The Florida Department of Corrections[1] is divided into four regions, each representing a specific geographical area of the state. Region I[2] is the panhandle area, Region II[3] is the north-east and north-central areas, Region III[4] consist of central Florida and Region IV [1] which covers the southern portion of the peninsula.
There are several types of facilities in Florida, ranging from community work release centers to maximum security institutions.
The State of Florida operates almost all of its major institutions and most of its lesser facilities. Privately operated prisons in Florida are called "Correctional Facilities" (for example, Lake City Correctional Facility) while state operated facilities are called "Correctional Institutions" (i.e. Union Correctional Institution). Florida State Prison is the only facility in the state officially titled a "Prison".[citation needed]
