Effective October 5, 2009, inmate contact visits will be eliminated, except under extenuating circumstances as authorized by the respective facility supervisors, throughout Miami-Dade County’s six correctional facilities.
Inmates will continue to be afforded with the ability to have regular underglass visits. Visits are allowed on certain visitation days and times as specified in a list compiled by the inmate and approved by the corrections facility.
This initiative has been enacted to enhance security within the system and to streamline costs that have been incurred by the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department.
The Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department is the largest jail system in Florida and the seventh largest in the country. On average, the Department has nearly 7,000 persons incarcerated in its six (6) detention facilities located throughout Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department remains committed to providing professional correctional services.
