Monroe County Key West Jail Inmate Search

In Florida, including Monroe 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.

Want to know an inmate’s bail? Call the Monroe County Key West Jail at 305-293-7300. If you know the charge, the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 shows the minimum bond for each offense, although local circuits can require more. Certain serious charges mean the person must wait for a judge at first appearance, usually within 24 hours. Cash, surety, and property bonds are accepted, and release on personal recognizance is also possible.

With a licensed capacity of 596 inmates, the Monroe County Key West Jail is often forced to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida turn over at least 35-40% of their population every month. Another 25-30% turns over every 90 days and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are generally facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county stay in custody at one of the Monroe County facilities much longer.

Every year, Monroe County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 17,660 offenders.

Paying bail for someone in Monroe County

After being arrested and booked into Monroe County Key West Jail in Key West, the arrestee's situation will proceed in one of three ways:

1. They may be released without bail and required to attend a court hearing.
2. They may be held in custody until their court date.
3. Bail can be posted for their release; call 305-293-7300 for the exact bail amount.

There are multiple ways to pay bail.

• Cash bonds are paid in full at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails let you pay by card at a lobby kiosk or with an online bond vendor for a fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number when you go, and the jail is at 305-293-7300.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Monroe County can facilitate the process.
• Many courts accept a home or land as collateral for bond, as long as the owner proves clear title and equity at least equal to the bond amount (often twice it) with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
