The Polk Co Central Jail is a detention center located at 2390 Bob Phillips Rd Bartow, FL which is operated locally by the Polk 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. Polk County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Bartow 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 Inmate Handbook Rules and Regulations contain the rights and responsibilities of a Polk County Jail inmate. It also describes acts prohibited in detention and types of disciplinary action which may be taken if an inmate commits any of the prohibited acts. If an inmate does not follow these rules, administrative, disciplinary and/or legal action could be taken.
If an inmate cannot read or is blind, the Inmate Handbook Rules and Regulations shall be read to them and verbally explained. Bilingual deputies shall be utilized for this purpose if the inmate does not speak English.
The Central County Jail (formerly the Annex) was constructed in 1985 and 1988 and is designed to house 800 inmates. Current inmate populations include adult females, adult males, adult trusty inmates, pre-adjudicated youth and direct-filed youth. Pre-adjudicated youth and direct-filed youth are held in separate housing areas away from any adult inmate contact.
The Central County Jail offers various programs to eligible inmates. County-operated educational services are offered to both adults and youth in separate buildings. Additionally, life skills, faith-based, and substance abuse programs are also available for inmates to attend.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates at the County Jail must be sent directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the materials are new, untampered, and in compliance with the facility's regulations. The restriction of orders to publishers is a security measure to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials into the jail. By enforcing this rule, the facility maintains better control over the content entering the institution, thereby enhancing security. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and will not be delivered to the inmate.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office contracts with Smart Jail Mail, which involves kiosks in all housing units for inmates to use, to send and receive written communications with loved ones. This digital mail system further streamlines PCSO operations and ensures the safety and well-being of inmates and staff, for a nominal fee.
IPCSO provides a collect-calling system for inmate use through a contract with Securus Technologies. The system allows inmates to make collect calls only. No incoming calls can be received by an inmate. To establish an account with Securus, please contact them at 1-800-844-6591. Reduce the price of the calls from $6.00 to $1.85 with an InmateAid number
