Glades County Jail Inmate Search & Arrest Records (FL)

If you are searching for a family member or friend arrested in Moore Haven, Buckhead Ridge, Lakeport, or Palmdale, you must check the Glades County Sheriff’s Office.

⚠️ VERY URGENT NOTE (Read This First): This jail is not like other jails. It is special because it keeps two types of people:

Local Criminals: People arrested by police for crimes (like theft, fighting, driving fast).
ICE Detainees (Immigration): People caught by Immigration officers because of visa or passport problems.

You must know which one your person is. If you check the wrong list, you will think they are missing. I will explain step-by-step how to find them on both lists.

Do not pay money to fake websites. You can check for free. Follow these steps carefully.

Method 1: For Local County Arrests (Sheriff List)

If the police (Sheriff Deputy) arrested them in Glades County, follow this:

Open Official Site: Go to the Glades County Sheriff “Jail View”.
Enter Name: Type the Last Name of the person in the search box.
Check Details:
- “Booked”: This means they are sleeping in the jail right now.
- “Released”: This means they paid money and went home.

Method 2: For ICE Immigration Detainees (Federal List)

If Immigration officers took them, they will NOT be on the Sheriff list. You must check the Federal list.

Open ICE Website: Go to the ICE Detainee Locator System.
Select Country: You must pick the country where they were born (like India, Mexico, etc.).
Type Details: You must type the name exactly like it is on their Passport.
- Tip: If they have an “A-Number” (Alien Registration Number), use that. It is faster. It looks like “A-123456789”.

Bail Bond and Release Process Information

If your person is in for local crime (Sheriff case), you can pay money to get them out.

Cash Bond: You pay full amount at the jail lobby. Bring exact cash or Cashier’s Check.
Bail Bondsman: If amount is too big (like $5,000), you hire a “Bondsman”. You pay them 10% (like $500) and they pay the rest.
ICE Hold: If they have “ICE Hold” or “Detainer,” you cannot bail them out easily. You need an Immigration Lawyer. Do not waste money on Bondsman before checking this.

Release Time: It is not instant. After you pay money, it takes 3 to 6 hours for paperwork. You have to wait in the car or lobby. Be patient.
