Every Florida county, including Alachua County, follows the same basic bail rules. Most defendants have a constitutional right to pretrial release on reasonable conditions, except those charged with capital or life felonies when the proof is evident, or those no conditions could safely release. Many minor misdemeanors and traffic offenses end with a notice to appear. Bond amounts for other charges come from a uniform statewide bond schedule set by the Florida Supreme Court.

The jail can tell you an inmate’s bail if you call the Alachua Regional Juvenile Detention Center at 352-955-2105 . You can also look at the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026, which sets minimum bond amounts statewide. Local circuits can raise them, and certain serious charges require a judge’s review first. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, or can release an offender on personal recognizance.

By the numbers, the Alachua Regional Juvenile Detention Center:

• Is licensed for 45 inmates at any given time
• Often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends

At most city and county jails in Florida, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Alachua County facilities much longer.

Each year, Alachua County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 23,860 offenders.
