Tomoka Correctional Institution, FL

Tomoka Correctional Institution requires a visitation application before you can visit. Once submitted, wait until the inmate tells you you've been approved—don't show up hoping for the best. Anyone 12 or older must complete the application, and you only get one per person. Take your time filling it out. Leaving blanks or providing false information will get your application denied. Worse, false info counts as a second-degree misdemeanor and could permanently ban you from visiting. Follow Tomoka's submission instructions carefully, and check the facility's visitor materials or inmate handbook for scheduling details.

Tomoka Correctional Institution uses GTL/ConnectNetwork for phone service. Each incarcerated person gets one free call per week, up to 5 minutes. Paid calls within the North American Dialing Plan cost $0.135 per minute, and individual calls can last up to 30 minutes. After each completed call, there's a mandatory 30-minute wait before the next one—plan your conversations around that. To receive calls, set up an AdvancePay prepaid account linked to your phone number and add funds. Questions about billing, accounts, or service? ConnectNetwork/GTL has live reps available 24/7 at 866-732-9098.

Tomoka Correctional Institution uses JPay for mailed deposits. Send a money order (payable to JPay) along with the vendor deposit slip to JPay, PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026. Each deposit slip accepts money orders up to $999.99. Include a copy of your photo ID—driver's license, state ID, or passport all work. The form also requires a valid email and mailing address; without them, your money order won't be processed. Good news: JPay doesn't charge fees for money orders, cashier's checks, or certified bank drafts. Approved deposits process within ten business days after JPay receives them. Since JPay isn't responsible for items lost in the mail, consider using a trackable mailing option. One important requirement: only people with current "approved" status on the inmate's visiting record can send funds.

Looking up someone at Tomoka Correctional Institution is easiest with their DC# (Department of Corrections number). This unique identifier stays with a person across all periods of supervision or incarceration, making it the most reliable way to find someone in state DOC records. Florida has multiple inmate search tools run by different agencies—state DOC results cover state-prison inmates and those under state supervision, while local and federal systems cover other populations. When searching, start with last and first name. Add date of birth or a booking number if you have it, and use filters like booking date ranges to narrow results. Always verify the details you get back (DOB, location, charges, booking info) since public rosters can lag behind, change quickly, or leave out final dispositions.
