Baker County Detention Center

Everything from an inmate’s criminal charges and bond amount to their visitation eligibility and mugshot can be found on the Baker County Detention Center’s Official Jail Inmate Roster. You can also call the jail at 904-259-3311. Warrants for Baker County and the rest of Florida can be checked through the state’s wanted persons search, and criminal court records are available online for participating counties.

Baker County Detention Center Inmate Search

In Baker County, as everywhere in Florida, most defendants have a constitutional right to be released before trial on reasonable conditions. Release can be denied for capital or life felonies when the proof is evident, or if no conditions would protect the community. Many minor misdemeanor and traffic arrests end with a notice to appear. Bond amounts for other charges start with the Florida Supreme Court’s uniform statewide bond schedule.

The jail can tell you an inmate’s bail if you call the Baker County Detention Center at 904-259-3311. 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.

The Baker County Detention Center is licensed for 510 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida see at least 35-40% turnover every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Roughly 8-9% remain incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Baker County facilities much longer.

Baker County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 11,100 offenders per year.

We also provide photos of the jail that we have collected over the years.

Paying bail for someone in custody in Baker County

Once someone is booked at Baker County Detention Center in Macclenny after an arrest, there are several outcomes:

1. They may be released without paying bail, agreeing to show up on a scheduled date.
2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.
3. They can pay a bail or bond for release. Call 904-259-3311 for bail details.

Bail payments can take several forms.

• The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 904-259-3311 with questions.
• A licensed bail bond agent in Baker County can help cover bail.
• Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.

For detailed information about the bail process in Baker County, Florida, see the Baker County Detention Center Bail FAQ.
