Volusia County Jail Inmate Search & Arrest Records (FL)

If you are looking for someone arrested in Daytona Beach, DeLand, Deltona, Ormond Beach, or New Smyrna Beach, you are dealing with the Volusia County Division of Corrections.

⚠️ Crucial Distinction: In most Florida counties, you search the Sheriff’s website. Not here.

The Volusia Sheriff’s Office (VCSO) makes the arrests, but the Division of Corrections runs the jails. If you are clicking around the Sheriff’s site looking for a mugshot, you are in the wrong place.

Volusia County operates two separate facilities on the same road (US-92). Knowing exactly which building your loved one is in—and their Booking Number—is the key to getting them out.

This guide covers everything from the “10 PM Release Rule” to the strict video visitation dress code.

Official Volusia County Inmate Search (Step-by-Step)

Do not waste money on third-party “background check” sites. The county maintains a live, public database that updates instantly.

How to Locate an Inmate:

Access the Database: Go to the official Volusia County Corrections Inmate Search.
Accept the Disclaimer: You must click the “Accept” button to enter the portal. If you don’t, the search bar won’t load.
Enter Search Details: Type the Last Name and First Initial.
- Expert Tip: The system is finicky. If “Henderson” returns no results, try typing “Hend” to see a list of partial matches.
Save the “Booking Number”:
- Once you find them, write down the 6-digit Booking Number (e.g., 250123). You cannot visit, send money, or mail a letter without this number.

“I Can’t Find Their Name!”

If the arrest happened in Deltona or Edgewater within the last 2–4 hours, they are likely still in a transport van.

The “Grey Area”: All arrestees—regardless of where they were picked up—are driven to the Branch Jail in Daytona Beach. This drive can take 45 minutes, and booking takes another 3 hours.
Who to Call: You can verify a recent arrest by calling the Booking Desk 24/7 at (386) 254-1555.

Volusia County Arrest Records & Mugshots: Viewing Details

Once you find their profile, click on their name to view the full Arrest Affidavit.

1. The Mugshot:

Volusia County displays booking photos publicly. Note: If the inmate is a law enforcement officer or falls under specific privacy exemptions, the photo will be replaced with a silhouette.

2. The Charge List:

This section tells you the specific statute numbers (e.g., DUI with Property Damage, Domestic Battery).

3. “No Bond” Status:

If you see $0.00 or “No Bond”, do not panic. This is standard for:

Domestic Violence: They must see a judge first.
Felonies: Pending First Appearance.
Violation of Probation (VOP): Usually requires a court date to set bond.

Volusia County Jail Locations: Branch Jail vs. Correctional Facility

This is where families get confused. The “Jail” is actually two buildings located next to each other on US-92 (International Speedway Blvd). You must check the “Current Location” on their profile.

Facility Name	Code	Who is Here?
Volusia County Branch Jail	VCBJ	The “Main Jail.” This is where Booking/Intake happens. It houses high-risk inmates, pre-trial felons, and anyone who was just arrested.
Volusia Correctional Facility	VCCF	The “Work Camp.” Houses county-sentenced inmates (serving <1 year) and most female inmates. Lower security.

The Address Trap:

Both facilities are technically on “Red John Drive” or “Indian Lake Road,” which form a loop off US-92. They share the same entrance. Follow the signs carefully once you turn off the highway.

Posting Bail, Bond Hearings & The “10 PM Release Rule”

How to Pay Bail:

All releases are processed at the Branch Jail (VCBJ) lobby, regardless of where the inmate is sleeping.

Cash Bond: Pay the full amount at the lobby window. Accepted: Cash, Cashier’s Check, or Money Order (Payable to: Clerk of the Circuit Court). No Personal Checks.
Bail Bondsman: There are dozens of bondsmen located along US-92 in Daytona Beach. They charge a non-refundable 10% fee.

First Appearance Court:

When: Daily at 8:30 AM (including weekends and holidays).
Where: The courtroom is inside the Branch Jail. You can watch the proceedings, but you cannot speak to the inmate.

⚠️ The 10:00 PM Release Rule (Critical):

Volusia County has a strict policy: Inmates are generally NOT released between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

Why? The jail is located on a dark highway with no sidewalks. It is a safety issue.
The Exception: If you are physically present in the lobby to pick them up, they might process the release. Call ahead to confirm.

Sending Money & Mail: The “Postcard Only” Policy

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I drop off clothes for court?

A: Usually, yes, but only for a jury trial. For regular hearings, inmates wear jail uniforms. Call the Booking Desk to arrange a drop-off time for trial clothing.

Q: My loved one has a “Cash Purge” bond. What does that mean?

A: This is usually for failing to pay Child Support. Unlike a regular bond, you cannot use a bondsman. You must pay the full cash amount to the Clerk of Court to resolve the “purge.”

Q: Are there “Work Release” options?

A: Yes. The Weekend Work Program is run out of the Correctional Facility (VCCF). Inmates must be court-ordered into this program and pay a fee to participate.
