Visitation
Visiting at Cross City Correctional Institution starts with paperwork. Complete a visitation application and submit it by email or U.S. Mail, then wait until the inmate notifies you that you've been approved before making the trip. Anyone 12 or older must apply, and only one application per person is allowed. Once you arrive, expect searches of visitors and belongings—refuse a search and your visit can be denied, plus you may be suspended from future visits. Follow the dress code closely. Prohibited items include halter tops, undergarment-type tees, fishnet or see-through garments, skin-tight clothing, dresses/skirts/shorts more than three inches above the knee, and military-style camouflage. Visitors 16 and older need a valid photo ID. You may bring limited cash for vending (up to $50 in specified denominations), but you can't give money directly to inmates.

Looking for someone at Cross City Corrections Institution? Focus on Florida DOC identifiers. A DC# is unique to one person and carries over across different periods of supervision or incarceration—helpful when records span multiple bookings. Florida uses separate search systems for state and federal inmates, so pick the right locator before you start. For best results, enter the person's full last and first name and add a date of birth or booking number when you have it. Booking-date filters can also narrow the list. Once you get results, confirm identity by checking name, DOB, booking date, charges, location, and any bond information. Keep in mind that online rosters can lag or contain errors.
