Most defendants in Brevard County have a constitutional right to pretrial release on reasonable conditions, with exceptions for capital and life felonies where the proof is evident and for cases where no conditions would protect the community. Many misdemeanor and traffic arrests end with a notice to appear rather than bail. For other charges, the Florida Supreme Court’s uniform statewide bond schedule sets the minimum bond.

Need an inmate’s bail amount? Call the Brevard Juvenile Detention Center at 321-690-3400. The Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 lists the minimum bond for each type of offense, but local circuits may require more, and some charges can’t be bonded out until a judge holds a first appearance hearing. The county accepts cash, surety, or property bonds, or may release the offender on personal recognizance.

The Brevard Juvenile Detention Center is licensed for 40 inmates, but especially on weekends, it is often forced to make room for many more offenders. At most city and county jails in Florida, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, and another 25-30% turn over every 90 days. Another 15-20% turn over every six months, and approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated 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 Brevard County facilities much longer.

Law enforcement agencies in Brevard County arrest and detain approximately 37,780 offenders each year.

We’ve also gathered photos of the jail over the years that you can view.
