Where Brandon Arrests Get Processed
People arrested in Brandon go to one of two Hillsborough County jail facilities. The Orient Road Jail at 1201 Orient Road, Tampa, FL 33619 is the primary booking center. Most new arrests go through Orient Road first. Staff process the intake, take fingerprints and a mugshot, and enter the charges into the county system.
The Falkenburg Road Jail at 2310 North Falkenburg Road, Tampa, FL 33619 is the larger facility. It holds about 3,300 beds. Inmates may get moved there from Orient Road depending on classification and bed space. Both jails share the same phone number: 813.247.8300.
The Falkenburg Road Jail allows onsite visitation via the Video Visitation Center. Inmates get a free two-hour visit on certain days. After the free time, video visits cost $0.25 per minute. Visiting hours run from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mail to inmates must be in postcard format. Money for commissary accounts can be deposited through approved vendors online or at jail lobby kiosks.

Brandon Arrest Records Under Florida Law
Florida's Sunshine Law makes Brandon arrest records public. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes says anyone can request government records. Arrest data falls under this law. Booking records, mugshots, charge info, and bond details are all public. You do not need a reason to ask.
Some exemptions exist. Juvenile arrest records have different rules. Active investigation files can be withheld temporarily. Sealed and expunged records are not available for public searches. Under Section 943.0585, a person can apply to have a Brandon arrest record expunged if they qualify. The FDLE process starts with a $75 certificate of eligibility. It takes about 12 weeks. Then you file a petition with the Hillsborough County court.
An arrest record just means someone was taken into custody. It is not a conviction. Keep that in mind when looking at Brandon arrest data.
