FDC provides post-storm update
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — All Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) correctional institutions in the path of the storm continue to check in to FDC’s emergency operations center, which has been operating 24-hrs a day.
Facility damage assessments are ongoing. All correctional institutions remain secure, and inmates are sheltered safely. There have been no reported injuries to on-duty staff or inmates. All inmates have an ample supply of food and water.
The JPay Mail Scanning Center has resumed normal operations and will work through this weekend to clear any backlog of mail caused by Hurricane Ian delays. Phone lines, tablets and kiosks may not be operational due to power outages throughout the state.
