Find an Inmate at Century Correctional Institution

Century Correctional Institution Overview

Century Correctional Institution is operated by the Florida Department of Corrections at 400 Tedder Road, Century, FL 32535. The phone is 850-256-2600, and the FDC page reviewed lists Robert Flores as warden. It is an adult-male prison holding sentenced felons in state custody, and the FDC identifies satellite units including Century Work Camp and Pensacola CRC. The screenshot below shows the FDC Century Correctional Institution page.

Because Century is a state prison, the people held here are sentenced FDC inmates, not county pretrial detainees. Being arrested in Escambia County does not mean a sentenced person lands at Century, since the state can assign an inmate to any of its prisons across Florida. The institution carries a listed fax line and a named warden on the FDC page reviewed, and its satellite units extend the facility beyond the main compound. None of that changes the basic rule that the FDC offender search, not the county jail roster, is the tool for anyone in state custody.

Century Correctional Institution Capacity

The FDC lists Century's capacity at 1,345, and the facility is for adult males. A current daily count is not published on the FDC facility page reviewed, so it is not shown here. Capacity and live population are separate measures, and the prison count is not part of the Escambia County jail population even though Century sits inside the county. The figures below come from the FDC Century page as of 2026.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Century Correctional Institution

Use the Florida Department of Corrections offender search, not the county jail roster. The FDC database covers felony offenders sentenced to state prison or under state supervision, and it states plainly that it does not include county jail or county probation cases. The screenshot below shows the FDC offender search.

1. Open the FDC offender search.
2. Search by last and first name, or by DC number if you have it.
3. Confirm the offender's current facility shows Century before assuming they are housed here.
4. Open the profile for offense history, sentence data, and status.

A DC number is a six-character state identifier, either numeric or one letter and five numbers, and it does not work as a county booking number. For state-records questions, FDC lists Bureau of Classification and Central Records at 850-488-9859.

Century Correctional Institution Address and Contact

The prison handles its own visiting, mail, and records through FDC systems. Use the address and phone below for facility questions.

Visiting Someone at Century Correctional Institution

State prison visiting is different from county jail visitation. Visitors generally must be approved and scheduled through FDC before a visit, and the rules come from the Florida Department of Corrections visiting information, not the county. The FDC page reviewed lists visiting hours of 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Central time, which should be verified before traveling, since FDC pages update. County video-visitation rules do not carry over to a state prison, so a family used to the Escambia County jail process should expect a different system entirely at Century, built around an approved visitor list and FDC scheduling rather than a county vendor app.

The FDC visiting information page carries the current statewide rules.

Mail and Money at Century Correctional Institution

Mail, phone, and funds for a Century inmate run through FDC systems, not the county's Access Corrections process. Use the FDC contact-an-inmate rules for mail and the FDC funds page to send money. Do not use county jail deposit instructions for a state prisoner. The Access Corrections process that the Escambia County jail relies on is a county system, and sending money that way will not reach an inmate held in FDC custody at Century.

Reception and Classification at Century Correctional Institution

People do not arrive at Century through street-arrest booking. After a felony conviction and sentencing, an inmate enters FDC reception and classification, which decides the assigned prison and custody level. Someone sentenced from Escambia County can be sent to Century or to any other state prison, so the FDC locator, not the county roster, is what confirms a current assignment. The path most local inmates take is from the Escambia County jail through sentencing and then into FDC custody, at which point the search shifts from SmartWEB to the offender locator. The FDC page also lists satellite units tied to Century, including Century Work Camp and Pensacola CRC, so a profile may place a person at one of those units rather than the main institution.

What the FDC Locator Covers and Excludes

The Florida Department of Corrections database holds public-record information on felony offenders sentenced to state prison or under state supervision. It expressly states that it does not contain people sentenced to county jail, county probation, or other non-FDC supervision, which is the exact gap that sends so many searchers in circles. Someone still in the county jail will not be in the FDC system, and someone already transferred to prison will not be on the county roster.

FDC also warns that its information can change quickly and may not reflect a person's true current location, status, or release date. The database includes current and prior offenses for an FDC-sentenced person, and the offense detail there is drawn from court records. For records questions, FDC lists its Bureau of Classification and Central Records line. Treat the locator as the official starting point, not as a guarantee of a live location.

Getting to Century Correctional Institution

Century sits in the far north of Escambia County near the Alabama line, well away from Pensacola. The FDC page gives directions from I-10 in Pensacola: take Exit 10, go north on US-29 for about 31 miles, then turn at Tedder Road. The drive is long compared with reaching the county jail, which is one more reason to confirm an inmate's current FDC assignment before traveling, since a state inmate can be housed at any prison in Florida and can be transferred between them.

About Century Correctional Institution

Century has an unusually deep program list for a state prison, which is part of what sets it apart and makes its FDC page the richest facility source in this research. On the academic side, FDC lists Adult Basic Education, GED, a library literacy program, and a technology lab. The vocational tracks are broad, running through HBI residential carpentry and cabinetmaking, IN2Work with Aramark, Northwest Florida State College, and a Pensacola State College tiny-homes enterprise, along with small-business certification.

Substance-abuse programming runs through contracted Gateway Foundation services, including a therapeutic community and outpatient options. The chaplaincy list is long, with Alcoholics Anonymous, Catholic Mass, Celebrate Recovery, Kairos, Kolbe, and Spanish services among the offerings. Reentry and betterment programs include Compass 180, the Jack Brewer Fatherhood Initiative, a peer motivational dorm, a veterans dorm, faith and character dorms, GROW, REAP, and an 84-bed Community Release Center. State prison conditions fall under FDC oversight, including the Inspector General inspection and investigation duties in Florida Statutes § 944.31, which apply to state facilities rather than the county jail.
