TTH of Dinsmore CRC State Inmate Search

TTH of Dinsmore CRC Overview

TTH of Dinsmore CRC is run by The Transition House as a Florida Department of Corrections contract facility at 13200 Old Kings Road in Jacksonville. The state facility directory lists it under Community Release Centers, Region 2, as a male contract facility. The men here are in state custody, typically finishing a prison term or in a community-release status, rather than people arrested on a fresh Duval County charge.

The location creates a common mix-up. Because the center is inside Duval County, families sometimes start at the sheriff's roster and come up empty. The reason is simple. This is a state corrections facility, so the people in it belong to the state inmate system. A community release center is geared toward re-entry, easing a state inmate back into the community under supervision and program support.

TTH of Dinsmore CRC Capacity and Population

The Florida Department of Corrections facility directory did not list a capacity or daily population for this contract center in the source reviewed, so no figure is stated here. A community release center is usually a smaller and lower-security setting than a main prison. Whatever its count, it is part of the statewide corrections population the state tracks, separate from the county jail figures the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office reports each year.

The lack of a published number does not change where the facility sits. TTH of Dinsmore CRC is one of two state contract community release centers inside Duval County, and its beds belong to the statewide corrections total rather than the county jail figures. Any population count for it would appear in the state system, which is another reason a search for someone here runs through the Florida Department of Corrections and not the sheriff.

How to Look Up an Inmate at TTH of Dinsmore CRC

Search the Florida Department of Corrections offender network for anyone held here, since the county roster does not cover state custody. The state lets you search the inmate population, releases, and supervised population, and it refreshes inmate information weekly with release dates and location changes updated nightly.

1. Open the Florida Department of Corrections offender network menu.
2. Pick the Inmate Population Information Search for a person currently in custody.
3. Enter a last name, first name, or the six-character DC number.
4. Open the record to confirm the assigned center and custody status.

Only if the same person was separately booked into the county jail on a local charge would they show on the sheriff's roster, which is explained on the jail inmate records page.

Florida Corrections Records and Update Times

The records behind this center run through the Florida Department of Corrections, not the county jail process. The state offender network breaks into several searches rather than one box. There is a combined search across every database, then separate searches for the inmate population, releases, escapes, the supervised population, and absconders or fugitives. Reach for the combined search first when a person's status is unknown, and use the population search when you know they are currently held.

The state publishes how often each search updates, which explains the occasional lag. Inmate population details and photographs refresh weekly, while release dates and location changes update nightly. Release information updates nightly, and the supervised and absconder searches refresh weekly with those same nightly exceptions. A record that trails a known transfer by a day is usually just sitting inside one of those windows.

For answers the online search cannot give, the state lists direct contacts, including the Bureau of Classification and Central Records for population questions and the Bureau of Admission and Release for release questions. Those state offices, rather than the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, hold the records for anyone at this center.

TTH of Dinsmore CRC Address and Contact

The address and phone below come from the state corrections directory. Since a contract operator runs day-to-day operations, specific visiting and mail steps are best confirmed by calling the center directly.

Visiting Someone at TTH of Dinsmore CRC

State visitation works through approval and scheduling rather than the sheriff's video-visit system. The Florida Department of Corrections requires a visitor to be on the approved list and to follow department rules and hours. The reviewed state directory did not publish a visiting schedule for this contract center, so check the days, hours, and approval process with the facility and the department before you plan a trip.

State visiting differs from county video visits in pace as well as process. A visitor usually has to be approved ahead of time and cleared against the department's rules, which can take longer to arrange than a county video slot. Because a contract operator runs the center day to day, the surest move is to call first, confirm the visitor is approved, and ask for the current days and hours before driving out to the Dinsmore area.

Mail, Phone, and Money at TTH of Dinsmore CRC

Contact and deposit rules here follow the Florida Department of Corrections, unless the contract operator adds a stricter local instruction. The state explains the basics of writing, calling, and funding a state inmate through its contact-an-inmate guidance. The exact mailing format and deposit vendor for this center were not detailed in the reviewed source, so confirm them with the facility before sending anything.

How Inmates Reach TTH of Dinsmore CRC

Placement at this center follows a state prison sentence and a corrections classification decision, not a street arrest. The state decides who moves into community release, so being from Duval County does not guarantee a person lands at a Jacksonville center. Any arrest, booking, and first-appearance activity for a local charge takes place earlier at the county John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility, well before a state placement like this one.

The move from county to state custody can leave a short gap in the records. The county may already show a release or transfer while the state has not posted a final location, or the state may show reception and classification before naming a permanent facility. Because a community release placement is decided later in a term, a person often passes through state reception long before any Jacksonville center assignment. Watching the state offender network across a few days beats trusting a single snapshot taken mid-transfer.

About TTH of Dinsmore CRC

This center exists to help state inmates transition back to the community, the goal behind every community release center. The state contracts with operators like The Transition House to run re-entry-focused beds, with custody and release decisions staying under the Florida Department of Corrections. For families and researchers, the key takeaway is the search path. A sentenced state inmate housed at a Jacksonville center is still a state inmate, so the state offender network is the right locator, even though the building shares a city with the county jail.

People sometimes confuse this center with the sheriff's Community Transition Center, because both focus on work and re-entry. They sit in different systems. The Community Transition Center is a county facility for county-sentenced inmates and is searched on the sheriff's roster. TTH of Dinsmore CRC is a state contract center for state inmates and is searched on the Florida Department of Corrections network. The simplest rule is to match the search to the sentence: a county sentence points to the sheriff, while a state prison term points to the state.
