About the Leon County Detention Facility

The Leon County Jail in Florida has a capacity of 1000 beds. It typically holds between 1,000 and 1,050 people at a time, marking an increase of more than 17%, as the population in Florida continue to grow at an alarmingly high rate.

Inmates may have video visits that visitors can take part in either from their home or using an app on their phone. If they don't have a computer or a phone, they can use the computers at the Library or the RISE Center.  All of the information including addresses and schedules can be found below.

Friends and family memebers can also make deposits through the online system or by visiting an authorized third-party vendor. This information is also below.

The Leon County Jail set a new record prison population of over 1000 new inmates entered into custody on felony charges as of January 1, 2022 and it has never gone down since. Inmate issues and conditions have been reported to be inhumane and unacceptable, with three detainees hanging themselves in 2022 according to public records. A review of the jail's inmate population was conducted by the Leon County Sheriff's Office in March 2022. The Leon County Detention Facility in Florida is unique for its process of receiving deposits into an inmate's canteen account, as well as its rules and regulations regarding visitation. It also houses arrestees taken into custody by numerous law enforcement entities throughout the county and provides booking and detention services for all law enforcement agencies within Leon County.

the answers to all your questions regarding bail, an inmate's charges, their mugshots, arrest and release dates, inmate accounts, phone use, texting and email, and visitation can all be found below. If you still have questions after reviewing all the information, call the jail 24/7 at 850-606-3500.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Leon County Detention Facility?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Leon County Detention Facility, call the jail’s booking line at 850-606-3500.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Leon County Detention Facility Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Leon County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Leon County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Leon County Detention Facility?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Leon County and other Florida and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Leon County Detention Facility will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Leon County Detention Facility Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

The Leon County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Leon County.

  • You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Leon County, or in some cases the state of Florida, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Leon County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
  • The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 850-606-3500 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Leon County inmate locator.

Leon County Bail Bond Information

Because Leon County and Florida can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Leon County Detention Facility at 850-606-3500, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked. 

Ask the staff at the Leon County Detention Facility or the Leon County Court Clerk these specific questions:

  1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
  2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
  3. Where do I go to pay it?
  4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
  5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
  6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released. 

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
