Volusia County, Florida Inmate Search

For residents of Volusia County, Florida, an inmate search is the process of locating one or more individuals detained or housed in the county’s correctional facilities. Because Volusia has several correctional facilities, an inmate’s location may vary depending on the nature of the case and the authority involved.

County and state authorities, such as the Volusia County Division of Corrections, offer a range of public-facing tools for searching pre-trial or sentenced inmates in custody. This includes inmates held in the Volusia County Branch Jail, the Volusia County Correctional Facility, and certain state-run penitentiaries within the county, such as the Tomoka Correctional Institution. These facilities receive individuals who have been arrested and formally booked by county or municipal law enforcement.

While the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department serves as the primary law enforcement agency in the county, cities like Daytona Beach maintain an independent department, such as the Daytona Beach Police Department. These agencies keep separate jail rosters that reflect arrests and initial detention. Public search tools can help confirm arrest, booking number, bail, and release.

How to Find an Inmate in Volusia County Jail

Generally, anyone can look up specific Volusia County jail inmates on the county website’s Volusia County Division of Corrections page. The Division manages both the Volusia County Branch Jail and the Volusia County Correctional Facility. It maintains an online jail offender search tool that allows members of the public to search for pre-trial detainees and inmates awaiting sentence.

Booking into Volusia County Corrections may take up to 24 hours after arrest. If an arrestee has not been booked, they will not appear in online offender search results. In such cases, individuals must first check with the arresting agency before making inquiries at the county jail.
