The online Pinellas County jail inmate search is how Pinellas County Jail lists people in custody. Your first stop should be the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Who's In Jail tool. Records show up online only when the county periodically refreshes the database. If the arrest just happened, call (727) 464-6415 because a fresh booking might not show on the screen yet.

Pinellas County jail roster and inmate lookup

People in custody can be found through the Who's In Jail search, run by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. Several search fields on that site let you look someone up:

  • Booking number or inmate number; the jail gives the Booking number at intake as a tracking number
  • Street address or Booking date
  • The arresting agency, or the type of arrest

Charges and aliases can also be added to your results by checking boxes. An alias is a different name someone has gone by. The list is ordered by name, then race, then sex, then date of birth, then booking date, with booking number last. The system refreshes periodically, so a recent arrival might not show up right away.

Pinellas County jail inmate list and recent bookings

Intake for people arrested across the county happens at this facility. Each person shows up with arresting agency and arrest type on the Who's In Jail search once staff enter the paperwork. Anyone released during the past 30 days is also on the online list, along with everyone held right now.

Records refresh periodically rather than all at once. If someone was just arrested and doesn't appear online yet, call (727) 464-6415 to ask jail staff.

Mugshots: what the Pinellas County jail roster shows

Names, arrest records, or mugshots never appear on County Jail Lookup. Go straight to the Who's In Jail search to see what the county makes public about people in custody. It lists each person's booking number, booking date, date of birth, sex, race, and name. There's also an option to show aliases and charges in the results you get.

Steps to bail someone out in Pinellas County

To let someone leave before trial, the court receives money or a financial guarantee called a bond. In Florida, Chapter 903 of the Florida Statutes is the law for bail, and commercial bail bonding is available with regulated rates.

Check the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Post Bond page or call (727) 464-6415 for bond steps. You can also read how to bail someone out of jail or check the Florida inmate search page.

Pinellas County jail release time

The Who's In Jail search lets you see whether someone is out already. That tool includes people released in the past 30 days. Use the Sheriff's Office Records Request Portal for records when a release is more than 30 days old. To ask about a pending release today, call the jail at (727) 464-6415.

Questions and answers

How can I check whether someone is in Pinellas County jail?

Open the Who's In Jail website and search by booking number, inmate number, date, agency, arrest type, or address. If the arrest just happened and the person doesn't show yet, call (727) 464-6415.

At Pinellas County jail, how long does it take to be released?

You can call Pinellas County Jail at (727) 464-6415 to ask where a person is in the release process. Once the release is finished, the person stays listed on the Who's In Jail search for 30 days.

What can make an inmate not appear in search results?

Because the online roster updates from time to time, a new booking might not show up immediately. The search also only covers people held now or released within the last 30 days. Use the Sheriff's Office Records Request Portal when releases are older.
