TGK Miami Mugshots: Arrests, Bookings & Jail Records

Miami-Dade County · Miami, Florida · TGK

Find TGK inmate mugshots, booking details and current Miami-Dade jail custody

If you are looking for a person booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, start with Miami-Dade’s official Inmate In-Custody Search. The county search can show the person’s current facility, charges, bond amount, jail number, booking date and time, and a mugshot when available. For an older jail record, arrest report or final criminal case result, use the separate official record source that maintains that information.

Local context

What does “TGK Miami” mean?

TGK is the common abbreviation for Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, a Miami-Dade County jail facility operated by the Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation Department. It is not a Florida state prison and is not operated by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

TGK performs an important system-wide role in Miami-Dade corrections. County materials identify it as an intake and release center, and Miami-Dade’s current inmate-release guidance says people leaving county jail are released from TGK.

Current inmate Use the MDCR Inmate In-Custody Search.
Corrections record Request it from MDCR Central Records.
Arrest report Use the law-enforcement agency that made or documented the arrest.
Court outcome Use Miami-Dade Clerk criminal case records.
What the official search provides

What can appear in a Miami-Dade inmate-search result?

Miami-Dade says its Inmate In-Custody Search can display a list of people currently in custody with identifying, booking and jail information. Availability can change as custody information is updated.

Identity and booking fields

  • Name.
  • Date of birth.
  • Race and sex.
  • Jail number.
  • Booking date.
  • Booking time.

Custody and case-related fields

  • Current jail location.
  • Charges listed in the custody system.
  • Bond amount.
  • Mugshot when displayed by the county.

These are jail-system fields. They should not be read as a substitute for the later court docket. A booking charge can differ from what is eventually filed, amended or resolved in court.

TGK’s system role

TGK is an intake and release center for Miami-Dade Corrections

Miami-Dade county materials identify Turner Guilford Knight as a major intake facility within the corrections system. This helps explain why a person may first be associated with TGK and later appear at another Miami-Dade detention facility.

The county’s current release instructions designate TGK as the release center for Miami-Dade inmates. Releases are currently described as taking place between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Do not assume a court release order means the person walks out immediately. Court action, bond processing, identity checks, holds, paperwork and facility release processing can affect the actual time a person leaves custody.
Bond and release

How to check bond and release information

Miami-Dade says a person with bondable charges can bond out and directs the public to the inmate information line for current bond amounts. The live inmate search can also show bond information associated with the custody record.

Release can occur through several routes, including posting bond, pretrial release or a court hearing. A listed bond amount therefore does not guarantee that the same amount or release condition remains unchanged.

After release

TGK also handles inmate property pickup

Miami-Dade’s current release guidance says property collected during booking is generally available from the TGK Property Room for up to 30 days. An inmate who is still in custody can authorize a representative to pick up property.

After 30 days, property is stored offsite and arrangements are required. Miami-Dade currently lists 786-263-5355 for those arrangements.

Current Property Room hours: Miami-Dade lists Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. Verify the schedule before traveling because facility procedures can change.
MDCR records

Request Miami-Dade Corrections records separately from arrest reports

Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation has a Central Records process for records maintained by the corrections department. The county provides an online public-record request system that lets a requester submit and track a request.

MDCR asks for contact information, the subject of the requested record and enough detail to identify the documents. Its instructions also make an important distinction: records about arrests should be requested from the appropriate law-enforcement agency rather than from Corrections.

Current MDCR public-record copy fees

$0.15 Single-sided page
$0.20 Double-sided page
$1 Certified or color copy per page
$1 Video/CD per disk

Requests requiring more than 20 minutes of research or processing can carry an additional service charge based on staff labor. MDCR says it will provide an invoice or estimate and can require advance partial payment.

Arresting-agency record

Need the arrest report? Identify the law-enforcement agency first

TGK is a jail. The agency that arrested the person may be the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, Miami Police, Miami Beach Police, another municipal police department, a state agency or another authority.

Request the incident or arrest report from the agency that created it. If the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office handled the incident, its Public Records Center accepts online requests for offense/incident reports and other law-enforcement records.

Court disposition

Use Miami-Dade criminal court records to find what happened after booking

The Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller maintains criminal felony and misdemeanor case information. The Criminal Justice Online system can search using several identifiers, including case number, defendant information and jail number.

This is the correct handoff when the question changes from “was this person booked?” to “what charges were filed and what happened in court?”

Miami-Dade Clerk 305-275-1155

Certified criminal record requests

The Clerk currently lists certified copies at $7. When the requester does not know the case year or case number, the Clerk lists an additional $2 search fee for each year and each name searched.

The Clerk also warns that online electronic case access is not itself the official court record. When accuracy or certification matters, obtain the official record from the Clerk.

Miami-Dade Criminal Court Search Court Cases
Florida criminal history

Use FDLE when you need statewide Florida criminal-history information

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is Florida’s central repository for criminal-history information. Its public criminal-history search is a statewide service and is different from Miami-Dade’s live jail lookup.

FDLE currently lists the public criminal-history request fee at $24. Use this route when the goal is statewide Florida criminal-history information rather than determining whether someone is presently held at TGK or another Miami-Dade detention facility.

A statewide criminal-history search and a current jail roster answer different questions. For an arrest that may have happened today or recently in Miami-Dade, start with the county inmate search. Use FDLE when statewide record history is the actual intent.

State custody

Check Florida DOC after transfer to state prison or state supervision

Florida Department of Corrections records cover felony offenders sentenced to state prison or state supervision. FDC specifically distinguishes its records from people whose custody or supervision remains only at the county level.

If a person no longer appears in Miami-Dade’s jail system because the case resulted in a state-prison sentence, use Florida DOC’s Offender Search rather than continuing to search TGK.

Family support

Inmate trust deposits require the jail number

Miami-Dade uses inmate trust accounts for funds collected during intake and money deposited later by family or friends. Funds may be used for items such as commissary purchases and self-bonding where applicable.

Miami-Dade says depositors need the inmate’s name and inmate identification number, also called the jail number. Its current TouchPay facility number for Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation is 233101.

Cash deposits must be made at a lobby kiosk. Online and telephone deposits use the county’s currently designated payment vendor and can involve service charges.

Inmate contact

Confirm the inmate’s current facility before planning contact or visitation

Miami-Dade publishes inmate contact and visitation information for TGK, Metro West and Pre-Trial Detention Center. Because the current inmate search identifies the housing facility, check that result first instead of assuming the person remains at TGK.

Messages, photographs and other electronic communications are subject to facility review. Miami-Dade also publishes separate phone-system and professional-visitor instructions.

Troubleshooting

Why you may not find a TGK Miami mugshot or inmate result

The person was released
The live inmate lookup is designed for current custody. Use Corrections records, the arresting agency and the Clerk of Court for older information.
The person is at another Miami-Dade jail
A Miami-Dade booking does not mean current housing at TGK. Read the facility location shown in the inmate-search result.
The arrest is very recent
Booking and information-system processing can take time. Recheck the official county search or call inmate information if current custody is important.
The name is difficult to match
The inmate search requires at least three characters. Use verified legal spelling and additional available identifiers instead of relying only on a similar name.
You need the police narrative
A jail result is not the underlying arrest or offense report. Identify the arresting law-enforcement agency and request the appropriate record from that agency.
The person entered state prison
Once state correctional custody is the relevant question, switch to Florida Department of Corrections offender information.
Avoid false matches

Know which number belongs to which record system

Identifier Record system Best use
Jail number Miami-Dade Corrections Identifying an inmate and connecting custody information with court searching
Booking date/time Corrections booking record Distinguishing different jail admissions and same-name records
Police or Sheriff case number Arresting law-enforcement agency Requesting an offense, incident or arrest-related report
Court case number Miami-Dade Clerk Following filings, hearings, disposition and certified court records
Record accuracy

Verify identity and case outcome before repeating a TGK arrest

A mugshot can remain online after a person’s custody status or court case has changed. Compare the name, date of birth, jail number, booking date and other available identifiers before deciding a record belongs to the person you are researching.

When the outcome matters, leave the jail database and check the court. A booking-stage charge can later be changed, dismissed or resolved differently.

USA-Mugshots.com is an independent informational website. It is not Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller, FDLE or Florida Department of Corrections.

A mugshot or jail result is also not automatically a complete consumer report. Do not use this page as a substitute for a legally compliant screening process for employment, housing, credit, insurance or another regulated decision.

Identify the arresting agency first. If the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office handled the incident, use its Public Records Center. If another police department created the report, request it from that department.
Where do I check the final Miami-Dade criminal case result?
Use the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller Criminal Justice Online system. The Clerk maintains felony and misdemeanor criminal case information.
Can the court system be searched using a jail number?
Yes. Miami-Dade’s Criminal Justice Online system includes jail number as one of its criminal-case search methods.
