Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Broward County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

The current Florida Department of State jail directory publishes this facility contact for Broward County. Use it for general county jail assistance; it is not represented as a dedicated booking hotline.

Broward County jail/facility assistance: +19548315900

Call the listed county jail contact and ask staff how to confirm custody, release or transfer. A fresh municipal arrest may still be with the arresting police agency. The number was not called.

State-published general facility contact. A dedicated booking desk, answered telephone, individual custody result or current telephone menu option is not claimed.

Search Florida participating-agency custody — VINE name-search fields reached without signing in; participating-agency coverage must be verified This form is FDC state prison notification; separate county jail services need local verification.

Local source reviewed 2026-10-05. This is published phone assistance; the number was not called.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the Florida correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

State-prison and state-supervision records; explicitly excludes county jail/probation

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Search the Federal BOP locator U.S. Marshals district directory

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.

Nearby counties in Florida

If the arrest happened just across a county line, these Florida counties are geographic navigation aids. Open a guide for official custody resources; these links do not establish detention or transport destinations.

If you need to bail them out in Florida

Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are being held, this is how getting them out works in Florida.

Commercial bail available

Release depends on the court’s order. A payment is not required in every case. Ask the court which secured-bond options, if any, are permitted; a private commercial bond service has separate fees and conditions. Confirm the process before paying anyone.

The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.

Common questions about finding someone in Broward County

How do I find someone who was just arrested in Broward County?

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility.

How do I find someone in state prison from Broward County?

For a state-prison sentence, use the Florida correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

Is there a free way to check if someone is in custody in Florida?

Public custody searches are free. VINE name-search fields reached without signing in; participating-agency coverage must be verified This form is FDC state prison notification; separate county jail services need local verification. Check whether the responsible local agency participates. Use its contact when the service is unavailable; a missing record does not establish release.

Ask the court or responsible jail for the release order and permitted options. Court deposits and private service fees are different, conditions vary, and payment does not guarantee release.
