About the Horizon Facility

Built as an addition to the Orange County Correctional Complex to provide additional housing for inmates and to prevent overcrowding, the Horizon Facility was designed to have a top capacity of 1,536 beds and cover 192,660 square feet. It is a medium security facility.

The building reaches seven floors with the first floor consisting of the medical unit, the public lobby, a training area for staff, locker rooms, and the administrative offices for the building. It also has classrooms and an educational center for both academic as well as vocational training, life skills, and programs for rehabilitation purposes.

Multi-purpose rooms serve many functions and accommodate volunteers and short term programs as well as religious services for those who attend regularly, and there are exercise areas available. Each housing unit offers cells surrounding a common area that creates seating areas, has tables for writing or games, and with the direct supervision model there are staff and correction officers interacting and responding to inmate needs throughout the day and night.

The Horizon Facility is part of the sprawling complex that makes up the Orange County Correctional Complex and functions well with the other facilities within the area.

Within the Orange County Corrections Department there are several detention centers including the Orange County Booking and Release Center, the Female Detention Center, Horizon Facility, Genesis Facility, Phoenix Facility, and the Whitcomb Facility for direct supervision units, the Work Release Center, and the Main Jail Facility.

Each of the facilities use the same Video Visitation Center that is located at 3000 39th Street, Orlando, Florida, 32839. This center is open every day for visitors from 9am until 10pm, and it is necessary to book the first visit at least one day in advance by calling 407-836-8061, and further appointments are booked online, with the same account that is used to accept phone calls from inmates that are billed at $0.145 per minute.

For those unable to access the visitor center, remote visits are now possible from a computer or phone at home or other locations. Mail can be sent to inmates with up to four paperback books or magazines, must have a full return address, and must fit within the posted regulations about mail that are provided upon intake, and must be addressed to the inmate at their 'personal mail' mailing address:

Recent Bookings & Arrests

  • Collecting DNA if necessary.
