All Weekend Visitations Canceled At All Florida Prisons Due To Irma
September 7, 2017
The Florida Department of Corrections has canceled all visitations for this weekend due to Hurricane Irma, including those at Century and Santa Rosa correctional institutions.
All weekend visitations are canceled, according to FDOC, due to travel restrictions and to ensure staff resources can be maximized for hurricane response.
The cancellation includes all major institutions, work camps, community release centers and annex facilities.
Department staff are working around the clock to make necessary precautions for inmates in facilities statewide, according to a press release. Water and food supplies are being brought in and evacuation determinations will be made in the best interest of the inmates and public safety.
In the event of an evacuation, announcements will be made upon completion. Inmate locations will be posted on the website approximately 24-hours after relocation, per the Florida Department of Corrections standard protocol.
