This page helps with an inmate search in St. Johns County, Florida, including where to start, what to do if online results are unavailable, and which official office handles related questions.

The main local channel is the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Search. For case outcomes, court dates, or detailed criminal and civil case information, users are directed to the St. Johns County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office provides an inmate search page for St. Johns County inmates. The office also notes that the inmate and jail search is temporarily down, so the direct search may not always return results.

Start with the official jail search link: search for a St. Johns County inmate. If the search is unavailable or does not show the person you are looking for, use the Sheriff’s Office contacts for booking, bond, or records help.

Check names carefully. The Sheriff’s Office cautions that data-entry errors or incorrect information can sometimes affect a record entry.

Record accuracy and court case information

Inmate search results are arrest-related records. The people listed have been arrested, but that does not mean they have been found guilty in court.

If an inmate record appears incorrect, contact the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office Records Unit. For case dispositions, court dates, or detailed criminal and civil court case information, use the St. Johns County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller.

Bond information and bail bond safety

For bond information, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office directs users to call Booking. Be cautious with unexpected calls from someone claiming to be a bail bondsman, especially if they ask for payment through a mobile app.

Scammers may use online inmate information to contact family members. Verify any bail bond company before sending money.

Detention Center and inmate services

The Corrections Division provides care, custody, and control for inmates in St. Johns County. The Main Detention Unit houses male and female inmates waiting for pre-trial hearings, and people arrested in St. Johns County are processed through the main facility.

The Community Work Release Center houses male inmates sentenced to the county jail for 364 days or less. Inmates there may participate in work release or county work squad programs when they meet facility criteria.

For inmate property pickup, call before going to the jail to confirm that the required property release form is on file.

Visitation, calls, mail, and messaging

Visitors must be approved before visiting an inmate. Remote video visits and on-demand visits are available through SmartJailMail during listed daily time windows, and on-site video visitation is available Monday through Friday during listed daytime hours.

Phone services are provided through Smart Communications, and users can set up a SmartJailMail account to add funds. Non-legal inmate mail must be sent through the Smart Communications mailing address with the inmate name and inmate ID number.

Sheriff’s records requests

For records maintained by the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, public records requests may be submitted through the Public Records Unit Online Portal. The portal handles requests such as incident reports, address searches, body-worn camera footage, local records checks, and crash reports.

Records requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, and fees may apply. Local records checks from the Sheriff’s Office are limited to St. Johns County arrest records and are not complete criminal history checks.
