Santa Rosa Correctional Institution


Santa Rosa Correctional Institution is a state prison for men located in Milton, Santa Rosa County, Florida, owned and operated by the Florida Department of Corrections. The facility opened in 1996 with a mix of security levels and a capacity of 1614. It is often considered one of the “toughest” and “most dangerous” prisons in the state of Florida.
The adjacent Santa Rosa Correctional Institution Annex opened in 2006, and houses another 1478 inmates at the same security levels.
Also nearby is the privately operated Blackwater River Correctional Facility with Florida state inmates.
