The main control room at the Lower Keys Detention Center monitors cameras throughout the facility, operates doors and tracks inmates’ and officers’ movements. It is a demanding job requiring the ability to multi-task. The overall mission of the Bureau of Corrections is to provide for custody, control, care and treatment of incarcerated inmates. The bureau also offers a variety of programs to inmates who wish to make a positive change in their lives, including educational, work-related and rehabilitative programs aimed Chief Tommy Taylor at changing behaviors so when an inmate is released, he or she has a chance at becoming a productive, contributing member of society. The Bureau of Corrections has three jail facilities, the Main Detention Center, housing up to 596 inmates; the Marathon Detention Center, housing up to 52 inmates, and the Plantation Key Detention Center, housing up to 47 inmates. The total daily average inmate population in Captain Tim Age 2011 was 576 inmates. The Corrections Bureau provides processing and detention services for all law enforcement agencies in Monroe County. In 2011, 6,456 arrestees were booked through the three jail facilities. Processing an inmate involves intake, medical screening, fingerprinting, photographing and classification of the individual. Technology plays a key role, particularly through videoimaging and electronic or inkless fingerprinting. The automated fingerprint identification system, called “Live Scan,” offers real-time positive identification of all those booked into the facility. It is not a free ride, however; all arrestees are assessed an initial processing fee of $20.
