More Information

The original St. Lucie County in South Central Florida - only some 135 miles north of Miami -was originally settled around 1844. Presently, St. Lucie County has a population of nearly 300,000 inhabitants. In 1905 the Florida Legislature formed the St. Lucie County we know today. That included a sheriff’s office and jail.

At the time, with few inhabitants and very little crime, the sheriff with perhaps a deputy enforced the law. When necessary, just as in the Old West, the sheriff was known to have sworn in a posse to aid him in the performance of his duties. Of course, during the “Roaring Twenties,” the population not only grew but bootlegging and other ancillary crimes associated with these enterprises made it necessary to increase the size of the sheriff’s department.

The most notable event occurred in 1924 when Sheriff J. R. Merritt and his deputies ended the reign of terror waged by the notorious Ashley Gang. This gang not only robbed banks and ran bootleg liquor but didn’t hesitate to murder when necessary. In those early days, the jail was little more than a detention center with few amenities Prisoners might spend weeks, even months in those conditions pending the outcome of a judges decision. Over the years, The St. Lucie County Jail has improved both in amenities as well as appearance. And today’s conditions have vastly improved over those of a hundred plus years. When asked to fill out inmate forms, St Lucie County Jail received an overall rating of 4.2 stars out of 5.
