Look Up Martin County Jail Inmates

Martin County Jail Roster Overview

The Martin County Sheriff's Office Department of Corrections runs the county jail and the public inmate search tied to it. Rather than host the roster on its own site, the Sheriff's Office links out to a Tyler Corrections Records Search portal that lists arrest information and photographs of people currently incarcerated in the county. A public check of the system on June 3, 2026 showed a data update stamped that same day, so the feed runs close to current. Released inmates generally drop off the roster once the booking closes.

The county roster has a hard boundary. It does not show people who have been sentenced to state prison, who moved into federal custody, or who are held on an immigration matter. Sentenced felons appear in the Florida Department of Corrections locator, federal inmates in the Bureau of Prisons locator, and immigration detainees in the ICE system. The Sheriff's Office adds a pointed note that immigration hold details cannot be released through the Martin County Jail at all.

How to Use the Martin County Inmate Roster

The fastest path to a record is the Sheriff's jail inmate search page, which carries the click-through to the roster and the 772-220-7200 assistance line for the Department of Corrections. A last name is usually all you need to begin.

The result screen lists matching current inmates, and each entry opens into a profile with charges, bond, and a booking photo.

1. Open the Tyler Corrections Records Search portal for Martin County from the Sheriff's jail inmate search page.
2. Type the inmate's last name; leaving the rest blank returns a wider list to scan.
3. Filter by arresting agency or an arrest date range when a name is common.
4. Open the profile to read the charges, bond type and amount, booking date, and the booking photo.

Martin County Roster Search Fields

The portal accepts more than a name. Its public configuration and interface expose an arresting agency filter, age limits, and an arrest date range, all of which help when several people share a surname. The arresting agency list is unusually broad, which doubles as a useful picture of who books people into the jail.

Note: button labels on the portal include Search, Clear, and Reset, though their exact placement can change as the vendor updates the interface.

What a Martin County Inmate Profile Shows

Martin County leaves many Tyler fields visible, so a profile is fuller than in many counties. Date of birth, charge detail, address city and state, aliases, and the booking photo are all enabled in the instance settings. A sample of public records inspected on June 3, 2026 showed the fields below on a typical current inmate.

Some fields are not in the public data. Housing unit or pod, warrant number, judge, next court date, and projected release date did not appear in the sample, so the roster should not be used to find a cell assignment or a release date. Bond fee figures are also turned off in the county configuration.

Martin County Inmate Record Terms

A handful of terms come up again and again on the roster and in custody records, and a quick definition makes a profile far easier to read. These are the ones that trip people up most often when they first open a Martin County record.

SO Number

The local Sheriff's Office identifier for a person in the Martin County roster.

DC Number

The Florida Department of Corrections six-character identifier for a sentenced state inmate, which is different from the SO number.

Detainer or hold

Another agency's legal basis to keep a person in custody even after bond is posted on a charge.

Not bondable

A roster status meaning the person cannot be released on an ordinary posted bond for that charge or hold.

Pretrial detainee

Someone held before their case is resolved, which describes much of the county jail population.

Why a Martin County Inmate May Not Appear

A blank search does not always mean the person is not in custody. Several ordinary situations keep a name off the live county roster, and each points to a different next step rather than a dead end. Working through them in order usually finds the person.

• The booking is very recent and has not reached the next data refresh.
• The person was released, so the booking has closed and dropped off the roster.
• They were sentenced and moved to state prison, which shifts them to the FDC locator.
• They are held on an immigration matter, which the county jail does not disclose.
• The record is a juvenile matter, which sits outside the public adult roster.

Matching the reason to the fix is the whole game. Call the jail for a brand-new booking, switch locators for a sentenced or federal inmate, and use a records request for anything older or partly exempt.

Finding County, State, and Federal Inmates

Using the wrong locator is the main reason a search fails. The county roster covers pre-trial detainees and short county sentences. A sentenced felon moves to the Florida Department of Corrections inmate search, which refreshes weekly with nightly release updates. Federal and immigration custody each use their own federal systems, and the Sheriff's Office routes immigration questions to ICE at 305-207-2001.

The federal locator covers sentenced federal inmates and some prior federal custody, but it does not publish booking mugshots the way the county roster does.

Access Channels Beyond the Martin County Roster

The online roster is the fastest channel, but it is not the only one, and it is not always enough. A booking can be too recent to show, a record can be partly exempt, or the person may already have moved to another custody system. Florida and Martin County offer a clear chain of fallbacks, and knowing the order saves time when the first search comes up empty.

Each channel answers a different gap in the roster, so the right one depends on what the roster could not tell you.

• The jail assistance line at 772-220-7200 for a booking too new to appear or a custody question.
• A public records request through the Sheriff's JustFOIA portal or Records Unit for a booking record not online.
• The Florida Department of Corrections locator for anyone already sentenced to state prison.
• The federal Bureau of Prisons locator for sentenced federal inmates.
• The ICE online detainee locator for an immigration hold, which the county jail cannot disclose and routes to ICE at 305-207-2001.
• VINELink Florida for custody-change and release notifications.

No official Martin County Sheriff inmate or warrant app turned up in this review, so there is no app-only roster to fall back on. The website and the phone line remain the primary channels.

Martin County Jail and Related Facilities

Three facilities hold people connected to the county. The county jail in Stuart handles local custody, while two Florida Department of Corrections facilities near Indiantown hold sentenced state inmates. The county roster only answers for the first; the state locator answers for the other two.

Booking Process in Martin County

After a Martin County arrest, the person is taken to the county jail for booking unless the arresting agency releases them by notice or summons. The roster reflects the public result of that intake. It records the arrest date and time, a separate booking date and time, the arresting agency, physical descriptors, an SO number, the charges, and the bond. The Sheriff's Office does not publish a detailed step list for property handling, medical screening, or classification, so those internal stages are not documented online.

Bookings can take time to appear. The live Tyler feed updates frequently, but a very recent arrest may not show until the next data refresh, which is when the jail assistance line at 772-220-7200 becomes the right fallback. The court charges that follow an arrest are handled separately and can differ from the booking charges, a path covered on the court records after a jail arrest page.

Martin County Jail Visitation Hours and Rules

The Sheriff's Corrections Department visitation notice sets daily windows that run every day of the week, holidays included, as staffing allows. Visits run on a kiosk system, and the notice lists firm conduct rules. The schedule below reflects the posted time windows.

Because the windows depend on staffing, confirm the day's schedule with the jail before traveling.

The rules bar any item that is or looks like a weapon, lewd behavior, excessive profanity, recording or photographing a visit, and known or suspected alcohol or illegal substances. One unusual rule stands out: during a remote visit, the visitor may not operate a motor or electric vehicle.

How to Contact a Martin County Inmate

Beyond a scheduled visit, the official materials reviewed did not publish the jail's mail address format, phone vendor, or video-visit vendor, so those specifics are not stated here rather than guessed. The reliable channel is the Department of Corrections line at 772-220-7200, which can confirm how to reach a specific inmate and whether a hold affects contact. For records rather than contact, the Sheriff's Records Unit handles requests.

Commissary, Funds, and Records Requests

Commissary vendor names, deposit limits, and fee tables for the Martin County Jail were not posted in the official materials reviewed, so this page does not name a money-deposit provider. What is documented is the records path. A booking record or other non-exempt document not visible online can be requested through the Sheriff's JustFOIA public records portal, with status tracked by a request number and security key. Mailed requests need a self-addressed stamped envelope, and the office does not fulfill requests by fax.
