Palm Beach Main Detention Center Inmate Search
Florida’s constitution guarantees most defendants in Palm Beach County pretrial release on reasonable conditions, unless they face a capital or life felony and the proof is evident, or no conditions could protect the community. Many minor misdemeanors and traffic offenses end with a notice to appear. Other bonds follow a uniform statewide schedule adopted by the Florida Supreme Court, which sets a minimum amount for each charge.
To find out an inmate’s bail amount, call the Palm Beach Main Detention Center at 561-688-4401. You can also look up the charge on the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026, which sets the minimum bond. Keep in mind that the local judicial circuit may require more, and the judge at first appearance can raise or lower the amount. Bail can be posted in cash, through a surety bond, or with a property bond, and some people are released on their own recognizance.
The Palm Beach Main Detention Center’s license allows for 2166 inmates, but the jail often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida turn over at least 35-40% of their inmate population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months usually face serious charges like murder or rape, and since those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Palm Beach County facilities much longer.
Every year, approximately 64,580 offenders are arrested and detained by Palm Beach County law enforcement agencies.

⇓ Learn more ⇓ Show lessThe Palm Beach Detention Center has two facilities that are operating at different locations but fall under shared jurisdiction and regulations, this one, the Palm Beach Main Detention Center and the Palm Beach West County Detention Center.
The main location is within West Palm Beach and offers a towering concrete building with slotted windows in rows showing several floors. Cells have windows that allow natural light but are not large enough for an adult to get through, maintaining the security of the facility. Many of the cells are double occupancy, offering bunk beds, a desk or table, a toilet, and a sink. It is located at the Sherriff’s Headquarters Complex, and covers 835,000 square feet with a South Tower, East Tower, and West Tower.
It houses up to 2,166 inmates, including an infirmary and special management beds, accepting males, females, and juveniles. Medical care, mental health services, and special housing for high risk inmates are all present on the property.
The Main Detention Center, run by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), is the county’s central jail at 3228 Gun Club Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33406. It has 2,166 beds in three towers. The 12-story South Tower, built in 1993 for $52 million, has 1,285 beds. The six-story East and West Towers, built in 1983, have 418 and 404. PBSO puts the average population at about 1,769. The jail holds pretrial and unsentenced adult men, adult women, juveniles, high-risk inmates, federal inmates and people who need special medical or mental health care. It also holds people serving county sentences of up to a year. Anyone sentenced to more than a year goes to the Florida Department of Corrections. The jail’s main line is (561) 688-4401, and Inmate Records is (561) 688-4340.
PBSO’s corrections programs include drug and alcohol education, the Medication Assisted and Peer Support (MAPS) program, GED preparation and testing, re-entry services, religious services and work programs. Nurses are on duty around the clock. Everyone arrested in Palm Beach County who isn’t released must see a judge within 24 hours under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.130. Palm Beach County makes up Florida’s 15th Judicial Circuit.
Most defendants have a right to release before trial on reasonable conditions under Article I, Section 14 of the Florida Constitution. The exceptions are capital or life felonies where proof is evident or the presumption great, and cases where no conditions can protect the public. Bond amounts before first appearance follow the Florida Supreme Court’s 2026 uniform bond schedule (AOSC25-69), which sets minimums. The 15th Circuit’s chief judge may set higher local amounts, and the first appearance judge isn’t bound by the schedule. Some charges require a judge before any release (sections 903.011, 903.046, 907.041). Low-level misdemeanors frequently end with a notice to appear. To learn the bond amount, call Inmate Records. PBSO’s corrections FAQ lists three ways to post. You can pay a cash bond with cash, money orders or certified checks (no personal checks), have a bondsman post a surety bond, or pay by credit or debit card through GovPayNet at (877) 392-2455. Bail bond agents in Florida must charge exactly the premium rate filed with the state (section 648.33). After bond is processed, the person is released from the Visitor’s Lobby.
All visits are by video. Before visiting, register at jailvisit.pbso.org, then reserve a time. Visits happen at the Central Video Visitation Center, 9620 Weisman Way, West Palm Beach ((561) 242-5850), or the West County Video Visitation Center, 2890 State Road 15, Belle Glade ((561) 992-1250). Visitors 18 and older need a current government photo ID. Copies and expired IDs aren’t accepted. A minor must come with a parent or legal guardian who brings the child’s original birth certificate or guardianship papers. Check in 15 minutes early. Leave cell phones, smart watches and smart glasses outside. The dress code is strictly enforced, and you can’t hold up pictures or notes during the visit.
Mail must be a postcard unless it’s privileged legal mail. Postcards must measure between 3.5 by 5 inches and 4.25 by 6 inches and be written in blue or black ink. They must show the person’s booked name, jacket number and cell assignment. Send them to P.O. Box 24716, West Palm Beach, FL 33416. Money can go on an account through Access Corrections’ SmartDeposit (accesscorrections.com or (866) 394-0490). There are also kiosks in the Main Detention Center release lobby and at the Video Visitation Center, which take cash, credit and debit for a $4.50 fee. Phone accounts are set up through Securus ((800) 844-6591). For property, the inmate must give written authorization. Pickup is Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with photo ID, while the person is still in custody. Find someone with PBSO’s inmate search. Register with VINE at (877) 846-3435 for release alerts. For warrants, try FDLE’s wanted persons search, remembering that it doesn’t include every warrant.
Palm Tran Route 2 runs along Congress Avenue, about a third of a mile east of the jail entrance on Gun Club Road. Ask Palm Tran at (561) 841-4287 for the nearest stop. Near the Congress and Gun Club intersection, the Shell at 242 S Congress Ave has Junior’s Hero Shop and a Dunkin’ on the same lot. There’s a Mobil at 721 S Congress Ave and a Burger King at 815 S Congress Ave.

How does the booking process work at Palm Beach Main Detention Center?
Once someone is arrested, they are taken to Palm Beach Main Detention Center 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 Palm Beach Main Detention Center 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 561-688-4401.
What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Palm Beach County?
After an individual is apprehended and taken to Palm Beach Main Detention Center in West Palm Beach 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 561-688-4401 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: 561-688-4401).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Palm Beach 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.
