Homestead CI Release Meaning

Homestead Correctional Institution is a Florida Department of Corrections women’s prison. FDC owns the incarceration record. MDCR’s recent county release listing does not cover women leaving this state institution, and a Miami-Dade court search cannot show the full day-to-day prison custody history.

A person can disappear from Homestead CI’s current-location field because FDC moved her to another institution. That is an internal transfer. A true release from state prison appears in Inmate Release Information, where Release Date and incarceration history’s Date Out-Custody can confirm the end of physical FDC custody. Community supervision may then begin or continue.

Search Homestead CI Releases

FDC’s Corrections Offender Network uses separate search types. Choose Inmate Release Information for a person believed to be out of state-prison custody. The DC number is the strongest search key because it follows the person through facility moves. If it is unavailable, search by name and compare all identifying information before using the result.

The state-prison lookup has six useful steps:

1. Open the FDC offender-search menu.
2. Select Inmate Release Information instead of the active county roster.
3. Search by DC number or narrow the name results with the available identifiers.
4. Confirm the matching DC number, aliases, demographics, photograph, and offense history.
5. Read Release Date and Date Out-Custody together with location history.
6. Run the separate Supervised Population search for post-prison status.

A Miami-Dade judgment explains a locally imposed sentence. It does not replace FDC’s release transaction. The county jail’s 72-hour view also cannot prove a Homestead CI departure. The Miami-Dade release search overview helps keep the county jail, state prison, and federal paths apart.

Homestead CI Release Dates

An active FDC record may display a future Release Date. That date is a calculation, not a guaranteed appointment at the prison gate. FDC derives it from controlling sentences, lawful jail credit, and available gain-time. It can change after a court action, disciplinary gain-time loss, restoration of credit, detainer, or sentence recalculation.

Florida Statute §944.275 governs tentative state-prison dates. For covered offenses committed on or after October 1, 1995, FDC may award incentive gain-time within the statute but cannot use it to release a person before 85 percent of the sentence has been served. Court-awarded physical-incarceration credit counts toward that floor. Section 921.161 requires sentencing courts to specify applicable county-jail credit.

After release, the historical Release Date and Date Out-Custody carry a different meaning. They help establish when physical FDC custody ended. They still do not prove that probation, parole, conditional release, or another supervision term ended.

Note: A projected date can move; a historical out-custody entry is the better field for confirming completed prison departure.

Homestead CI Supervision Records

Use FDC’s Supervised Population search after the release record. It can show the supervision begin date, current status, type, scheduled termination date, current location, and related case history. An active result usually means the woman is outside prison but remains under state community-corrections authority.

Probation is supervision imposed by a court. Parole is a separate release mechanism for a limited Florida population and involves the Florida Commission on Offender Review. Conditional release and community control are other legal forms. The public record should name the actual type rather than leaving it to guesswork.

Read Active Suspense carefully. FDC uses the term when a person is temporarily unavailable for direct supervision, such as during custody in another jail or facility, while the supervision case remains monitored. It is not proof of unrestricted community status. The Absconder/Fugitive search is a different database for cases involving unavailable whereabouts and a violation warrant.

Release

The recorded end of physical state-prison custody.

Supervision

Legal oversight in the community after or apart from prison.

Discharge

The recorded end of the applicable custody or supervision term.

Transfer

A move that keeps the person within a correctional system.

Homestead CI Official Source

Homestead Correctional Institution is listed at 19000 SW 377th Street, Florida City, Florida 33034. It shares that campus street address with Dade Correctional Institution, but FDC identifies them as separate institutions. A record for Homestead CI must not be merged with a Dade CI record because the address is the same.

The official FDC Homestead institution page is the source for the facility capture below.

The institution page confirms the facility identity. The statewide person record, not the facility description, establishes a named person’s release or transfer.

Request Homestead Release Records

A formal FDC request can seek incarceration and release history, transfer or discharge transactions, release date and type, the release-date calculation or audit, and a correctional photograph. Include the DC number whenever possible. State that Homestead Correctional Institution is the facility of interest while requesting the statewide history, since movement between prisons may be central to the question.

Submit through the FDC records portal. FDC cites Florida chapters 119 and 945.10. Corrections-security material and other exempt data can be redacted, but a requester can ask for the nonexempt remainder and the statutory reason for any withholding.

Florida’s public-record copy rules allow standard page charges and reasonable special-service fees when work is extensive. A custodian may provide a cost estimate. The public website’s display period is not a records-retention promise, so request the archived source when exact history matters.

Note: Request the statewide FDC history, not just a facility card, because transfers can precede the final release.

Homestead CI Court Records

The Miami-Dade Clerk’s criminal docket may show the judgment, sentence, jail credit, later amendment, or other court action for a locally filed case. Those documents explain legal authority. FDC records show how the state prison system applied the sentence and when physical custody changed.

When web information conflicts, compare the DC number, case number, sentence terms, and custody dates. Obtain a certified court document if the judicial result must be established. Request the calculation audit from FDC if the disagreement concerns credits or the tentative release date. This division avoids asking the Clerk to certify prison operations or asking FDC to recreate the court’s judgment.

A release from Homestead CI may also be followed by supervision through the FDC Miami Circuit or another office tied to the person’s current location. Use the office link in the individual supervision record rather than assuming the institution’s county determines the reporting site.

Homestead Release Record Limits

FDC records can show the end of state custody, but they do not settle every later event. A person may enter another sovereign’s custody, remain subject to a detainer, or continue under court supervision. Read the recorded release type, location history, and supervision result before describing the outcome.

Florida VINE can provide a fast state-reported custody alert, yet it is not a permanent certified discharge record. The FDC release detail and requested transaction remain the better source for the completed prison event. For parole action, an individual written order from the Florida Commission on Offender Review answers a separate question from actual physical departure.

A detainer can affect the destination even when FDC records a completed prison exit. The release record should be checked for the type and next custodian. If another agency assumed custody, its record is needed to describe the later status. The prison release date proves only the end of the FDC episode.

Web access can also change after sealing, expunction, statutory protection, or routine system updates. A missing page does not prove the underlying record was destroyed. Request the nonexempt archived record from FDC and the related court document from the Clerk when the public result no longer answers the question.

Homestead Release Verification

Preserve the DC number, case number, and date the result was checked. If a later screen differs, those details help FDC trace a transfer, correction, or recalculation. A screenshot can document what appeared, but the source transaction remains stronger.

Older parole action may require an FCOR written order. That order shows commission action, while FDC history shows whether physical departure occurred. One record cannot replace the other.

Homestead CI Release Detainers

A Homestead CI release record can show the end of FDC custody while a detainer sends the person to another authority. When immigration custody is named, continue with ICE ODLS, which includes certain released-from-ICE records for 60 days. ICE documentation, Enforcement and Removal Operations information, and the immigration-court case clarify whether the next event was conditional release, transfer, or removal.
