The Florida Department of Corrections imposed a partial lockdown to all of its prisons on Wednesday after receiving credible intelligence indicating that small groups of inmates at several institutions may attempt to disrupt FDC operations and impact safety and security, according to spokeswoman Michelle Glady.
Glady said it has not been determined how long the lockdown will last but it will be in place, at least, through the weekend.
An advisory issued Wednesday announced the cancellation of weekend visitation statewide.
FDC looks forward to resuming normal visitation as soon as possible, the advisory states.

(Reuters) - The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC), operator of one of the largest prison systems in the United States, on Thursday put its nearly 100,000 inmates on partial lockdown after receiving information of possible disturbances, a spokeswoman said.
The department decided to boost security at its facilities through the weekend due to "credible intelligence indicating that small groups of inmates at several institutions may attempt to disrupt FDC operations and impact safety and security," the spokeswoman, Ashley Cook, said in a telephone interview.
Cook did not offer further details on the nature of the possible disturbances.
