Sumter County Detention Center Inmate Search
Under the Florida Constitution, most people charged with a crime in Sumter County and across the state are entitled to pretrial release on reasonable conditions. The exceptions are capital and life felonies when the proof is evident or the presumption is great, and cases where no conditions would protect the community. Many misdemeanor and traffic arrests end with a notice to appear instead of bail. For everything else, the Florida Supreme Court sets a uniform statewide bond schedule listing a minimum bond amount for each type of offense.
The easiest way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Sumter County Detention Center is to call the jail at 352-569-1700. If you know the charge, you can check the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 to see the minimum bond. Each of Florida’s judicial circuits may set higher amounts, and a judge at first appearance, usually within 24 hours of arrest, can change the bond. Some serious charges require seeing a judge before any release. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, or can release an offender on personal recognizance.
The Sumter County Detention Center holds a license for 521 inmates, but the actual count is often higher, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida have a monthly turnover of at least 35-40% of their inmates, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and roughly 8-9% who stay six to twelve months. Stays of more than twelve months usually involve serious charges such as murder or rape. Since preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in this county are held at one of the Sumter County facilities much longer.
Every year, Sumter County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 11,620 offenders.
We also provide photos of the jail that we have collected over the years.

The Sumter County Detention Center, first built at its existing location in 1965, is currently rated for 527 inmates. Over the years it has undergone many expansions, tear downs and renovations. As it stands today, it is an architectual marvel (from a jail point of view) and a model of inmate logistics and efficiency.
In the early 2000s the Sumter County Detention Center was a mess. With only 178 beds, there were days in which they had twice that number of inmates, with men sleeping on the floor and the place reeking of sweat, urine and cleaning fluids. The Sheriff's Department was spending lots of taxpayer money moving inmates back and forth from neighboring county jails to court every day. It was at that time they decided to either turn the operation over to a private prison management company or build a new facility. They chose the latter.
The first expansion came in 2010. They added 138,200 square feet of space at a total cost of $40 million. The expansion added a total of 192 beds, a laundry, visitation center, commissary, booking and release center, a 40-bed classification area, a 64 bed mental health area, a 24 bed special housing area, and a new medical clinic.
The second expansion was completed in 2021. It added 38,662 square feet with 256 beds. For $19 million, the county received a two level building of modular cells in multiple pods, with an enclosed fence walkway leading the adjoining buildings.
The Sumter County Detention Center, in a county well known for being home to the famous Villages Retirement Community for active adults, is located at 219 E Anderson Avenue in Bushnell, Florida. You can reach the jail 24 hours a day by calling 352-569-1700.
You can look up inmates online using the Sumter County Inmate Jail Roster. It provides mugshots, criminal charges, bond amounts and personal information such as dates of birth on the newly arrested, current inmates and those who have been released. You can choose a date range.
The Sumter County Detention Center in downtown Bushnell is the county’s only jail. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office runs it at 219 E Anderson Avenue, Bushnell, FL 33513. The sheriff’s non-emergency line is (352) 569-1600, and jail staff answer questions about phone blocks at (352) 569-1700, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center has 521 beds and books about 4,600 people a year from every law enforcement agency in the county. It holds people awaiting trial, sentencing or transfer, plus those serving county sentences of up to a year. It is accredited by both the American Correctional Association and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. Weekly programs include religious services, Alcoholics Anonymous, GED classes and mental health services. A reentry team also screens new arrivals for drug court and veterans court and helps with housing, health care and transportation after release.
The sheriff’s Current SCDC Inmates portal shows who is in custody. For warrants, the FDLE wanted persons search covers the state, though it isn’t a complete list. Sumter is part of Florida’s Fifth Judicial Circuit. First appearance takes place within 24 hours of arrest (Florida Rule 3.130), and the judge may raise, lower or keep the bond.
The sheriff’s FAQ explains that the arresting officer records the bond from the court’s schedule, and the amount can’t be negotiated at the jail. Domestic charges wait for a judge, and warrant arrests use the bond written on the warrant. For 2026 the starting point is the Florida Supreme Court’s uniform statewide bond schedule, and the Fifth Circuit’s chief judge may set higher amounts. Florida’s Constitution (Article I, Section 14) guarantees most people reasonable pretrial release. The exceptions are capital or life felonies where proof is evident and cases where no conditions can protect the community. Statutes also require a judge’s review first for some serious offenses (sections 903.011, 903.046, 907.041). Low-level misdemeanors are often handled with a notice to appear. The sheriff doesn’t publish where cash bonds are paid or which payment types are accepted, so call before you go. If you use a bondsman, Florida sets the premium at 10% of the bond (Florida DFS). It isn’t refundable, and agents typically charge at least $100 on small bonds.
There are no in-person visits. All visiting is by video through HomeWAV (homewav.com), which also handles the jail’s phones, tablets and e-messaging. Visiting days, hours and prices are posted on HomeWAV’s site. Account holders must be 18 or older and upload a selfie and a government ID that match their registration. Children can take part only on a parent’s or guardian’s account with that adult present. Visitors must be modestly dressed, and recording visits, three-way calls and showing other screens are not allowed. People inside can use the phones from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., except during counts.
Since December 2018 the jail has accepted only postcards and legal mail through the post office. Address postcards to the person’s name at 219 E Anderson Avenue, Bushnell, FL 33513, and send photos or longer notes through HomeWAV messaging instead. To add money, use the 24-hour kiosk in the intake/release lobby, the kiosk at the visitation center during visiting hours, or commissarydeposit.com. The kiosks take cash, debit and credit cards. A $20 subsistence fee is taken at booking, and anyone released leaves with their remaining balance on a debit card.
We couldn’t confirm a fixed-route bus to the jail, so most families drive. Downtown Bushnell is small, and everything is within a few blocks. There’s a Chevron at 122 E Noble Ave and a Marathon at 504 N Main St. For a quick meal, try Coney Island Bushnell at 311 N Market St or El Azteca Mexican Cocina at 138 Bushnell Plaza, across from the courthouse. More chains, including Wendy’s and Culver’s, sit out by I-75 on County Road 48.
After an arrest, individuals are taken to Sumter County Detention Center for the booking process, where their identity is confirmed, charges are reviewed, and decisions are made about whether they will be released on bail or detained.
The arrested individual should remain silent during booking, as anything said could be used against them. It’s important to wait for legal representation before answering questions.
The booking process at Sumter County Detention Center includes the following steps:
The booking process can take anywhere from one hour to 48 hours. For questions about an arrestee’s bond or bail, contact the facility at 352-569-1700.
If someone has been booked at Sumter County Detention Center in Bushnell, their next steps may include:
1. Release without posting bail, provided they agree to attend court.
2. Detainment until their trial.
3. Posting bail or bond to secure release. For the exact amount, call 352-569-1700.
There are a variety of payment methods available for bail.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Sumter County Detention Center?
There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Sumter County Detention Center uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
**Call 352-569-1700 first to ask Sumter County Detention Center if this option is still available.
