Tomoka CI, situated in Volusia County, stands as a significant state prison facility owned and operated by the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC). Established in 1981, it hosts a diverse mix of security levels, catering to individuals across minimum, medium, and close custody classifications, with a maximum capacity of 1,192 prisoners as of 2024.

Tragically, the institution faced a notable incident in June 2008 when correctional officer Donna Fitzgerald was fatally stabbed by an inmate. An investigation by the DOC's inspector general identified critical security breaches and negligence among officials, highlighting systemic challenges within the institution.

In 2014, Tomoka Correctional experienced eight inmate deaths in custody, prompting scrutiny and concerns regarding inmate welfare and safety within the facility. Despite some deaths remaining unexplained, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) refrained from disclosing further information.

Tomoka Correctional Institution offers a comprehensive range of programs and services aimed at rehabilitation and personal development for its incarcerated population. Academic Programs include Adult Basic Education, General Educational Development (GED), and the Inmate Teaching Program, providing inmates with opportunities for intellectual growth and skill development.

Vocational Programs such as Landscape and Turf Management and Masonry equip inmates with practical skills training, enhancing their employability prospects upon release.

Chaplaincy Services at Tomoka Correctional Institution encompass a wide array of religious and spiritual programs catering to diverse faiths, including Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings, Catholic Services, Celebrate Recovery, and various other faith-based activities.

Moreover, the institution offers a multitude of Institutional Betterment Programs covering areas such as anger management, art and mindfulness programs, business management courses, music classes, veteran's programs, and wellness education.
