The history of the jail dates back to 1912 when voters approved the creation of the sheriff’s department in Pinellas County. The original building housed inmates who were awaiting a hearing or who had already been sentenced for charges related to “crimes” such as moonshining, bootlegging, or gambling. The building was not very secure, which meant that escapes from the jail were a common occurrence. Visitors were apparently not searched, or not searched well, since tools to aid in escapes were smuggled into the jail. A saw was a coveted tool for the inmates who used it to cut their way through the bars and make their getaway.
There was no centralized jail system through the middle of the 20th century. There were several districts within Pinellas County and a Justice of the Peace was in charge of legal matters in each district. Today, the Pinellas County Sherriff’s Office is responsible for five primary bureaus, including Detention and Corrections and the Judicial Operations bureaus. The Pinellas County Jail in Florida sits on 54 acres of land that is located in central Pinellas County. The jail is the only jail in the county and serves all the law enforcement agencies in the county.
