Under Florida law, most defendants in Wakulla 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.

Want to know an inmate’s bail? Call the Wakulla County Juvenile Detention Center at 850-488-7672. 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.

Licensed to hold 56 inmates at any given time, the Wakulla County Juvenile Detention Center often has to make room for more offenders, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Florida, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over within a month, another 25-30% within 90 days, and another 15-20% within six months. Roughly 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Those who stay longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Wakulla County facilities much longer.

Wakulla County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 9,020 offenders every year.
