Which system is holding them?

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

If the arrest was recent

Start with the county jail

A recent arrest in Miami-Dade County almost always means the county jail listed above, run by the local sheriff — not a state prison. Check that jail’s roster or search VINELink; if the booking is only a few hours old, call the jail’s booking desk.

Search VINELink (choose Florida)

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the state prison locator

Once a person is sentenced, they move from the county jail into the Florida Department of Corrections. Search the state inmate locator by name or ID — a county jail roster will not show a sentenced prisoner.

Open the Florida inmate locator

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge means federal custody — a separate system from any Florida county or state facility. Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator by name or register number.

Search the Federal BOP locator

Nearby counties in Florida

If the arrest happened just across a county line, these Florida counties are closest to Miami-Dade County. Open one for its jails and the exact official locators to search.

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

In Florida, commercial bail exists. If a judge sets money bail, it can be posted in cash directly with the court or through a licensed bail bond agent for a fee. A judge may also release the person on their own recognizance or on conditions, so ask the court or the jail what applies 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 Miami-Dade County

How do I find someone who was just arrested in Miami-Dade County?

Someone just arrested in Miami-Dade County is usually held at MIAMI DADE COUNTY BOOT CAMP or MIAMI DADE COUNTY TRAINING AND TREATMENT CENTER, run by the local sheriff. Check that jail’s roster or VINELink; if the booking is only hours old, call the jail’s booking desk. A brand-new arrest will not appear on the state prison locator.

How do I find someone in state prison from Miami-Dade County?

Once a person is sentenced they move into the Florida Department of Corrections. Search the state inmate locator by name or ID number — it is separate from the Miami-Dade County jail and from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

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

Yes. VINELink, the free national custody service, covers Florida: search by name and register for free alerts. County jail rosters, the state locator, and the Federal BOP are all free and official too. Skip paid inmate-search and mugshot sites.

How does bail work for someone held in Miami-Dade County?

Commercial bail exists in Florida: if a judge sets money bail, it can be posted in cash with the court or through a licensed bail bond agent for a fee, and a judge may also grant release on recognizance or on conditions.
