Pembroke Pines Quick Facts
Where Pembroke Pines Inmates Are Held
People arrested in Pembroke Pines go to one of four Broward County jail facilities. The main one is the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale at 555 SE 1st Avenue. This is where most bookings happen. Some inmates may get moved to the Joseph V. Conte Facility, the North Broward Bureau, or the Paul Rein Detention Facility, all in Pompano Beach. The Broward Sheriff's Office runs all of these jails. You can search for released inmates from Pembroke Pines at the sheriff's website, no matter which facility they were in.
The jail you go to depends on space, your charges, and what kind of housing you need. Most people from Pembroke Pines are booked at the Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale first. If you need to visit someone or put money on their account, you need to know which facility they are in. The arrest search portal tells you the location. Once someone is released, the release log shows their booking number and name. You can use that info to look up more details in the arrest search system.

The Broward Sheriff's Office has two main online tools for finding inmates. The arrest search portal shows current and recent inmates.

Just enter a name to search for released inmates from Pembroke Pines.
How to Search Pembroke Pines Inmate Records
To find released inmates in Pembroke Pines, go to the Broward Sheriff's arrest search at sheriff.org. Enter the person's last name and first name. The system shows all inmates with that name who were booked into a Broward County jail. Click on a name to see booking date, charges, bond, and release info. If the person is still in jail, it will say so. If they got out, it shows the release date and time. This is the fastest way to search for released inmates in Pembroke Pines.
The release log at releaselog.sheriff.org is updated every day. It lists everyone who left a Broward County jail in the past 24 hours. The log shows booking number, last name, and first name. You can scan the list to see if someone you know got out. This is useful if you are waiting for a release and want to know the exact day. The log does not show charges or bond, so if you need more detail, use the arrest search instead.
If you cannot find someone online, call the jail at (954) 831-5900. Staff can look up old records that may not be in the current online system. Some inmates who were released many months ago may not show up in the arrest search anymore. The jail can tell you when someone was booked and when they got out, even if the online record is gone. They may ask for the person's full name and date of birth to make sure they find the right inmate in Pembroke Pines.
Note: The Broward Sheriff's arrest search updates often, so new releases may appear within a few hours.
What Released Inmate Records Show
When you search for a released inmate in Pembroke Pines, the Broward Sheriff's system shows several details. You can see the inmate's name, date of birth, booking date, charges, bond amount, and release date. Some records also have a mugshot. The system tells you which jail the person was in and what agency arrested them. This helps you confirm it was a Pembroke Pines arrest and not a case from another city in Broward County.
The records do not show Social Security numbers or home addresses. You get public booking info only. The arrest search shows the charges filed at the time of arrest. It may not show the final court outcome. If you need to know if someone was convicted or if the case was dropped, check the Broward County Clerk of Courts website for case records in Pembroke Pines.
Released inmate records from Broward County include:
- Full name and booking number
- Date of birth and physical description
- Booking date and release date
- Charges and bond amount
- Arresting agency name
- Current detention status
- Mugshot in most cases
Some records show multiple arrests if the person has been in the Broward County jail more than once. This can help you see a pattern of bookings and releases over time. Not all records have a mugshot. Older records may have less info than new ones. If you need a full arrest report or court documents, you may need to file a public records request with the sheriff or the clerk in Pembroke Pines.
State Prison Transfers After Jail Release
Some people who get arrested in Pembroke Pines end up in state prison after they leave the county jail. If someone is sentenced to more than a year, they go to a Florida Department of Corrections facility. The Broward County jail is just the holding place before trial or sentencing. After a judge orders prison time, the person moves to state custody. You can track them using the state offender search.
The Florida Department of Corrections has an online database at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com. You can search by name or DC number. If someone left the Broward County jail and went to state prison, they will show up in this system. It tells you where they are now, what facility they are in, and when they might get out. The state system also shows people who were released from state prison after serving time for a Pembroke Pines arrest.
The state database updates weekly. It may take a few days for a new transfer to appear. The system shows current inmates, projected release dates, and past releases. This is useful if someone was in the Pembroke Pines jail, went to state prison, and then got out. You can see both the county jail time and the state prison time by checking the Broward Sheriff's records first, then the state records.
Inmate Services and Contact Options
If you have someone in the Broward County jail, you can visit them, send mail, or put money on their account. The sheriff's office has rules for all of these. You need to follow the rules or your visit may be denied. Most services are available seven days a week, but you need to check the schedule on the sheriff's website before you go to the jail in Pembroke Pines.
Visitation is done by video at the Broward County jails. You can visit from home using a computer or phone, or you can go to the jail and use a kiosk. On-site visits may be free, but remote visits usually have a fee. You need to set up an account and schedule a time. The sheriff's website has info on how to register for video visits. Some visits are first-come, first-served, so check the rules before you plan a visit in Pembroke Pines.
To send mail to an inmate in the Broward County jail, use this address format:
Inmate Name, Booking Number
[Facility Name]
[Facility Address]
[City, State ZIP]
Do not send cash, checks, or gifts. Mail must be in a plain envelope. Some jails scan all mail before giving it to inmates, so there may be a delay. Check the sheriff's website for the most current mail rules in Pembroke Pines. If the inmate is in a different Broward County facility, use that facility's address instead.
You can put money on an inmate's account by using the kiosk at the jail or an online service. The Broward Sheriff's Office uses a third-party vendor for deposits. You can find the link on the sheriff's website. Money on an inmate's account can be used for phone calls, commissary, and other services. There is usually a fee for each deposit, so check the cost before you send money to someone in the Broward County jail.
Request Full Arrest and Booking Records
If you need more than the online inmate search results, you can request full arrest reports or booking records from the Broward Sheriff's Office. These records have more detail than the search portal. They may include the arrest report, probable cause affidavit, and booking forms. Some of this info is public under Florida law, but you may need to file a request to get copies in Pembroke Pines.
Public records requests go to the Broward Sheriff's Office Records and Warrants Division at 2601 W Broward Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. You can also contact them by phone at (954) 831-8700. Some agencies charge for copies or research time. The sheriff may have a fee schedule for records. Call ahead to ask about the process and cost before you file a request in Pembroke Pines. Most requests take a few days to process, depending on how much info you need.
Under Florida's Public Records Act, most arrest and inmate records are open to the public. There are some exceptions. Juvenile records are not public. Medical and mental health records of inmates are protected. If a case is sealed or expunged, those records are not available.
