About the Baker County Detention Center

On the outskirts of town and surrounded by trees before the fields can be reached, the 510-bed Baker County Detention Center is a campus that consists of several buildings, expansive parking lots, and has an outdoor recreational area. This facility not only houses offenders from Baker County who have been arrested on either felony or misdemeanor charges until their court date or during a short sentence but is also an illegal alien local holding facility for ICE.

To get any information on an inmate call 904-259-3311 during business hours, and an online roster is also maintained.

Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment. 

Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks. 

The Baker County Detention Center also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills. 

No incoming calls are accepted in the housing areas, so inmates are only able to make outgoing calls, which can be funded through their commissary account or their phone account.
