FL DOC – DeMilley Correctional Institution basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 863-984-9170
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at DeMilley CI located at 10980 DeMilley Road in Polk City, FL are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
This facility was established in 2008 to prepare inmates for work release and aid in a successful re-entry into society. Bartow Work Release Center, Tarpon Springs Work Release Center, Largo Residential Re-Entry Center, Suncoast Work Release Center (Male) and St. Petersburg Work Release Center are under the supervision of Demilly CI.

Contacting an Inmate at the FL DOC – DeMilley Correctional Institution
Calling an Inmate
Inmate Phone Procedure
Florida prison inmates are not permitted to receive telephone calls. Inmates may place collect calls to approved numbers
When an inmate enters the Florida prison system, he/she will have an inmate telephone account established with a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and be provided with instructions for placing collect calls to family and friends. Inmate phone lists are limited to ten (10) numbers
Inmates are authorized to initiate collect calls to personal landline numbers and personal cell phone numbers. Collect calls to businesses are prohibited. Before an inmate is permitted to place a collect call, she/he must submit the telephone number, name, and address for verification and activation prior to being added to the inmate's approved call list
Call Rates Effective November 23, 2016 | |
Local per minute call rate | $.04 |
Prepaid and collect per minute call rate | $0.14 |
Phone Number Approval
Approved call lists can be changed every 6 months, or sooner under specific circumstances provided in the instructions. Each time this list is submitted, all verification information must be included for any additions/changes, as well as those numbers previously approved, the inmate wishes to retain. If only the additions/changes are submitted on the call list, those numbers previously submitted and approved will be deleted. Every new number an inmate requests to be added to the approved call list must be verified and activated before the inmate is allowed to call. If the inmate is unable to complete a call after the number is approved, they should initiate a request through their Classification Office.
If family and friends are unable to receive calls or have other questions regarding receiving calls from an inmate, they may contact their local phone provider or 800-844-6591 Securus Correctional Billing Services, for assistance.
If there is a family emergency, family members are urged to contact the institution's chaplain. The chaplain will notify the inmate and he/she may be granted a special telephone call
