An Agent at TGK, Any Hour: How Faroy Posts Bonds at Miami-Dade's Jails 24/7

Why Proximity to TGK Matters

When someone is arrested in Miami-Dade County, the clock starts at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center — TGK — at 7000 NW 41st St, just west of Miami International Airport. Booking, first appearance and the bond amount all happen there first. The bondsman who can get paperwork to TGK fastest is the one who gets your family member out first.

Faroy Bail Bonds has posted at TGK since the facility opened. Our office at 1330 SW 22nd Street is about ten minutes away, and we are a family business: when you call (305) 642-1986 at 3 a.m., a licensed Faroy agent answers — not a call center — and starts the bond right then. We post at TGK around the clock, 365 days a year, and an agent can meet you at the jail any hour.

TGK — Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center

**Address:** 7000 NW 41st St, Miami, FL 33166 · **Information desk:** (786) 263-5550. TGK is Miami-Dade's main intake and booking facility. Almost every arrest in the county is booked here, and bond is set here at first appearance (usually within 24 hours of arrest).

Release from TGK typically runs 12–24 hours after the bond is posted, depending on shift changes and intake volume. A domestic-violence charge adds a wait: bond can't be posted until first appearance in front of a judge, usually the next morning. Our TGK bail bonds page walks through the whole process.

Metro West Detention Center

**Address:** 13850 NW 41st St, Miami, FL 33178 (Doral). Metro West is the county's largest jail and sits about ten minutes west of TGK on the same street. Many defendants are transferred here after booking or first appearance, and it holds most of Miami-Dade's longer-term pretrial population.

A transfer to Metro West does not slow us down — we post there directly. Release averages 8–16 hours after posting. See Metro West bail bonds.

PTDC — Pre-Trial Detention Center (Miami-Dade County Jail)

**Address:** 1321 NW 13th St, Miami, FL 33125, in the Civic Center next to the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building. PTDC holds defendants awaiting first appearance or trial, including many moved from TGK.

We post at PTDC any hour. Release averages 8–16 hours after the bond is posted. Details on our Miami-Dade County Jail page.

What Happens When You Call at Night

You call (305) 642-1986 and reach a licensed agent — Emilio or Gabriell Salgado, the father and son who own Faroy. We confirm where your family member is being held and the bond amount using the county's booking system, usually within minutes.

The premium in Florida is set by law at 10% of the bond, with a $100 minimum per charge — so a bond split across several small charges can cost more than 10% of the total, and we tell you the exact number before you pay. Never a hidden fee. We take the paperwork electronically, so a cosigner in Hialeah, Kendall or Hollywood can sign from their phone. Then we post. Nights, weekends and holidays included.

Have These Ready

The arrested person's full legal name and date of birth, the charge if you know it, and a cosigner's phone number and email. If you don't have the booking number, we'll find it. If you can't find your family member yet, a TGK booking usually takes around 4 hours to show in the county inmate search — call us and we will locate them.
