Union Corrections Inst., Fl

Union Correctional Institution participates in Florida's Prison TIPS program. Materials and reporting instructions are available in Spanish, and caller confidentiality is emphasized. Prison TIPS walks you through submitting a report and includes guidance on inmate and public phone contact. For everyday communication with someone incarcerated in Florida, facilities typically offer email/e-messaging, phone calls, voicemail, and remote video visits—though exact services and rules vary by location. Electronic messaging usually requires creating an account and paying fees, and both messages and visits are screened under vendor and facility rules. For statewide administrative questions or appeal-related issues, the Florida Commission on Offender Review maintains a Tallahassee office with a public phone number and address.

Union Corrections Institute supports gift ordering through iCare Gifts. You shop an online catalog tailored to the facility, and iCare handles fulfillment and delivery. The process is simple: locate the incarcerated person in iCare's system, browse the Union Corrections Institute catalog, and check out online. For traditional letters, facilities typically separate mail into general correspondence (opened and inspected by staff) and privileged/legal mail (opened only in the inmate's presence)—though exact handling varies. To avoid delays, address every envelope with the inmate's full name, booking/ID number, and your return address. Stick to plain paper and permitted envelopes. Rules around scanning, digital delivery, and acceptable items can change across Florida facilities, so confirm current format requirements on the facility page.

For routine questions about inmate status, booking, or everyday concerns, you'll usually get faster answers by starting with the facility's webpage and non-emergency front desk/booking line rather than calling state offices. For immediate threats to life or public safety, use local emergency services. Escapes or absconders should go through appropriate state reporting channels. Records and court-related questions often require a formal request—by form, email, fax, mail, or online portal. Vendor problems (phone service, deposits, commissary) are typically handled through the third-party vendor's customer service.

The program invites businesses to become industry training partners inside prisons, helping strengthen job programs and credentialing opportunities for incarcerated individuals. Employers can also join as "fair chance employer" partners, supporting people leaving prison while addressing labor and retention challenges.
