Under Florida law, most defendants in Liberty County are entitled to pretrial release on reasonable conditions. The main exceptions are capital and life felonies when the proof is evident, and cases where a judge finds no conditions would keep the community safe. Many minor misdemeanors and traffic offenses result in a notice to appear. Most other bond amounts are set by the Florida Supreme Court’s uniform statewide bond schedule.
Calling the Liberty County Juvenile Detention Center at 850-488-7672 is the quickest way to find out an inmate’s bail. For a general idea of the amount, check the charge against the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026. Judicial circuits can set higher local amounts, and a judge at the first appearance hearing isn’t bound by the schedule. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, and may release someone on personal recognizance.
The Liberty County Juvenile Detention Center is licensed for 56 inmates, but weekends in particular often bring in more offenders than that. At most city and county jails in Florida, at least 35-40% of the population turns over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with about 8-9% remaining six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because it takes time to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Liberty County facilities much longer.
Liberty County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 6,020 offenders each year.
