Gainesville Work Camp Release Outcomes
Gainesville Work Camp belongs to the state corrections path, not the county booking path. A person may move from the camp to Lancaster Correctional Institution or another FDC facility, enter an FDC community placement, or reach final discharge from FDC custody. Only the last event is a completed state release. The public record must be read for facility, custody status, Current Release Date when active, and Release Date plus in-and-out custody history after discharge.
FDC placement can change without the person's sentence ending. Work assignments, classification, program needs, or agency operations may produce a transfer. The destination and state status therefore matter more than disappearance from a single facility name. ACSO Jail Records can document an earlier county-to-FDC transport, but it cannot prove the later state discharge.
Confirm Gainesville Work Camp Release
Start at the FDC Corrections Offender Network hub. Direct links may lose the selected database or session state, so choose the correct search from the hub. Use Inmate Population for current placement and Inmate Release for completed or scheduled state release information.
- Open the FDC offender-search hub and choose Inmate Population when checking current placement.
- Search by last name, first name, or the six-character DC number and confirm the matching identity.
- Read Current Facility and Current Custody. Another FDC facility means transfer, not discharge.
- Choose Inmate Release Information Search and review the Release Date and incarceration history.
- If the online record is unclear, contact FDC Admission and Release or request the existing state record.
The Alachua County release-record search explains when a county record, state record, court file, or notification tool applies. For Gainesville Work Camp, the FDC record is controlling because this is not an ACSO jail unit.
Note: FDC says Inmate Release information updates nightly, so a very recent discharge or transfer may not appear at once.
Gainesville Work Camp Contact
A 2025 official state procurement addendum lists the work camp at the following address and number and says Lancaster Correctional Institution supervises it. FDC's current public institution directory does not provide a standalone Gainesville Work Camp entry. That mismatch means the listed contact is evidence from the procurement record, not a guarantee of present operations.
Gainesville Work Camp700 NE 55th Boulevard
Gainesville, FL 32641
(352) 955-2045
Historically supervised by Lancaster CI
Operational status was rechecked against current official web sources on July 14, 2026. The 2025 procurement listing remains available, but no standalone current FDC directory profile was found. Call FDC or Lancaster before using the address for visits, mail, or an in-person request. For release data, FDC Bureau of Admission and Release is available at (850) 488-9167 and dc.release@fdc.myflorida.com.
Gainesville Work Camp Status Record
Official procurement material describes Gainesville Work Camp as an FDC minimum-security work camp supervised by Lancaster Correctional Institution. Older official audit material identifies the Gainesville location as a minimum-security state correctional camp. The record supports its state-corrections character, but current public directory silence prevents a firm claim that the standalone operation is open today.
No current population or capacity figure from the assigned research should be presented as a live count. Likewise, older descriptions of work squads, visiting, or building use should not be turned into current instructions. The reliable current task is to check the individual's FDC record and confirm the camp's operating status directly.
Gainesville Work Camp Release Fields
The FDC Inmate Release search accepts first name, last name, and the six-character DC number. Names work as prefix searches, and aliases may be included. A released detail can show a photo, DC number, name, race, sex, birth date, custody, Release Date, aliases, prison sentence history, and incarceration history with dates in and out of custody.
| FDC field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Current Facility | The active state placement, which may change after a transfer. |
| Current Release Date | A changeable calculated date for an active FDC inmate. |
| Release Date | The historical date shown on a completed release record. |
| Date Out-Custody | Part of the incarceration history used to confirm the state episode ended. |
FDC records felony offenders sentenced to state prison or state supervision. It expressly excludes county-jail-only stays and county probation. A blank FDC result should be checked for spelling, aliases, and the DC number, but it must not be replaced with an ACSO current-roster conclusion.
Note: “Current Release Date” is prospective; “Release Date” on a released detail is the completed historical field.
Gainesville Work Camp Transfer Records
State placement can pass through several FDC facilities. The current location may change while the DC number and sentence record remain the same. If Gainesville Work Camp no longer appears as the current facility, compare the incarceration record and active placement before saying the person was discharged. A new FDC facility is clear evidence of continued state custody.
A community release center can also remain an FDC placement. Residence in such a setting may allow structured work or community access, yet final discharge still requires the FDC Release Date and out-custody history. This is particularly relevant when comparing Gainesville Work Camp with Bridges of Santa Fe. Different security and program settings do not erase the common FDC custody record.
Gainesville Work Camp Release Records
When the public screen does not settle the issue, request the existing FDC admission and release record. Identify the person by name and DC number, provide the date range, and ask for incarceration in-and-out dates, release computation or history, and the last facility information that can be disclosed. FDC reviews requests under Florida public-record law and its corrections exemptions.
The FDC public-records custodian is listed as Attention James Best, Florida Department of Corrections, 501 S Calhoun Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399. Assistance is available at (850) 717-9774. Central Records is (850) 488-9859. These statewide contacts are more reliable for a discharge record than an uncertain local operations line because FDC maintains the offender record even if a satellite facility closes or changes status.
Note: Facility closure or consolidation would change location facts, but it would not erase the person's statewide FDC custody and release history.
Reconfirm Gainesville Work Camp Operations
The evidence supports a careful two-part statement. An official 2025 procurement addendum listed Gainesville Work Camp at 700 NE 55th Boulevard, gave (352) 955-2045, and identified Lancaster supervision. A current standalone institution profile was not found in FDC's public directory during the July 2026 recheck. Procurement and directory sources therefore do not fully align.
Before travel, mail, visiting plans, or a facility-specific call, contact FDC or Lancaster and ask whether Gainesville Work Camp currently operates, whether the person is placed there, and which office now handles local matters. Check current placement through the FDC offender-search hub, and use the FDC Inmate Release search for a completed state discharge. Do not infer closure solely from directory absence, and do not infer present operation solely from a procurement list.
