Broward CountyJail & Prison Communication Directory

Broward County is Florida's second most populous county and operates a significant detention and corrections system through the Broward Sheriff's Office. The main detention facility is the Broward County Jail located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, supplemented by the Joseph V. Conte Facility in Pompano Beach and the North Broward Bureau. Broward also contains Florida Department of Corrections state facilities and is near federal institutions in the South Florida region. The communication setup for each facility type is handled through separate provider contracts.

The Broward Sheriff's Office contracts with Securus Technologies for phone and video services at county detention facilities. Families trying to reach someone at the Broward County Jail or the Conte Facility will use Securus for both phone accounts and video visitation scheduling. State facilities within Broward operated by the Florida Department of Corrections — such as South Florida Reception Center — use JPay as the primary platform for messaging, money transfer, and photo sharing. Federal facilities in the region follow Bureau of Prisons guidelines and require CorrLinks accounts for electronic messaging, which is a completely separate system from either county or state providers.

For families in Broward County, this directory provides a straightforward guide to the communication options available at each type of facility. Whether you need to add funds to a Securus account for a county jail, set up JPay for a state prison, or understand how to contact someone at a federal institution in the region, this guide organizes the relevant information so you can find answers quickly and move forward without unnecessary frustration.
