Wakulla Correctional Institution is a prison located 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Tallahassee, Florida.[1][2] It is located in Wakulla County, and served by the Crawfordville, Florida post office.

The attached Wakulla Correctional Institution Annex was established in 2008. It holds inmates of a higher level of classification and does not share the same faith and character-based mission as the main unit.

Wakulla Correctional Institution is the location of the Fallen Officer Memorial of the Florida Department of Corrections. The names of the fallen officers are engraved onto the memorial each year during an annual wreath laying ceremony with a portrait of the fallen placed on the wall inside of the adjacent building.
