Intake & Release Process
Individuals who have been placed under arrest are first transported to Broward Sheriff's Office Central Intake Unit, which is located at the Main Jail in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Upon arrival, they must complete the following steps:
•    Property Intake
•    Medical Screening
•    Fingerprinting
•    Photographing
•    Warrants Check

While the staff at Central Intake is dedicated to ensuring the prompt processing and release of eligible arrestees, the amount of time required to complete this process may be affected by the volume of arrestees being processed simultaneously and/or the availability of information from state and national databases.

Appearance in Magistrate Court
Arrestees who are not bonded out of jail appear before a magistrate judge the day following the arrest (including Saturdays and Sundays). Proceedings usually begin at 8 a.m., however this depends upon the presiding judge. The judge will inform the arrestee of the charge(s) and, if appropriate, will set a bond amount.
In misdemeanor cases, the judge may accept a guilty plea and release the arrestee on his or her own recognizance or for time-served.

Magistrate proceedings may be viewed on the monitor located in the lobby of BSO's Main Jail.
Housing Assignments
Individuals who are not released on bond are assigned to one of five BSO jails based upon objective criteria. This criteria ensures that inmates are housed in the least restrictive and safest unit possible based upon level of security required. Housing assignments are not made based on proximity to an inmate's home, but rather on the premise of assigning an inmate to the jail facility that can best meet his or her needs.

Inmate Activities, Services & Programs

ExpertBail Agent: Randy Stern

At first sight, your first impression of Randy Stern would NOT be that of a bail bondsman. Maybe a soccer mom or bank teller, but not a person who frequents the county jail. Her professional background in mental health and working with the elderly would not directly link her to the bail bond industry. David Stern Bail Bonds is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was her father-in-law's business for over 30 years and after his passing in 2008, she took over the family business. This brought her passion for helping people to a whole new industry.

As a licensed clinical social worker, Randy developed her love for helping people and reaching out to those in need. She has used the same approach in her community where she co-founded a volunteer Holiday Outreach Program where she and other Aventura professionals travel to various nursing homes and assisted living facilities singing "golden oldies" to the residents.

Today, Randy applies those social work and psychology skills in her family centered bail bond business. Located directly across the street from the Broward County Jail, David Stern Bail Bonds continues to provide excellent customer service. According to Randy, the career she is most proud of is that of wife and mother. Although her children are still too young to fully understand what she does at the jail, they will surely be proud of how grandpa's business continues to grow and flourish, paving the way for their future.

Alachua County, Florida Jail Information

The Alachua County Jail
3333 NE 39th Ave
Gainesville, FL 32609
http://www.alachuasheriff.org/jail/

On January 18, 1998, the ACSO Department of the Jail became a reality when the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, through an Interlocal Agreement, transferred the responsibility for the County Jail to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.

The Department of the Jail is a 1148 bed, 314,000 square foot facility which incarcerates adult male and female offenders for up to one year. The core facility was completed in January 1994.
In 2007, two renovations were completed which added 60 additional beds to the facility (40 beds in C Zone and 20 beds in D Zone). This raised the number of beds to 980; and, with a classification factor of 15%, the optimal number of inmates to be housed is 833. In addition, groundbreaking has been held for a new 168 bed addition, which should be completed by the Fall of 2008. This will increase the total number of beds to 1,148; and, after a classification factor of 15%, the optimum number of inmates that can be housed after the new construction is completed is 975.

Inmate Lookup The Department of the Jail is commanded by the Director who reports to the Chief Deputy. The jail is comprised of the Security Operations Division, Support Services Division, Inmate Programs and Community Outreach Bureau, and the Inmate Services Division.
