The Florida Keys are their own kind of case. You're one long highway from Miami, bondsman coverage down here is thin, and Monroe County Sheriff's Office splits its booking across three sub-stations spread over 100 miles of US-1. Faroy Bail Bonds handles Keys cases every week — coordinated from our Miami office with local runners in Key West, Marathon, and the Upper Keys.

Typical release timeline
Release from the Stock Island main facility usually runs 4–8 hours after the bond is posted — one of the fastest windows we see anywhere in Florida. Marathon and Plantation Key sub-stations often move even faster because their populations are smaller.
Why Monroe County families call Faroy
Distance is the real challenge in the Keys — a Key Largo case is a two-hour drive from Key West. We work with local Keys agents and coordinate remotely, so a bond in Marathon does not require someone to drive all the way to Stock Island. Call us with the sub-station and we'll route the paperwork to the right facility.
Monroe County: Frequently Asked Questions
My friend was arrested in Key Largo — do I have to drive to Key West?
No. Key Largo and Tavernier arrests are typically booked at the Plantation Key Sub-Station on High Point Road. We can post the bond there directly through a local runner — you don't need to drive down to Key West.
How does first appearance work for Keys arrests?
First appearance is held by video from the detention center where the defendant is held, connecting to a magistrate at the Monroe County Courthouse on Whitehead Street in Key West. It happens within 24 hours of arrest — including weekends and holidays.
Is release from Stock Island really faster than the mainland?
Usually yes. Stock Island has a smaller population and lower intake volume than TGK or Broward Main, so once we post, out-processing typically runs 4–8 hours. Marathon and Plantation Key are often quicker than that.
