How to find an inmate
Arecibo has no county jail. People arrested there by the Puerto Rico Police Bureau are held in Puerto Rico Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (DCR) institutions. Call DCR headquarters in Hato Rey, San Juan, at (787) 273-6464 with the person's full name and date of birth, or check https://dcr.pr.gov, to learn where they are held. Sentenced state prisoners are also in DCR custody, and federal detainees are held by federal authorities.
Visitation
Visits are handled by the DCR institution holding the person, not by the Municipio of Arecibo. Visitors are generally required to be on an approved visitor list and to show valid photo ID. Confirm visiting schedules and registration requirements with DCR or the institution.
Bail and bond
For arrests in Arecibo, bail (fianza) is set by a judge of the Tribunal de Primera Instancia, Arecibo Judicial Region, and Pretrial Services may evaluate the defendant. Ask the court clerk or the defendant's attorney for the amount and accepted payment methods. Court contacts are at https://poderjudicial.pr.
Mail and money
Send mail and funds to the specific DCR institution using the inmate's full name and identification number. DCR sets the rules for correspondence, allowed items, and commissary deposits. Confirm current procedures with DCR at (787) 273-6464 before sending.
