Under the Florida Constitution, most people arrested in Duval County are entitled to reasonable pretrial release. The exceptions are capital and life felonies when the proof is evident, and cases where no conditions would protect the community. Minor misdemeanor and traffic offenses often lead to a notice to appear instead of bail. For most other charges, the Florida Supreme Court publishes a uniform statewide bond schedule each year.

The quickest way to find out what an inmate’s bail is set at is to call the Duval Regional Juvenile Detention Center at 904-798-4820 . The Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 lists the minimum bond for each offense, although each judicial circuit can set higher amounts and a judge at first appearance isn’t bound by it. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, or may release an offender on personal recognizance.

The Duval Regional Juvenile Detention Center is licensed for 95 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Florida, the inmate population turns over at least 35-40% each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, and approximately 8-9% remain in custody for 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 Duval County facilities much longer.

Every year, approximately 67,680 offenders are arrested and detained by Duval County law enforcement agencies.
