The Reception and Medical Center is a Florida state prison and hospital for men located in Lake Butler, Union County. The facility is primarily an intake and processing point for all-male state prisoners and a secure medical facility. Inmates here are held on a "temporary" basis until they are transferred to their permanent location. Inmates normally do not stay here longer than a year depending on bed space for the inmate's custody level in the FL DOC. There is limited programming available as this temporary facility status lends itself to the intake and the reentry phase.
