The Metro West Detention is a detention center located at 13850 NW 41st St Miami, FL which is operated locally by the Dade County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Dade County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Miami Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Metro West Detention Center, the largest facility in the Miami-Dade County Corrections system, can house up to 3,098 adult male inmates of maximum, medium, and minimum custody levels. In 2009, inmate contact visits were largely eliminated across Miami-Dade County’s six correctional facilities, except under special circumstances authorized by facility supervisors. Inmates still have the opportunity for regular under-glass visits on specified visitation days and times, as approved by the corrections facility from a list compiled by the inmate.

The Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, the largest jail system in Florida and the seventh-largest in the United States, typically has nearly 7,000 individuals incarcerated across its five detention facilities located throughout Miami-Dade County. The Department is committed to providing professional correctional services.

For inmate release, if an inmate has bondable charges, they can bond out at any time, 24/7, throughout the year. To locate a bondsman, one can refer to the Yellow Pages, as the facility does not recommend or solicit bondsman services. For further information on bonding out an inmate or to find out the bond amount, individuals can call inmate information at 786-263-7000. Additionally, information on charges and an inmate's jail number can be found in the Inmate Search Section on the facility's website.

Fugitive Extradition Hearings are held at 9:00 a.m. from Monday to Friday, where a judge will hear the case, providing the defendant the opportunity to either waive extradition or request further hearings before extradition.

Pretrial Release (PTR) involves several entities: courts perform Release Own Recognizance (ROR), jails perform Promised To Appear (PTA) releases, and police agencies conduct street citation releases. Bail, whether by cash or through a bond agency, is also a form of pretrial release. Pretrial Services (PTS), a local county agency, releases individuals free of charge before their trial, ensuring that they return to court as directed so their cases can be properly resolved.

For inmate mail, all correspondence is opened and inspected for safety and security according to mail guidelines. Proper addressing of mail to a Miami-Dade County inmate requires including the inmate's full name, booking number, cell location, and facility address.

Books, magazines, newspapers, and religious materials must be paperback and mailed directly by the publisher or a bookstore. These parcels must contain an invoice with a company logo or a company packing slip with business name and contact information. Publications containing nudity or sexually-oriented material are prohibited. All correspondence must be sent via the United States Postal Service (USPS), as correspondence from other couriers or delivery services will be refused.
