Joseph Conte Facility Inmate Search

Florida law entitles most people arrested in Broward County to reasonable pretrial release, unless they are charged with a capital or life felony and the proof is evident, or a judge finds no conditions would protect the public. Lower-level misdemeanors and traffic cases are often handled with a notice to appear. Bond amounts for most other charges come from a uniform statewide bond schedule set by the Florida Supreme Court.

Need an inmate’s bail amount? Call the Joseph Conte Facility at 954-831-5900. 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 Joseph Conte Facility is licensed to house 1328 inmates, but it is often forced to hold many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates per month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% incarcerated six to 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 Broward County facilities much longer.

Broward County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 153,620 offenders annually.

Our collection of jail photos, gathered over the years, is also available.

Paying bail for someone in custody in Broward County

Once someone is booked at Joseph Conte Facility in Pompano Beach 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 954-831-5900 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 954-831-5900 with questions.
• A licensed bail bond agent in Broward 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 Broward County, Florida, see the Joseph Conte Facility Bail FAQ.
