The Levy Co Jail is a detention center located at 9150 NE 80th Ave Bronson, FL which is operated locally by the Levy 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. Levy County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Bronson 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.

The Levy County Detention Bureau serves the community by ensuring the safe, secure, and humane detention of individuals in custody. It provides proper care and supervision of all offenders under its jurisdiction while assisting, as appropriate, with their re-entry into society. The Detention Bureau is a non-smoking facility with a maximum capacity of 304 inmates, who do not have access to televisions or newspapers. Qualified and licensed medical staff are employed, and the medical facility operates ten hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, the Bureau contracts monthly with an outside medical facility for physician services.

Various inmate programs are available throughout the week at the Levy County Detention Bureau. These programs include Religious Services, Alcoholics Anonymous, Anger Management, and Life Skills Classes that cover topics such as parenting, health and nutrition, and workplace readiness.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can reduce sentences by one day for every 24 hours of work. Inmate workers receive double feeding trays and two mattresses. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, orders may be doubled. Indigent inmates must miss two commissary days to receive a weekly indigent pack containing basic hygiene items, and indigent mail is stamped only for the Attorney of Record or the Court. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage.
