JAIL411 / LOCAL ORIENTATION ·

Three detention centers. Different destinations.

Facility and guideStreet addressPhone
Turner Guilford Knight / TGK →7000 NW 41st Street, Miami, FL 33166786-263-5341
Pre-Trial Detention Center / PTDC →1321 NW 13th Street, Miami, FL 33125786-263-4110
Metro West Detention Center →13850 NW 41st Street, Miami, FL 33178786-263-5110

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.

Different custody systems.
Different places to start.

A Miami-dade County arrest usually means the county jail. A state sentence, a federal case or an immigration hold means a different system with its own locator and rules.

Who holds someone arrested in Miami-dade County?

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.

Does posting bond mean the person comes home?

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.

What should I confirm before visiting?

Confirm the person\'s current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility guide before you travel.

What if I find something that needs correcting?

Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
