| | Florida Prison Facilities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Upon arrival at a reception center, an inmate is processed, tested, evaluated by health services, assessed for program needs, and his/her custody (security risks) determined. |
 | | Custody is determined by reviewing the seriousness of their offenses, length of sentence, time remaining to serve, prior criminal record, escape history, prison adjustment, and other factors. |
 | | The most serious offenders with the longest sentences and those least likely to adjust to institutional life are placed in more secure facilities. |
