Union Correctional Institution, Correctional facility in Raiford, Florida, US.
Union Correctional Institution manages 2,172 adult male prisoners across multiple security classifications, from maximum to minimum levels within its facility walls.
The prison opened in 1913 as Raiford Penitentiary and operated an 18,000-acre prison farm where inmates performed agricultural work as part of their sentences.
The institution implemented programs for inmate rehabilitation through education, vocational training, and work assignments to develop skills for post-release employment.
The Florida Department of Corrections maintains specific guidelines for family visits, allowing scheduled contact between inmates and their approved visitors.
In 1923, this facility became one of the final prisons in the United States to discontinue the practice of convict leasing to private businesses.
