Tomoka Correctional Institution
The Tomoka Correctional Institution is an American state prison for men located in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, Florida, owned and operated by the Florida Department of Corrections.[1] With a mix of security levels including minimum, medium, and close, this facility was opened in 1981 and has a maximum capacity of 1263 prisoners. Tomoka correctional officer Donna Fitzgerald was stabbed to death by an inmate in June 2008.[2] An investigation by the DOC's inspector general officially blamed the warden and officials for "critical security breaches, gross neglect of duty, and ineptitude."[3] In 2014 eight Tomoka inmates died in custody, more than any other Florida (non-hospital) state prison. Although some of those deaths were unexplained, the FDLE declined to release any information.[4] Notable Inmates
