Find a Volusia County Jail Record Before You Pay, Visit or Send Mail
For current Volusia County jail custody, start with the Division of Corrections inmate information search—not the Sheriff’s Office. Volusia County Corrections operates the county jail system and is a separate entity from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
Use the county search to confirm the correct booking, six-digit booking number, facility, charges and bond information, then use the Clerk of Court for the criminal case and the appropriate jail service for bond, visits, mail, calls or commissary.

Fast Answer: Start With the Volusia Corrections Inmate Search
The official inmate-information site is the best first stop for a current Volusia County jail search. Volusia County says the public information is updated approximately every 15 minutes, but it also warns that the online version is for general informational use and is not the official legal record.
After finding a possible match, save the six-digit booking number, confirm the booking date and facility, read every charge and bond line, then use the Clerk’s criminal case record for court activity and final disposition.

How to Use the Volusia County Jail Inmate Search
The Volusia inmate-information site is operated for the Division of Corrections. Before entering the search, the county displays a disclaimer explaining that online information is not the official jail record and that county records should be used when legal accuracy matters.
- Open the official inmate search. Read the county disclaimer and enter the public search rather than starting with a copied mugshot page.
- Search the legal name carefully. Start broad enough to account for spelling, suffix and alias differences, then compare each plausible result.
- Save the six-digit booking number. Volusia uses it for visitation, mail, money orders and jail follow-up.
- Confirm booking date and facility. Distinguish one arrest from another and determine whether the person is connected to the Branch Jail or Correctional Facility.
- Read every charge row. The county record can show statute, charge description, bond type, bond amount, arrest case number, court case number, disposition and charge-status fields.
- Move to the Clerk record. Use the court case number when available to verify formal court activity and future dates.
- Recheck before acting. Custody, housing, bond and release information can change after your first search.
What the Inmate Search Fields Mean
| Field | Useful for | Do not treat it as |
|---|---|---|
| Booking # | Matching the current custody record and using jail services. | A criminal court case number. |
| Inmate ID # | Distinguishing records inside the jail system. | Proof that a charge resulted in conviction. |
| Booking / release date | Understanding the custody episode shown online. | A guaranteed future release time. |
| Charge / statute | Identifying the allegation attached to a booking. | Final court disposition. |
| Bond type / amount | Understanding the bond field for a particular charge. | A promise that payment will cause immediate release. |
| Arrest case # | Connecting the booking to law-enforcement case information. | The same thing as the court case number. |
| Court case # | Moving to the Clerk’s criminal case search. | A substitute for reading the actual docket. |
| Disposition / charge status | Reading the status code displayed by the jail database. | A plain-English final judgment without court verification. |
Volusia County’s Two Main Jail Facilities
The Division of Corrections—not the Sheriff’s Office—operates the county jail system. Current county pages list the Branch Jail and the Correctional Facility as the two principal locations in Daytona Beach.
Volusia County Branch Jail
1300 Red John Drive Daytona Beach, FL 32124 Phone: 386-254-1555The county states that the Branch Jail houses pretrial inmates, state-sentenced inmates, and medium- and high-custody non-sentenced males. Bond posting and First Appearance hearings are handled at the Branch Jail.
Volusia County Correctional Facility
1354 Indian Lake Road Daytona Beach, FL 32124 Phone: 386-254-1565The county states that this facility houses county-sentenced inmates, low- and medium-custody non-sentenced males, and all female inmates.
What to Do if the Person Is Not Found
Processing Can Take Time
The public search updates frequently, but booking, medical screening, classification and data entry can still create a short delay after arrest.
Check Who Made the Arrest
Volusia County has municipal police departments as well as the Sheriff. The arresting agency and the jail operator are not necessarily the same organization.
Try the Correct Custody Level
If county custody has ended after sentencing or transfer, use Florida DOC for state custody or BOP for federal prison custody.
Confirm the Court Record
A person may have been released even though the criminal case remains open. Use the Clerk to follow the case after jail release.
- Recheck spelling, suffixes and the county search after a short interval.
- Confirm the arrest occurred in Volusia County, Florida.
- Call Booking/Bonding/Charges/Arrest at 386-254-1540 for a recent or unclear booking.
- Search the Volusia Clerk criminal case system using the court case number when available.
- Use Florida DOC Offender Information Search if state-prison transfer is possible.
- Use the Federal BOP locator if the matter is federal.
Bond and First Appearance in Volusia County
Bond is handled through the Branch Jail. The Booking Office is open 24/7, and the county says anyone may post bond in cash or through a bondsman. Call 386-254-1555 to verify current bond information before paying.
Within One Day of Admission
The county says an arrested person will appear before a judge within one day of jail admission. The judge can keep, raise or lower bond, release the person on recognizance, or place the person on pretrial supervision/release.
Current published First Appearance schedule: 1:30 PM Monday–Friday and 8:30 AM weekends and holidays at the Branch Jail courtroom.
Corrections Will Not Solicit a Bond
Volusia Corrections warns that jail staff will not contact families to solicit bond payments. Requests to send bond money by Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, Bitcoin or similar transfer methods are a strong scam warning.

Release Timing and the 10 PM–6 AM Rule
After someone becomes eligible for release, Volusia Corrections says paperwork processing can take approximately 2 to 4 hours once the release process starts, depending on the circumstances.
Effective April 29, 2024, the county says inmates generally are not released between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM. The exception is when a responsible party is physically on site to transport the person off Corrections property; that person must check in with Control before release.
Use the Volusia County Clerk for the Criminal Case
The jail search answers the custody question; the Clerk’s criminal record answers the court-case question. Volusia County says future court dates typically take one to two days after First Appearance to be processed by the Clerk.
Search Criminal Case Records
The Clerk provides online criminal case inquiry by name or case number. Public online information is useful for research, but the Clerk warns that the website itself is not the official court record for legal action.
Record and Certification Fees
The Clerk currently lists criminal-file copies at $1 per page and certification at an additional $2 per document. A Clerk-performed record search is listed at $2 per year, per name searched.
Video Visitation: Booking Number Required
Volusia County does not provide ordinary contact visitation. Visits are conducted through the Video Visitation Center at 1300A Red John Drive, next to the Branch Jail, and are scheduled through IC Solutions.
Get the 6-Digit Booking Number
The county requires the inmate’s six-digit booking number to schedule a visit. Find it through the inmate-information search first.
Book at Least 24 Hours Ahead
Appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance, by 9 PM before the requested visit day, and may be scheduled up to two weeks ahead.
Arrive 10 Minutes Early
Visitors must check in 10 minutes before the session. Entry is not allowed after the scheduled visitation period has begun.

Phone support: 888-506-8407

How Inmate Property Release Works
Property collected at booking is stored by Corrections, while large items such as backpacks, bags and purses may remain with the arresting law-enforcement agency.
For property held by Corrections, the inmate must request a Property Release Form on the jail tablet. The form must be completed, approved and the property marked for release before pickup.
- Call 386-254-1555 before travelling to confirm the form has been approved.
- Approved property can be picked up 24/7 with proper identification.
- The county holds approved property for up to five days; if it is not collected, it returns to storage.
- If the inmate is released before or during the approval process, the property is released with the inmate and the request becomes void.
- Clothing is not released because it is reissued at release.
Medical, Mental-Health and Accessibility Concerns
Call the Correct Facility
- Branch Jail Health Services: 386-254-1547
- Correctional Facility Health Services: 386-254-1583
The county states that every inmate is screened after booking and that people remaining in custody receive physical and psychological evaluations within 14 days.
Program Services
For auxiliary aids or effective-communication assistance under Title II of the ADA, the county lists Program Services at 386-254-1534, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM Monday–Friday. Requests should be made as soon as possible and no later than two business days before the scheduled event when practicable.
Florida VINE Custody Notifications
Florida’s statewide VINE service includes people in Florida county jails as well as state correctional systems. The service provides custody information and lets eligible users register for automated status-change notifications.
Florida DOC lists VINE inmate information at 1-877-846-3435, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Victim-information registration with Florida DOC is a separate process from simply registering directly with VINE.
If the Person Moved to State or Federal Custody
Florida DOC Offender Search
Use Florida DOC after a person has been sentenced to state prison or placed under state supervision. FDC explicitly states that its offender database does not contain people sentenced only to county jail or county probation.
Federal BOP Locator
Use BOP for federal prison custody from 1982 to the present. BOP warns that a “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody” result does not prove the person is free from every other criminal-justice custody or supervision system.

Recheck the name and search after a short interval, call booking at 386-254-1540 for a recent arrest, verify the correct county and arresting agency, then use Florida DOC or BOP only when transfer or federal custody is plausible.
