Martin Work Camp Release Identity
Martin Correctional Institution Work Camp belongs to the Florida Department of Corrections and sits within the Martin C.I. complex. Its name describes a state correctional component associated with the Martin C.I. main unit. It does not create a separate county booking population, sheriff roster, or local release-feed jurisdiction.
The distinction controls every search step. A person assigned to the work camp has an FDC offender record. The six-character DC number follows the person through state locations, sentence history, release, and state supervision. A Martin County booking number belongs to a different system and cannot substitute for the DC number.
Martin Work Camp Release Destinations
A person completing an FDC term may leave the Martin C.I. complex for the community, either with no further state supervision or with a supervision status that follows. Another person may move to the Martin C.I. main unit, another FDC prison, or a community release center. Those moves can change the public location without ending correctional custody.
| Recorded movement | Custody meaning | Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Work camp to main unit | FDC custody continues within the complex | Current Facility and movement history |
| Work camp to another prison | FDC custody continues at a new institution | Current location and sentence detail |
| Community release setting | May remain an FDC correctional placement | Status, location, and release action together |
| Release to supervision | Physical prison custody ends; state monitoring follows | Release Date plus Supervised Population record |
| Discharge to community | The documented FDC custodial term ends | Release Date and Date Out-Custody |
| Transfer to another authority | FDC control ends but other custody may begin | FDC disposition and receiving-agency record |
The phrase “released from the work camp” can refer only to departure from that component. The FDC history must show whether the broader state term also ended.
Search Martin Work Camp Releases
Begin with the database that matches the likely status. The FDC menu separates people currently held, people released from state custody, people under state supervision, and people listed as absconders or fugitives.
- Open the FDC offender-search menu and select Inmate Population if the person may still be in state custody.
- Enter the DC number when available. Otherwise use first and last name, aliases, and the interface controls.
- Open the full detail and inspect Current Facility, Current Custody, sentence history, and Current Release Date.
- For a completed term, choose Inmate Releases and read Release Date with each Date In-Custody and Date Out-Custody period.
- For release to supervision, open Supervised Population and confirm type, status, office, begin date, and scheduled termination.
- If the detail shows only a new FDC location, treat the event as transfer unless the release history establishes otherwise.
The FDC offender search form is the statewide route assigned to the Martin C.I. work-camp population.
The county’s live jail search is the wrong database because work-camp assignments are state prison records.
Martin Work Camp Record Fields
FDC’s public detail does not always use a single plain status word. Read the fields as a sequence. Identity and sentence data establish the person; location and custody fields show the current record; release and incarceration dates document the end of a period.
- DC number
- The person’s six-character FDC identifier across state facilities.
- Current Facility
- The location shown for a person in the current population database.
- Current Release Date
- The public projected date shown for a current state prisoner.
- Release Date
- The release field displayed in the Inmate Releases detail.
- Date Out-Custody
- The end of a recorded state incarceration period.
- Supervision Type
- The state community status recorded after prison custody when applicable.
A custody classification is not a direct statement that the person remains at the work camp today. Likewise, a Release Date should be checked against custody periods and any later state term.
Martin Work Camp Release History
The released-offender detail demonstrates why a state history remains useful after a person drops from the current prison population. It can retain identity, photograph, DC number, Release Date, sentence entries, and the start and end dates of incarceration periods.
The public FDC release-history example shows the field arrangement used in the state system.
The example is a model for reading the fields, not evidence about any other person. Match the intended record by DC number and identity details.
Martin Work Camp Release Dates
For a person still in the FDC population, the public profile labels its projected field Current Release Date. Florida law calls the underlying administrative calculation a tentative release date. It may change as credit, gain time, forfeiture or restoration, court orders, consecutive cases, detainers, and release actions change.
For applicable Florida sentences, incentive gain time may not cause release before 85 percent of the term imposed. That rule does not turn a sentence into a simple calculator. Offense date, sentence date, statutory exclusions, mandatory terms, life sentences, and individual eligibility may alter the result. FDC performs the state calculation.
An actual Release Date is historical. It should be read with Date Out-Custody and the sentence history. Neither field promises that no other authority took custody after FDC acted.
Martin Work Camp Data Updates
The FDC Inmate Population database receives a complete weekly refresh, while release dates and locations update nightly. Inmate Releases updates nightly. Supervised Population and Absconder records receive full weekly refreshes, with termination dates and locations updated nightly.
These schedules explain why a fresh movement can appear in stages. They do not guarantee a same-hour reflection of a court order, transfer, or physical departure. If the work-camp assignment, release date, and sentence record conflict, contact FDC Classification or Admission and Release rather than choosing the newest-looking field.
Note: Nightly FDC updates do not convert a location change into proof that the person has completed state custody.
Request Martin Work Camp Records
The research identifies no separate public records office for the work camp. Use FDC’s statewide Public Records Center and identify Martin Correctional Institution Work Camp as the component connected to the request. Supply the full name, DC number, and narrow date range.
Ask for existing admission, release, movement, and out-of-custody records. State which field or document is needed. FDC may estimate costs, review and redact protected material after payment, and decline to create a new record or perform research and reformatting. Request nonexempt portions rather than assuming the full institutional file is public.

The FDC Public Records route covers state institutional records and explains the department’s estimate and redaction process.
Section 945.10 protects categories such as medical, investigative, safety-sensitive, and victim information. The proper court clerk separately keeps the judgment or amended sentence.
Martin Work Camp Contact Limits
The research supports the work camp’s identity as a component of the Martin C.I. complex but does not establish a separate public street address, telephone number, hours, or capacity for the work camp. Those details should not be borrowed from the main unit and presented as work-camp-specific facts.
Use FDC’s statewide records assistance at 850-717-9774 for public-record routing. Classification and Central Records lists 850-488-9859 and central.classification@fdc.myflorida.com. Admission and Release lists 850-488-9167 and dc.release@fdc.myflorida.com. Ask which route holds the needed existing record instead of assuming that the main institution’s general contact can certify every work-camp event.
Martin Work Camp Release Supervision
A departure from the work camp can lead to state community supervision. The FDC Supervised Population profile can show a Supervision Begin Date, Current Location, Current Status, Supervision Type, and Scheduled Termination Date. FDC notes that this database does not cover county probation.
Parole and certain other release-authority actions fall within the Florida Commission on Offender Review’s jurisdiction. If FCOR acted, use the actual Commission Action with the FDC release and supervision histories. A hearing agenda only shows planned business and does not establish a granted release or immediate departure.
Martin Work Camp ICE Transfers
Research Angle K concerns a possible custody handoff after a county jail booking. MCSO says it cannot disclose immigration-hold information through Martin County Jail and directs those county-jail questions to ICE. That rule does not place work-camp prisoners under MCSO control and does not make the sheriff the source for FDC release records.
For a person whose custody history includes the work camp, verify the FDC event first. If FDC records a transfer to another authority, follow that receiving agency. If an older MCSO booking shows an ICE pickup, pair the county disposition with ICE or ERO records. In both paths, transfer means custody may continue.
Confirm Martin Work Camp Discharge
Reliable proof uses the person’s FDC Release Date, Date Out-Custody, sentence history, and any supervision entry. A simple change from “Martin C.I. Work Camp” to another location is not enough. For broader custody context, the Martin County released-inmate search distinguishes an earlier sheriff booking from the later state-prison term.
If the record stays ambiguous, request the movement and release documents by DC number and date range. A sentencing order can explain the term, while the FDC record shows the correctional action. Together they distinguish a work-camp departure, an internal state transfer, a community release placement, physical release to supervision, and final discharge.
