This page helps with inmate search in Volusia County, Florida. It shows where to start, what the county search is used for, and which offices handle court, jail, bond, and follow-up questions.

For most local searches, the main starting point is the Volusia County Division of Corrections Inmate Information Search. If you need official court information connected to a case, the Volusia County Clerk of Court handles those records.

Use the county search first when you are trying to find someone held by the Volusia County Division of Corrections.

  • Open the official Volusia County inmate search.
  • Read the disclaimer and select “Accept” to continue into the search.
  • Review the jail information returned by the county system.
  • If you also need court details, contact the Volusia County Clerk of Court for the official court record.

Important: the online county search is for general informational use and is not the official record for legal action.

What the county search covers

The Volusia County search is tied to records maintained within the jail. Volusia County states that only records maintained within the jail are considered the official records of the Volusia County Division of Corrections.

That matters when you need more than a custody lookup. Court information of relevance is handled by the Volusia County Clerk of Court, not by the jail search page.

Jail, bond, and release details after a match

Once you locate someone, the next step may be bond, release timing, or finding the correct facility. Volusia County lists two corrections locations in Daytona Beach and directs bond and First Appearance visitors to the Branch Jail.

  • The Branch Jail is at 1300 Red John Drive, Daytona Beach, FL 32124.
  • The Correctional Facility is at 1354 Indian Lake Road, Daytona Beach, FL 32124.
  • Bond information is available through the Branch Jail Booking Office, which is open 24/7.
  • First Appearance hearings take place at the Branch Jail.

Volusia County also states that, effective April 29, 2024, inmates are not released between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless a responsible party is on site to transport the inmate off property and checks in with Control before release.

Warning: the Corrections Division says it will not solicit bond money by text or phone, and requests for payment through Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, Bitcoin, or similar methods may be a scam.

Using the booking number for visitation

Visitation scheduling uses the inmate’s 6-digit booking number. If you do not know that number, Volusia County directs visitors to the inmate search page to find it.

Visits are by appointment only and are held at the Visitation Center at 1300A Red John Drive next to the Branch Jail. Visitors must check in 10 minutes before the appointment. Appointments must be made 24 hours in advance, and visitation runs Tuesday through Saturday.

If you need visit rules and scheduling details, review the county’s official visitation information.

If the person is not in county custody, the next place to check may be the state system. Volusia County also points users to the Florida Department of Corrections offender search.

The state tool covers inmate population, inmate releases, supervised population, absconder or fugitive information, and inmate escapes. You can use the Florida Department of Corrections offender search when your search needs to go beyond the county jail.

Corrections contacts for inmate search follow-up

Use these Volusia County corrections contacts when you need help identifying the correct facility, checking booking or bond information, or reporting urgent concerns tied to a person in custody.
