How to find an inmate
San Juan has no county jail, so detainees are held in facilities run by the Puerto Rico Department of Correction and Rehabilitation, headquartered in San Juan. Call DCR with the person's full name and date of birth, or check the DCR website, to find the institution. DCR also holds people sentenced to prison. People charged federally are usually held at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Guaynabo.
Visitation
Visits are held at the DCR institution where the person is housed, which is often in Bayamón rather than San Juan. Visitors generally must be on an approved list and present valid photo ID. Confirm the current schedule and requirements with DCR or the institution.
Bail and bond
Bail (fianza) is set by a judge of the Tribunal de Primera Instancia, San Juan Judicial Center, or the court handling the case. Bail may be paid in cash, posted through a licensed bondsman, or replaced by Pretrial Services supervision if the court allows it. Contact the court or the defense attorney to confirm the steps.
Mail and money
Address mail to the inmate's full name and inmate number at the DCR institution where they are held. Deposits must use DCR-approved methods. Confirm the current address, deposit options, and limits with DCR.
