Committed to the county jail are prisoners who may be charged with any type of crime or violation, including homicide, rape, DUI, trespass, etc. The Sheriff is responsible to assure that all prisoners are kept secure and properly cared for. He must continually conform to numerous rules and regulations set forth by Florida Law, such as providing contact visitation, education and rehabilitation.

In order to provide a safe and secure correctional institution for these inmates, the Sheriff's Office employs full and part-time Detention Deputies. These positions consist of Detention Deputies, Sergeants,

 Lieutenants, and a Captain.
