Want to look up an inmate at the Bridgeport Juvenile Detention Center? The Official Jail Inmate Roster shows their criminal charges, bond amount, visitation eligibility, and in many cases their mugshot. You can also call the jail at 203-579-6548 for the information you need.
Connecticut’s Judicial Branch posts an online list of certain arrest warrants: those issued for a violation of probation, a failure to appear in court on existing charges, or an order to incarcerate. It isn’t a list of every warrant in the state. Warrants from police investigations generally aren’t posted, so if a name doesn’t appear, that doesn’t mean there’s no warrant.
To find information on a specific court case, use the Judicial Branch’s online case look-up, which covers most cases in the Supreme Court, the Appellate Court, and the Superior Court, including criminal cases across Connecticut. Some records, such as juvenile, youthful offender, and sealed cases, are not available to the public.

In Connecticut, the first decision about bail is made at the police station after an arrest. Police can release the person on a written promise to appear, or set a bond. If the person isn’t released, an intake, assessment and referral specialist (formerly called a bail commissioner) with the Judicial Branch’s Court Support Services Division can review the case and change the bond. The judge makes the final decision when the defendant appears in court. If the judge orders bail, it can be posted as a cash bond for the full amount, or as a surety bond through a licensed bondsman, whose fee is set by state regulation at 10% of the first $5,000 and 7% of the rest.

The Bridgeport Juvenile Detention Center is licensed to hold 25 inmates at a time, but it often has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Connecticut has no county jails. The state Department of Correction runs every facility, and several of them serve as the state’s jails for people awaiting trial while also holding sentenced inmates: Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven Correctional Centers, Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center, and York Correctional Institution, which holds every woman in state custody. Cheshire, Garner, and MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institutions also hold some pretrial detainees. Brooklyn Correctional Institution and the Cybulski Community Reintegration Center hold only sentenced men, and Osborn and Robinson Correctional Institutions house sentenced men almost exclusively. At the facilities that hold pretrial detainees, at least 35-40% of the inmate population turns over each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder, and because those cases take so long to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Fairfield County on such charges remain in state custody much longer.
