Find an Inmate at Zephyrhills Correctional Institution

How to Search

Go to dc.state.fl.us/OffenderSearch/Search.aspx and enter the person’s first and last name, or their DC number if you already have it. Submit the search to see current custody status and facility.

Why the Result Might Show a Different Location

Zephyrhills Correctional Institution operates the Transitional Treatment Home of Tarpon Springs, an 84-bed community release center for inmates nearing release. If your loved one has moved into this transitional program, the search result may reflect that specific location instead of the main Zephyrhills campus. Call 813-782-5521 to confirm.

What the Results Show

The FDOC Offender Search typically returns the inmate’s DC number, current facility, custody status, admission date, and projected release date, along with basic physical description details.

Why Someone Might Not Appear as Expected

Recently transferred: A move to or from Zephyrhills CI, including a transfer into the Tarpon Springs transitional program, can take time to reflect in the system.

Transferred to a different facility: Inmates move between Florida state prisons throughout their sentence. If the person no longer shows up at Zephyrhills, check their current listed facility in the search results.

Recently released: If someone’s sentence ended, they may no longer appear in the active offender search.

Confirming Before You Visit or Send Anything

Facility placement and program status, especially transitional programs like the one at Tarpon Springs, can change without much notice. Confirm the person’s current location before planning a visit, sending money, or mailing something.
