Martin County Jail Overview

The Martin County Jail sits on the Sheriff's Office campus at 800 SE Monterey Road in Stuart. The Martin County Sheriff's Office Department of Corrections operates it as the county's adult detention facility. The people held here are local: adults arrested in the county, pre-trial detainees waiting for a case to move, people serving short county sentences, and others held on a court order or an accepted hold for another agency. It is a county jail, not a state prison, so it does not hold sentenced felons serving long state terms.

Because it is a county jail, the lookup channel is the county roster the Sheriff's Office links to, not the statewide prison locator. The current Sheriff is John Budensiek, and the same Monterey Road campus houses the Records Unit that handles public records requests. The jail also posts a specific notice that immigration hold details cannot be disclosed through the Martin County Jail.

Martin County Jail Population

The clearest count for the Martin County Jail is the live roster total. A public check of the Tyler roster the Sheriff's Office links to returned 543 current results on June 3, 2026, with the data stamped as updated that same day. That figure is a same-day roster total rather than an audited average, and it moves with each booking and release. No official rated capacity or average daily population for the jail was published in the materials reviewed, so those metrics are left out rather than guessed.

How to Look Up an Inmate at the Martin County Jail

The county jail uses an online roster from Tyler that the Sheriff's Office links from its jail inmate search page. It lists arrest information and photographs of people currently incarcerated in the county. For help beyond the roster, the same page lists the Department of Corrections assistance line at 772-220-7200.

The Sheriff's homepage carries both a jail lookup button and a public records button, which are the two main doors into county custody information.

1. Open the Tyler Corrections Records Search portal for Martin County from the Sheriff's jail inmate search page.
2. Search by the inmate's last name.
3. Confirm the result is the right person using the booking date, age, and arresting agency.
4. Open the profile for charges, bond, the booking photo, and custody status.

Access Channels for the Martin County Jail

The roster answers most questions, but a few situations call for a different channel. A booking can be too new to show, a record can be partly exempt, or the person may have moved into another custody system. The county and state offer a clear set of fallbacks in a sensible order.

Pick the channel that matches the gap the roster left.

• Call the Department of Corrections line at 772-220-7200 for a brand-new booking or a custody question.
• File a public records request through the Sheriff's JustFOIA portal for a booking record not online.
• Use the Florida Department of Corrections locator for anyone already sentenced to state prison.
• Use the federal Bureau of Prisons locator for sentenced federal inmates.
• Contact ICE at 305-207-2001 for an immigration hold, which the county jail cannot disclose.

No official Martin County Sheriff inmate or warrant app was found in this review, so the website and phone line remain the main ways in.

Martin County Jail Address and Contact

The jail shares the Sheriff's Office address in Stuart. The Department of Corrections line handles jail assistance, while the Records Unit, at the same address, handles records business on weekdays.

Public Records and Fees at the Martin County Jail

Booking records, incident reports, and other non-exempt documents come from the Sheriff's Records Unit rather than the live roster. The Records Unit defines public records by reference to the Florida Public Records Act and warns that some material, including certain inmate and investigative records, can be exempt or redacted. A complete request with the person's name, date of birth, and booking date moves fastest.

The Sheriff publishes a fee schedule for copies and media, so the cost is clear up front.

Mailed requests need a self-addressed stamped envelope, the office does not fulfill requests by fax, and a special service charge can apply to large or time-intensive requests.

Visiting Someone at the Martin County Jail

The Sheriff's Corrections Department visitation notice sets daily windows that run every day of the week, holidays included, as staffing allows. Visits use a kiosk system and come with firm conduct rules. Confirm the day's schedule with the jail before traveling, since the windows depend on staffing.

The notice bars items that look like weapons, lewd behavior, excessive profanity, recording a visit, and known or suspected alcohol or illegal substances. It also bars a visitor from operating a motor or electric vehicle during a remote visit.

Mail, Phone, and Money at the Martin County Jail

The official materials reviewed did not name the jail's mail format, phone vendor, or money-deposit provider, so those specifics are not stated here. The reliable step is to call the Department of Corrections line to confirm the current process before sending anything. The records portal handles document requests rather than inmate contact.

Booking and Intake at the Martin County Jail

After an arrest in the county, a person is taken to the jail for booking unless the arresting agency releases them by notice or summons. The roster shows the public result of that intake: 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 step list for property handling, medical screening, or classification, so those internal stages are not documented online.

A very recent booking may not appear until the next data refresh, which is when the jail line is the right fallback. The court charges that follow are tracked separately, a path covered on the court records after a jail arrest page.

Bond and Release at the Martin County Jail

The roster shows practical bond data for people held at the jail. Sample records carry cash or surety bonds with set amounts, along with a not bondable status on some charges. A bond setting can list an amount, a type, and a status such as available to post, though the county turns off the display of bond fee calculations.

Posting bond starts with reading the roster entry, then confirming with the jail before paying, especially when a charge reads as not bondable or several charges stack. A licensed Florida bail agent handles a surety bond, while a cash bond is posted directly. A hold or detainer can keep a person in custody even after bond is posted on one charge, and the jail cannot disclose immigration hold details. Official local rules for accepted payment methods and bond-window hours were not published, so confirm those with the jail directly.

About the Martin County Jail and Records

Detailed jail programming, reentry, and conditions pages were not published in the Sheriff's online materials reviewed, so this page does not describe programs the county does not document. What is well documented is the records process.

Requests for booking records or other non-exempt documents go through the Sheriff's JustFOIA portal, with status tracked by a request number and security key, a self-addressed stamped envelope required for mail, and no fax fulfillment. For a sentenced inmate who has left the jail for state prison, the jail inmate records page explains the move to the statewide locator.
