The Bradford Co Jail is a detention center located at 945 N Temple Ave Starke, FL which is operated locally by the Bradford County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Bradford County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Starke Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Florida here.

Money information - When entering the Jail, your money is put into an account for purchasing canteen items. If you need to send money out (one time only), submit a request to the Captain with your name, the person’s name and the amount. The person is issued a check and must present picture ID to Jail staff. Upon release, you will be issued a check for the balance of your account (minus any money you owe to the Jail). All funds deposited to inmate accounts must come from an official source e.g. government check or from a relative or someone on the inmate’s visiting record.

Money can be deposited into account over the phone (1-866-345-1884), by Internet (www.commissarydeposit.com) or the teller machine located in the Jail lobby (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m). Inmates may not have money deposited to another inmate’s account.

Phone Calls - Inmates may not use Jail staff phones except in an emergency. Not having an account or people not accepting collect calls is not a reason to use a Jail phone. Each pod has a collect call telephone, which is normally turned-on from 10:00 AM until 11:00 PM weekdays and until 2:00 AM on weekends (as long as the Pod is clean and orderly). A list of local Bondsmen is posted on the bulletin board; they accept collect calls. To use the phone, you will need your PIN number, which is your MNI number without the letters and a 01in back. Example: If your MNI number is BCSO09MNI000437, then your PIN will be 0900043701. Inmates may not use another inmate’s PIN to make calls.
