UCI was the state's first prison, and was originally called "Florida State Prison". The name went with the newer institution when the two were split. Both institutions house inmates in [[death row]] facilities. FSP conducts all executions, while most death row inmates are housed at UCI.

UCI has the most diverse population of any [[correctional institution]] in the state. It houses 'close management inmates' and 'psych inmates' as well as 'open population' inmates. Most of the latter are age fifty and over.

FSP houses the violent and criminally insane in solitary confinement. The men on death row are also in solitary.

The penitentiary compound encompasses over {{convert|50|acre|m2|spell=in}} and includes a farm where much food is grown that feeds inmates.

Nearby are the state's training facilities for [[Correctional Officer]]s (COs), some housing for COs, and the [[Prison warden|warden's]] house.

Convicted serial killer [[Ted Bundy]] was held at Raiford for years and executed there in 1989.
