Not Your Average Jailhouse Rock
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Miami isn't like those gritty cop shows where there's one giant jail holding everyone. Nope, Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department (say that five times fast) operates a whole network of facilities. We're talking a multi-jail metropolis, each with its own vibe (allegedly).

Here's what we do know: Miami-Dade County has a massive jail system, one of the biggest in the country. We're talking thousands of inmates shuffling through their daily routines (hopefully including some educational programs, because who wants to stay uneducated behind bars?).
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
So, how many jails are there? Buckle up, because this is where it gets interesting...
- The History Whisperer: If you ask Wikipedia's dusty halls, they'll tell you there used to be a whopping 22 jails back in 1961! That's enough to make your head spin.
- The Modern Mystery: But hold on a sec! More recent info suggests there might be a more centralized system now. Think of it like a jail family, all under one roof (or maybe several roofs).
The truth? It's somewhere in between, and possibly classified information. Don't worry though, even if you can't count the exact number of buildings, you can rest assured Miami has the facilities to keep things running smoothly (or at least as smoothly as jail can be).
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
