Arrested in Homestead? All Miami-Dade County bookings process through the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Homestead sits at the southern tip of mainland Miami-Dade County, over 40 miles from the Turner Guilford Knight (TGK) Correctional Center where all county bookings happen. When Homestead Police Department or the MDPD South District makes an arrest, the transport to TGK can take over an hour. The person will not appear in the MDPD inmate search until after arrival and booking at TGK. Call the corrections info line at (786) 263-5600. For full details on TGK and the Miami-Dade system, see our Miami bail bonds page.
Homestead is the last major city before the Florida Keys. Florida City, immediately south, is the gateway to US-1 toward Key Largo and Key West. Arrests on US-1 in the Homestead-Florida City corridor fall under Miami-Dade County jurisdiction and book at TGK. Once you cross into Monroe County heading south toward the Keys, it is a completely different jail in Marathon or Key West. If someone was arrested "near Homestead on the way to the Keys," the county line matters.
Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB) is located adjacent to the city. Military personnel arrested off-base go through the standard Miami-Dade County booking process at TGK. On-base incidents fall under federal military jurisdiction. If you are unsure whether the arrest was on-base or off-base, call Homestead PD at (305) 247-1535 first to confirm jurisdiction.
Homestead is the center of Miami-Dade County's agricultural industry, with large nurseries, farms, and the Homestead-Miami Speedway. The area south of Homestead includes the Robert Is Here fruit stand corridor and the entrance to Everglades National Park. Seasonal agricultural workers and Speedway event attendees contribute to arrest patterns that differ from urban Miami.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Miami-Dade County bondsman who can post at the facility.
All arrests in these cities are processed through the county jail. The booking and bail process described above applies to every one of them.
