Florida Public Records and Inmate Information

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes is the Public Records Act. This law requires government agencies to provide access to most records, including jail records in Miami-Dade County. Section 945.10 lists exemptions for confidential information. Medical records, mental health files, and substance abuse treatment records cannot be released without consent.

To request records not available online, contact Central Records in writing or by phone. The department reviews requests and provides cost estimates before producing records. You may need to pay fees for extensive searches or large volumes of documents. Section 119.07 allows agencies to charge for supervision services and special technology use when fulfilling public records requests. Victim statements and witness protection information stay confidential under Florida law.

Sending Money and Scheduling Visits

Inmates need money in their accounts to buy items from the commissary, make phone calls, or bond themselves out. To deposit money, you need the inmate's booking name, jail number, and the facility number 233101. You can deposit funds in person at a kiosk in the lobby of any detention center. The kiosks accept cash. For online deposits, use the Touchpay provider with a credit or debit card.

Miami-Dade County uses remote video visits for all inmate visitation. Only approved visitors on the inmate's master visitation list can schedule visits. Personal visitors need to register, create an account, and wait 24 hours before they can schedule a visit. Schedule your visit at least one day in advance, but not more than seven days ahead. Visitors must dress appropriately, and no recording or photography is allowed during visits.

State Prison vs County Jail Records

The Miami-Dade County jail system is separate from the Florida Department of Corrections. County jails hold people awaiting trial or serving short sentences. State prisons hold people convicted of felonies and sentenced to longer terms. If someone from Doral gets sent to state prison, they no longer appear in the county jail search.

Use the FDC offender search at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com for state prisoners. The state database includes inmate population records, release information, escape data, supervised offenders, and absconder lists. The Inmate Release Information Search gets updated every night. Six state prison institutions operate in Miami-Dade County, and those facilities report to the Florida Department of Corrections, not to the county jail system.
