptions include those confined for disciplinary or security reasons, and those on death row. These facilities are divided into seven levels of security ranging from minimum custody facilities to maximum custody facilities. About 85% of the Florida prison population is housed in a major institution.
Minimum to medium custody facilities, surrounded by fences and razor ribbon. Inmates are usually transferred to a work camp after completing part of their sentences at a correctional institution and demonstrating satisfactory adjustment. Most of these work camps are located next to correctional institutions enabling the sharing of facilities like laundry and health services. The inmates housed at these facilities may be assigned to community and public work squads. Their jobs include cleaning up roadways and right-of-ways, grounds and building maintenance, painting, building construction projects, moving state offices, and cleaning up forests. About 11% of the prison population resides in work camps.
House two categories of inmates: community custody inmates who are participating in community work release by working at paid employment in the community and minimum custody inmates who are participating in a center work assignment by working in a support capacity for the center (such as food services and laundry). They must be within two or three years of their release date, depending on their job assignment. Sex offenders may not participate in work release or center work assignments. There are no perimeter fences, and inmates must remain at the WRC when they are not working or attending programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Inmates participating in work release must save part of their earnings for when they are released in order to pay toward victim restitution as well as room and board. More than 3,000 inmates participate in Florida's work release programs annually, with about 3% of the prison population enrolled at any given time. Work release centers are supervised by the Department's Office of Institutions.
House minimum and medium custody inmates and have perimeter fences. Most of these inmates work on community work squads and the highways doing road work. Their jobs also include support services to state agencies such as collecting recycling materials and moving furniture. Less than 1% of the prison population is housed in road prisons.
Youth placed in Secure Detention have been assessed as risks to public safety, per the DRAI and must remain in a physically secure detention center while awaiting court proceedings. Youth arrested for minor crimes that are not considered a risk to public safety may be released into the custody of their parents or guardian. During FY 2009-10 there were a total of 25,008 individual youth served in secure detention.
Residential Services provides a continuum of care for youth committed to the care and custody of the Department, beginning with commitment management services through placement within residential commitment programs. Commitment management includes the development, maintenance and management of a juvenile commitment management and classification placement system. Unlike the adult correctional system, youths in residential commitment programs must receive educational and vocational services. Juveniles are committed to these programs for an indeterminate length of time. They must complete an individually-designed treatment plan that is based on their rehabilitative needs as one of the requirements for release.
Typically jails are intended to hold persons awaiting trials or serving sentences of less than one year.
The Federal Prison Bureau operates institutions at five different security levels in order to confine offenders in an appropriate manner. Security levels are based on such features as the presence of external patrols, towers, security barriers, or detection devices; the type of housing within the institution; internal security features; and the staff-to-inmate ratio. Each facility is designated as either minimum, low, medium, high, or administrative.
Institutions with special missions, such as the detention of pretrial offenders; the treatment of inmates with serious or chronic medical problems; or the containment of extremely dangerous, violent, or escape-prone inmates.
High security institutions that have highly secured perimeters (featuring walls or reinforced fences), multiple- and single-occupant cell housing, the highest staff-to-inmate ratio, and close control of inmate movement.
Minimum security institutions that have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented; and many are located adjacent to larger institutions or on military bases, where inmates help serve the labor needs of the larger institution or base.
