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. You can also call Touchpay to deposit money by phone. Inmates use these funds for self-bonding, commissary purchases, and other jail expenses while in custody.

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 must register, create an account, and wait 24 hours before scheduling their first visit. Schedule visits at least one day ahead, but not more than seven days in advance. Visitors must dress appropriately, and no recording or photography is allowed during visits.

Public Records Law in Florida

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes is the Public Records Act. It 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.

County Jail vs State Prison

Miami-Dade County jails are 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 Kendall gets sent to state prison, they leave the county jail system.
