The Baker County FL Detention Center (ICE) is a medium-security detention center located at 1 Sheriff Office Dr MacClenny, FL which is operated locally by the Baker County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Baker County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the MacClenny Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

In 2008, the Baker County Sheriff’s Office was given the opportunity to build a new facility with the capability of housing federal inmates for the U.S. government. Today, our jail can house over 500 inmates, both county and federal. Inmates are given access to legal resources, education programs, phones, and a fully staffed medical ward.

The Corrections division is split into two factions—county and federal—to better institute various regulations each faction maintains. Lieutenant Messer oversees the federal portion of the facility, and Lieutenant Rhoden oversees the county portion.
