These annual inspections are led by the Florida Sheriff’s Association and Florida Association of Counties, utilizing certified inspectors to ensure that the facilities and staff meet or exceed the minimum performance standards to operate a constitutional jail in the state of Florida. They include interviews with inmates and staff and review of daily operations. The team of inspectors reviewed all areas of operations from staff training, admissions, release, programs, sanitation, housing, food service, health records and security, to how medications are stored and labeled. The inspections were completed in September.
