JAIL411 / LOCAL ORIENTATION ·
| Facility and guide | Street address | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Turner Guilford Knight / TGK → | 7000 NW 41st Street, Miami, FL 33166 | 786-263-5341 |
| Pre-Trial Detention Center / PTDC → | 1321 NW 13th Street, Miami, FL 33125 | 786-263-4110 |
| Metro West Detention Center → | 13850 NW 41st Street, Miami, FL 33178 | 786-263-5110 |
TGK is the designated release center; PTDC is near the Civic Center courts; Metro West is farther west. A physical jail address is not the Tampa personal-mail address. Ordinary family visits use video; the provider announces a move to Securus on October 1, 2026 while county registration instructions still name GTL. Open the facility guide before booking or funding an account. Boot Camp, juvenile custody and historical facility records remain separate.

Understand jail and prison differencesJail411 is an independent information resource for families and friends. We are not a government agency, jail operator, law firm or live custody-records service.
Usually Miami Dade County Boot Camp, (786) 263-5810. The arresting agency books the person and the jail holds them; ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you act on anything.
Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county\'s warrant, or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking, and ask the bondsman what happens if there are, before you pay.
Confirm the person\'s current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility guide before you travel.
Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
Understand Miami-Dade’s Criminal Mental Health Project, the difference between pre- and post-booking help, and questions to bring to counsel or the program.
