About the Hernando County Detention Center

The Hernando County Detention Center, located at 16425 Spring Hill Drive in Brooksville Florida is the central booking and intake center for the county sheriff's office and all the police departments operating in Hernando County. The jail can be reached by phone 24 hours a day by calling 352-544-2334. The inmates in their custody can be as high as 744, which is their rated capacity. Both males and females are incarcerated here, most are individuals who were recently arrested, can't afford bail and are awaiting trial. Others are already sentenced and have sentences of less than one year, and still others, although a smaller number, are juveniles between the ages of 14 and 17 who have been adjudicated for treatment as adults charged or sentenced on misdemeanor and felony crimes.

The Hernando County Detention Center was originally constructed in 1991, so it's well over 30 years old. It has undergone several minor renovations and small expansions over the years, but is currently at a critical point. Not only does the Sheriff want to expand the jail to at least 1,000 beds to prepare the expected growth in population in {county_extended], but he is concerned about the plumbing and general infrastructure in the existing buildings. In addition, there is currently inadequate housing for those in need of mental health services and those of a disciplinary population, no space for juvenile detainees, and a lack of storage needs in the warehouse and kitchen, among others. The site, which sits on about 30 acres, has an additional 10.5 acres of land to expand into. Costs range from $45 million to $400 million.

The Hernando County Detention Center provides inmates with services that include video visitation, phone use, messaging services and digitized mail. Inmates can buy up to $70 worth of commissary twice a month, and have a number of rehabilitative and educational programs available for inmates who are seeking help.
