Where does someone arrested in Hialeah go?

Hialeah Police Department has its own temporary holding facility for initial processing. However, for longer detention, court appearances, or if bond is not posted quickly, the person is transferred to the Miami-Dade TGK Correctional Center at 7000 NW 41st Street, Miami. Always check both the HPD and the Miami-Dade Corrections inmate search.

Is the Hialeah jail the same as the Miami-Dade jail?

No. The Hialeah Police Department runs a local temporary holding facility separate from the county system. HPD handles initial booking and short-term custody. If the person is not released quickly on bond, they are transferred to the Miami-Dade county system (TGK). Once transferred, all bond posting and court proceedings happen through the county.

Can I post bail at the Hialeah Police Department?

For minor offenses where the person has not yet been transferred to the county, you may be able to post bond directly through Hialeah PD. However, once the person is transferred to TGK, you must post through the Miami-Dade county system. Call the bondsman at (941) 477-6888 to confirm where the person is currently held.

Two Possible Locations: HPD and TGK

Hialeah is the sixth-largest city in Florida and has its own police department with a temporary holding facility. This creates a situation that confuses families: the person arrested in Hialeah might be at one of two locations depending on how quickly you act.

Hialeah Police Department (HPD) Jail — A local, temporary holding facility managed by Hialeah PD. Used for initial processing, booking, and short-term custody. This is NOT a long-term facility.
Turner Guilford Knight (TGK) Correctional Center — 7000 NW 41st Street, Miami, FL 33166. The main Miami-Dade County intake facility. If the person is not released on bond quickly from HPD, they are transferred here for county processing.

Time matters. If you can post bond while the person is still at Hialeah PD, the release process is significantly faster than waiting for the transfer to TGK. Once at TGK, you are looking at the standard Miami-Dade county release timeline of 8 to 12 hours. A bondsman who knows Hialeah can tell you immediately where the person is and which route to take.

How to Find Which Location They Are At

Start by checking the Miami-Dade Corrections inmate search portal. If the person appears in the county system, they have been transferred to TGK. If they do not appear yet, they may still be at Hialeah PD. You can also call TGK directly at 786-263-5550.

Hialeah's Predominantly Spanish-Speaking Community

Hialeah is approximately 94% Hispanic, making it the city with the highest percentage of Hispanic residents in the United States. The bail bond process, court paperwork, and legal documents are all in English, which creates a real barrier for many families navigating an arrest for the first time.

When you call QuickBail at (941) 477-6888, we connect you with agents who are bilingual (English/Spanish) and can walk you through the entire process in your preferred language. The legal obligations are the same regardless of language, but understanding what you are signing as a co-signer is critical.

The 11th Judicial Circuit

Hialeah, like all of Miami-Dade County, falls under the 11th Judicial Circuit. First appearance hearings happen within 24 hours via video from TGK. If the person is still at Hialeah PD and has not been transferred, the clock is still ticking on the 24-hour first appearance requirement. For a full breakdown of how the 11th Circuit handles bail, see our Miami bail bonds page.
