Paul Rein Detention Facility Overview

Paul Rein Detention Facility is run by the Broward Sheriff's Office Department of Detention and sits at 2421 NW 16 Street in Pompano Beach. The sheriff calls it the newest jail, opened in February 2004. The $36.6 million complex is modeled after the Joseph V. Conte Facility and uses a direct-supervision design, where staff work closely with inmates and movement is kept low. It spans 257,790 square feet and was designed for 1,020 inmates in two four-story towers, holding men and women in separate areas.

The facility is named for Deputy Paul Rein, who was killed during a prisoner transport on November 7, 2007. He worked in Central Intake and handled prisoner transport. Audit material places male youthful-detainee housing at Paul Rein, with youthful detainees separated from adults by sight, sound, and physical contact.

The sheriff's facility page rates Paul Rein for 1,020 inmates. The Florida Department of Corrections county detention report for June 2025 put the Paul Rein average daily population at 612, with about 88 percent pre-trial.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Paul Rein Detention Facility

Paul Rein is a county jail, so the right tool is the Broward Sheriff's Office arrest search. It covers everyone booked into the county system and shows the current location, so a person held here appears with the facility noted in the location field.

1. Open the Broward arrest search.
2. Enter at least two letters of the last name, the first name, or both.
3. Confirm the location field shows Paul Rein.
4. Open the arrest number for the booking photo, charges, bond, and status.

Housing here is set by classification, including program placement, so a person booked at Central Intake may be moved to Paul Rein afterward. Confirm the location before mailing, visiting, or sending money.

Visiting Someone at Paul Rein Detention Facility

Visits are video-based through Securus rather than in-person contact visits. The facility's direct-supervision design uses a non-breakable window between the housing unit and the visitation area, with built-in phone communication, so higher-security inmates do not need to leave their unit. Visitors register once with Securus, account approval can take up to 48 hours, and visits are scheduled one to seven days ahead, with two one-hour visits per week.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Paul Rein Detention Facility

Routine incoming mail is postcard-only under the sheriff's June 21, 2021 notice, addressed with the inmate's full name and arrest number. Phone service runs through Securus, with collect or prepaid billing and no incoming calls. Kiosk deposits are available at the facility, and Western Union and Access Corrections are also options, with deposits posting in about 30 minutes to two hours.

Booking and Intake at Paul Rein Detention Facility

People are not booked directly into Paul Rein off the street. Almost every Broward arrest first runs through Central Intake at the Main Jail, where the booking photo, fingerprints, and screening happen and an arrest number is created. Classification then decides housing. A person assigned medium or maximum custody, or placed in one of the facility's programs, may be moved to Paul Rein after that assessment.

Paul Rein runs the sheriff's In-Custody Behavioral Services programs, including a Substance Abuse Program and a Life Skills Program, plus the Chaplain's Office Lifestyles Spiritual Unit. The facility also has an on-site OB-GYN clinic for pregnant inmates and offers nearly two dozen specialty diets, including Kosher, vegetarian, high-calorie, and low-calorie options.

Programs and Specialized Care at Paul Rein

Paul Rein carries one of the deepest program slates in the county system. The sheriff's In-Custody Behavioral Services Division runs both a Substance Abuse Program and a Life Skills Program here, and the Chaplain's Office operates a Lifestyles Spiritual Unit. The facility's design supports that work by keeping movement low, so program time is more consistent than in a jail built around constant escorts.

The facility also handles specialized health needs. It has an on-site OB-GYN clinic for pregnant inmates and offers nearly two dozen specialty diets, including Kosher, vegetarian, high-calorie, and low-calorie meals. Audit material reports 24-hour medical coverage across the system, and Paul Rein's medium and maximum custody mix means it can hold higher-security inmates while still delivering services inside the housing units.

Facility Design and Youthful Detainees

Paul Rein is built as two four-story towers across 257,790 square feet, designed for 1,020 inmates and opened in February 2004. Its direct-supervision visitation uses a non-breakable window between the housing unit and the visitation area, with built-in phone communication, so higher-security inmates can visit without leaving their unit. The facility is named for Deputy Paul Rein, who worked in Central Intake and was killed during a prisoner transport in November 2007.

Audit material places male youthful-detainee housing at Paul Rein, with youthful detainees kept separate from adults by sight, sound, and physical contact. That separation matters for families, because a young person charged as an adult may be held here rather than in general adult housing. The arrest search location field confirms the current facility, since classification can move a person after booking.

About Paul Rein Detention Facility

Paul Rein reflects the most modern jail design in the county, built around direct supervision, two towers, and an emphasis on programs and specialized care. Its program slate and OB-GYN clinic set it apart from the older facilities. Once a person is sentenced to state prison, custody transfers from the county to the Florida Department of Corrections, and the lookup moves with them.
