Quick answer: Falkenburg Road Jail, at 520 N. Falkenburg Road in Tampa, is the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office’s largest housing jail, with a rated capacity of 3,300. People are booked at Orient Road Jail first, then housed here. You can find an inmate in the HCSO Arrest Inquiry, visit by video through smartinmate.com, and bond them out any time a bond is set.
What Falkenburg Road Jail Is (and How It Differs From Orient Road)
Hillsborough County runs two main jails a few minutes apart in east Tampa. Orient Road Jail handles Central Booking for the whole county. Falkenburg Road Jail is a housing facility. Some people who are not released after booking stay in housing at Orient Road, and others are moved to Falkenburg while their case moves through court.
That matters for families. If your loved one is at Falkenburg, they have usually been in custody for at least a day, and a bond may still be possible. Bonds can be set or lowered at first appearance, at a later bond hearing, or when an attorney files a motion.
How to Find an Inmate at Falkenburg Road Jail
Both Hillsborough jails share one official lookup, the HCSO Arrest Inquiry. Search by name, booking number, date of birth, booking date or release date. It updates every 30 minutes, and released people stay listed for 90 days.
The record shows the charges and any bond amount. If the bond field is blank, no bond has been set yet. Call us at 813.620.0298 and we will check what is needed.
