Leonida Department of Corrections

The Leonida Department of Corrections is the state prison authority in Grand Theft Auto VI, confirmed through Lucia's orange correctional jumpsuit in Trailer 2 (IGN's breakdown places it around 3:28–3:30). It is the institution that frames the game's opening: Lucia is introduced inside a correctional setting in Trailer 1's very first shots, and the Department of Corrections branding in Trailer 2 gives that system a name. As a state-wide institution rather than a single building, the Department of Corrections likely covers prisons, work-release, and parole touchpoints that bear on Lucia's backstory. Rockstar has confirmed the name via costume branding but has not detailed specific facilities, whether any prison interior is explorable, or exactly how Lucia's incarceration factors into the plot beyond the trailers' framing. It is the Leonida analogue to Florida's real Department of Corrections.
