Escambia County Correctional Facility Inmate Search
In Florida, including Escambia County, pretrial release on reasonable conditions is a constitutional right for most people charged with a crime, except capital or life felonies where the proof is evident, or cases where no conditions can protect the community. Minor misdemeanors and traffic offenses frequently result in a notice to appear instead of bail. Most other bonds start from the Florida Supreme Court’s uniform statewide bond schedule.
For an inmate’s exact bail amount, call the Escambia County Correctional Facility at 850-436-9830. The Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 lists minimum bond amounts by charge, but each judicial circuit can set higher amounts, and the judge at first appearance has the final say. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, or may release an offender on personal recognizance.
The Escambia County Correctional Facility is licensed for 1600 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Typical turnover at city and county jails is at least 35-40% of the inmate population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months usually face serious charges such as rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Escambia County facilities much longer.
Every year, approximately 35,500 offenders are arrested and detained by Escambia County law enforcement agencies.
Our collection of jail photos, gathered over the years, is also available.

The facility is supervised by over 100 staff members and the monthly average of total bookings is over 300. It houses about 1632 male inmates and is a medium-security Adult facility. The Escambia County Jail is located at 3080 N Pace Blvd. in Pensacola, Florida. The contact number for the Main Jail is 850-436-9830. The Escambia County Corrections Video Visitation Center operates seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Inmates are allowed two visits of 40 minutes each at the facility, and potentially no limit on the number of visits when using the video visitation system. Complete information and scheduling can be found below or on our Inmate Visitation page.
The old Escambia County Jail in Florida had been described as "uninhabitable" by a commissioner due to issues such as leaks, mold, and cell doors that don't work. Inmates have been moved into the new Escambia County Correctional Facility, which also has its own problems such as one of the three elevators not working for weeks, but there are improvements over the former jail for sure. Escambia County Jail in Florida is unique due to its high incarceration rate, its dedication to public service and the care, custody and control of inmates, and its plans to move inmates to a new facility due to the conditions at the old jail not meeting standards.
In the Escambia County Correctional Facility each housing unit has a day area, recreational yard, triage room and multi-purpose room. The multi-purpose room can be utilized for classes and religious services for the inmates.. Inmates can receive medical treatment at housing units and will not need to get escorted to an infirmary out-patient clinic to receive medical services, saving time, officers needed and jeopardizing the safety of staff and other medical providers. The new facility is designed with separate wings to house and provide services for juveniles, keeping juveniles out of normal sight and sound of adult inmates.
The new facility even has a gym for staff and a courtroom for inmate's initial hearing.
People arrested in Escambia County, including Pensacola, are usually taken to the Escambia County Correctional Facility at 3080 N. Pace Blvd., Pensacola, FL 32505. Escambia County does things a little differently from most Florida counties. The jail is not run by the Sheriff’s Office. On October 1, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners moved jail operations to the county’s own Department of Corrections. For questions about someone in custody, call the Detention Division at (850) 436-9830.
The building opened in spring 2021. It has 840 beds spread across housing units. Each housing unit has its own recreation yard and medical triage room. The facility also has a courtroom, and separate wings keep juveniles out of sight and sound of adult inmates. Across all of its facilities, the department is responsible for more than 1,300 people and handles more than 15,000 bookings and releases a year. Most of the people held here are awaiting trial. Others are serving county sentences of up to a year. Anyone sentenced to more than a year goes to the Florida Department of Corrections. Part of the population has also been housed in the county’s older Main Jail on “L” Street, which was built in 1981 and which the county has been working to replace. If you aren’t sure which building your person is in, ask when you call.
To find someone, use the county’s Jail View inmate lookup. Results show charges and any bond amount. Escambia is part of Florida’s First Judicial Circuit. Under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.130, everyone who is arrested sees a judge for first appearance within 24 hours. At that hearing the judge reviews the charges and sets bond or release conditions. The Florida Constitution (Art. I, §14) gives most defendants a right to pretrial release on reasonable conditions. The exceptions are capital or life felonies when the proof is evident or the presumption great, and cases where no conditions can protect the community. Before first appearance, jails use the Florida Supreme Court’s 2026 uniform bond schedule (AOSC25-69). It sets statewide minimum amounts, and the First Circuit’s chief judge can set higher local amounts. Some serious charges require a judge to see the person before any release, and the first appearance judge isn’t bound by the schedule. For many minor misdemeanors, the officer issues a notice to appear and the person is not jailed at all.
Bonds are paid, and property is picked up, in the facility’s public access area. The county also takes bond payments online through Access Corrections. If you use a bail bond agent instead, Florida law requires the agent to charge the premium rate on file with state regulators (§648.33). On state charges that rate is 10% of the bond, with a $100 minimum, and you won’t get it back.
All visits are by video through GettingOut. You can visit from home, or on-site at the Video Visitation Center inside the 3080 N. Pace Blvd. building. Main jail visiting blocks run 8–11 a.m., 12:30–3:30 p.m. and 7:45–8:45 p.m. Schedule online or call (855) 516-0115. For visiting questions, call the center at (850) 436-9961. Review the county’s video visitation rules first. Phone accounts are set up through ConnectNetwork.
Personal mail doesn’t go to the jail. Send it to P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131, where it is processed and delivered electronically. Legal mail goes to P.O. Box 17800, Pensacola, FL 32522. To add money, you can deposit online through Access Corrections or use the 24-hour kiosk in the main jail lobby. You can also mail a U.S. Postal money order made out to “ITF” plus the inmate’s first and last name to Inmate Accounts, P.O. Box 17800, Pensacola, FL 32522.
To check for warrants, start with FDLE’s statewide wanted persons search. Not every active warrant appears there, so also contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Warrants Unit. By bus, Escambia County Area Transit’s Route 55 (Pace Blvd | Warrington) runs along Pace Boulevard. Check the nearest stop and times on ECAT’s routes page or at (850) 595-3228. If you’re waiting on a release, there’s a Circle K at 3109 N. Pace Blvd. and a Cefco at 2100 W. Fairfield Dr. Popeyes is at 3411 N. Pace Blvd., and Wendy’s is at 1706 W. Fairfield Dr.

How does the booking process work at Escambia County Correctional Facility?
Once someone is arrested, they are taken to Escambia County Correctional Facility for booking. This process involves identifying the individual, determining charges, and deciding if they will be released on their own recognizance, released on bail, or held in custody until their court date.
It’s important for the arrestee to stay silent, as anything they say can be used against them. The best advice is to avoid answering any questions about the arrest until legal counsel is present.
The booking process at Escambia County Correctional Facility typically includes the following steps:
- Verifying identity.
- Taking a mugshot.
- Answering questions regarding medical, mental health, and substance use history.
- DNA collection, if required.
- Conducting a thorough search.
- Confiscating personal belongings.
- Providing a free phone call.
For questions about paying an arrestee’s bond or bail amount, contact the facility at 850-436-9830.
What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Escambia County?
After an individual is apprehended and taken to Escambia County Correctional Facility in Pensacola for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:
1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond. Call 850-436-9830 for the exact bail amount.
There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.
- To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 850-436-9830).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Escambia County can assist with payment.
- Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
