Miami Released Inmate Records

Miami released inmates go through the Miami-Dade County jail system. When police make an arrest in Miami, they take the person to one of three county detention centers. The Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department runs all jail facilities in the county. You can search for released inmates using the online portal. The inmate search shows current custody status and helps you find out if someone has been let go from jail. Each day, hundreds of people are booked into and released from Miami-Dade County facilities.

Inmate Services and Visitation

Inmates need money for commissary items, phone calls, and self-bonding. To deposit funds, you need the inmate's booking name, jail number, and facility number 233101. Deposit in person at kiosks in detention center lobbies. The kiosks take cash. You can also deposit online through Touchpay using a credit or debit card, or call Touchpay to deposit by phone.

Miami-Dade uses remote video visits only. You must be on the inmate's approved visitation list. Personal visitors register online, create an account, and wait 24 hours. Then you can schedule a visit at least one day ahead, but not more than seven days in advance. Attorneys and professionals need two to three business days for approval. Dress appropriately and follow all rules during visits, or you may lose visitation privileges.
