Glades County JAIL View Booking Search

The Glades County Sheriff's Office uses a system called JAIL View to display current inmate and booking data. You can access it at the Glades County JAIL View portal. The system has a "BOOKED Last 24 Hours" feature that shows only the most recent arrests. This is one of the better tools for checking 24 hour booking activity because it filters down to just what happened in the past day.

Each entry on the JAIL View system shows the person's name, charges, and booking details. The charges cover a range of offenses. Recent entries have included things like stalking, vehicle theft, resisting an officer, and filing a false report. The data gives you a clear picture of what is going on at the jail at any given time.

The tool is free. No login is needed. It works on any device with a web browser. Results load quickly and are laid out in a table format. You can browse the full jail roster or narrow it down to just the last 24 hours of bookings. For a small county, this is a well-built system.

How Glades County 24 Hour Bookings Work

When someone is arrested in Glades County, they are taken to the county jail at 1297 East State Road 78 in Moore Haven. The booking process starts with photos and fingerprints. Officers record the person's name, date of birth, and physical description. Charges are logged with statute numbers. The arresting agency is noted. All of this goes into the system that feeds the JAIL View tool.

Glades County is one of the least populated counties in Florida. The sheriff's office is the primary law enforcement agency. There is no separate city police department in Moore Haven. The sheriff handles the whole county. This means all arrests run through one office and one jail. The booking records are centralized, which makes searching them simple.

Under Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes, these records are public. The sheriff's office must provide access when asked. The JAIL View portal is the easiest way to get that access. If you need certified copies or older records, you can submit a formal public records request to the sheriff's office.

Glades County Booking Records and Public Access

Florida's public records law is one of the strongest in the country. Section 119.011 gives a broad definition of what counts as a public record. Booking data fits clearly within it. That means 24 hour booking records from Glades County are open to anyone. You do not need to live in the county. You do not need to give a reason for your search.

There are some limits on what gets shared publicly. Section 119.071 lists exemptions for things like social security numbers and bank account details. These are never part of the public booking data anyway. Sealed and expunged records will not show up in the JAIL View system. Juvenile cases are kept out of the public roster entirely. But for adult bookings, the standard info is there for you to see.

An arrest does not equal a conviction. Booking records tell you who was brought in and what they were charged with. The courts handle the rest. If charges get dropped or a person is acquitted, the booking record stays in the system, but it should not be taken as proof of guilt. It is just a record of the arrest itself.
