Volusia County Inmate Lookup and Jail Roster

Volusia County Jail Roster and the Division of Corrections

Volusia County correctional custody is handled by the Volusia County Division of Corrections. The county is clear on one point: this division is separate from the Volusia Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff handles law enforcement, arrests, civil process, criminal registration, and public-records requests. Corrections manages the two county jail facilities, runs the inmate inquiry portal, and oversees booking, classification, visitation, and inmate services. The Corrections Director is Joseph DeMore. Knowing this distinction matters when you need to call about bond information, a charge question, or a case status update, because the right phone number depends on which office has what you need.

The public inmate search tool lives at volusiamug.vcgov.org. It is the only official Volusia County source for current jail custody status. The portal covers both county facilities. A Recent button on the search page shows the most recent bookings without entering a name. An "Include Archive Records in Search" checkbox lets you pull older bookings that have been moved to archive status, which is useful for confirming someone was in custody on a past date or checking prior booking history.

The roster does not include people held by the Florida Department of Corrections on a state sentence, federal inmates held in Bureau of Prisons facilities, or people detained by immigration authorities. Those searches use different tools. See released inmates for state and federal locator links.

The Volusia County inmate inquiry portal shown below is the starting point for any jail roster search.

The search form accepts a last name, first name, or booking number, and a checkbox adds archive records to the results.

How to Search the Volusia County Inmate Roster

The inmate inquiry portal is simple to use. You do not need an account or login. The steps below walk through a typical name search. If you already have a booking number, you can skip to step three and enter it directly in the Booking # field for a faster, exact-match result.

1. Go to volusiamug.vcgov.org. The search form loads on the main page with fields for Last Name, First Name, and Booking #.
2. Type the person's last name in the Last Name field. Adding a first name narrows results if the last name is common. Leave both blank and click Recent to see the most recent bookings without entering a name.
3. If you have the six-digit booking number, enter it in the Booking # field. This returns an exact match and is the fastest search method.
4. Check the "Include Archive Records in Search" box if you are looking for someone booked more than a few weeks ago or want to see prior booking history. Leave it unchecked for current-custody results only.
5. Click Search. A results list appears with matching names and basic booking data. Click a name to open the full inmate profile.
6. On the profile page, review mugshot, booking date, charges, bond amounts, and booking history. If the Release Date field is blank, the person is still in custody.

Note: If a search returns no results and you believe the person should be in custody, try adding the archive checkbox or call the Branch Jail Booking Office at (386) 254-1555, which is staffed 24 hours a day.

Volusia County Inmate Inquiry Search Fields

The portal keeps the form short. None of the text fields are strictly required as long as you fill in at least one. A booking number gives the most precise result. The table below lists every field on the Volusia inmate inquiry form.

What a Volusia County Inmate Profile Shows

Each inmate profile page pulls from the live booking record. The profile inspected in May 2026 showed a public mugshot image, personal identifiers, charge rows with statute details and bond figures, and a section for booking history. Some sections appear on every profile but may have no entries for a given person, such as Alias Information and Scars, Marks, and Tattoos. The profile does not show pod, cell, floor, housing assignment, court date, or judicial officer. Users who need a court date should check the Clerk's case inquiry portals or call jail case management at (386) 254-1548.

A sample inmate profile from the Volusia inmate inquiry is shown below, illustrating how booking data and charge information are displayed.

The charge table on the profile includes statute numbers, bond type, bond amount, and both arrest and court case numbers for each charge row.

Note: Housing location, pod assignment, and scheduled court date are not shown in the public inmate profile. Call case management at (386) 254-1548 for court date questions.

Volusia County Jail Facilities and Capacity

Volusia County operates two jail facilities, both off U.S. 92 roughly four miles west of I-95 in Daytona Beach. They are next to each other but serve different inmate populations. If you need to post bond or attend a First Appearance hearing, you go to the Branch Jail. Bond posting does not happen at the Correctional Facility. Both facilities are managed by the Volusia County Division of Corrections, and both feed into the same online inmate inquiry portal.

The Branch Jail holds pretrial detainees, state-sentenced males, and medium-to-high-custody non-sentenced males. Its design capacity is 899. The Correctional Facility holds county-sentenced inmates, low-to-medium-custody non-sentenced males, and all female inmates. Its design capacity is 595. The combined design capacity of the two facilities is 1,494. In 2024, the average daily population across both facilities was 1,345, which is about 90 percent of combined design capacity. Contact information for both facilities is below.

From Daytona Beach, take U.S. 92 west to Red John Drive or Indian Lake Road. From DeLand or West Volusia, take U.S. 92 east about 4.9 miles to the same turnoffs. Both facilities are close to each other on this stretch of U.S. 92.

The Volusia jail and bond information page on the county website is shown below and covers bond types, the booking office, and release procedures.

That page also lists the important contacts table, which is reproduced in the contacts section below.

Booking and Bond in Volusia County

After an arrest in Volusia County, the person is brought to the Branch Jail at 1300 Red John Drive for booking. Intake includes identity verification, charge entry, property storage, and a basic health screening. The inmate receives hygiene items and is assigned to a housing unit. Personal property goes to ID/Receiving and is stored until release. The jail is non-smoking; tobacco products cannot be purchased or possessed. All inmates are subject to search under Florida Model Jail Standards.

First Appearance hearings are held at the Branch Jail, not at the DeLand courthouse. This is the first court event after arrest, and bond is typically set at this hearing. Anyone may post bond at the Branch Jail, in cash or through a licensed bondsman. The Booking Office at (386) 254-1555 is open 24 hours a day and can answer questions about charges, bond amounts, and the booking process. For questions specifically about booking, bonding, and charges, the direct line is (386) 254-1540.

A newly booked inmate may show up in the online roster before visitation is possible. The initial 72 hours of incarceration restrict visitation, and any visit during that window must be approved by the Operations Supervisor. This is because the first three days involve classification, housing assignments, court appearances, and medical evaluations. The profile will show the person online, but a visit will not be available right away.

Effective April 29, 2024, inmates are not released between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless a responsible party is physically on site to transport the person off county jail property and checks in with facility Control. If a release is expected outside that window, someone needs to be present at the Branch Jail.

Bond Scam Warning for Volusia County Inmates

The Volusia County Division of Corrections warns that fraudulent callers and texters have claimed to be bondsmen or jail staff and asked for money to bond out a loved one. This is a scam. No one from the Volusia County Division of Corrections will ever call or text to solicit a bond payment on behalf of an inmate. Bond is posted directly at the Branch Jail Booking Office, in person, in cash or through a licensed bondsman.

If someone contacts you and asks for payment via Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, Bitcoin, or any other money-transfer or digital payment method to secure an inmate's release, it is very likely a fraud attempt. Do not send money. Call the Branch Jail Booking Office directly at (386) 254-1555 to verify the person's custody status and actual bond amount before taking any action.

Volusia County Corrections Contact Numbers

Different questions go to different desks within the Division of Corrections. The table below lists the direct lines by topic so you reach the right staff on the first call. The Booking Office handles general inmate status and bond questions around the clock.

For questions about a court case number or a scheduled court date, the Clerk's case inquiry portals or jail case management at (386) 254-1548 are the right contacts. The Division of Corrections also states zero tolerance for sexual abuse and harassment of inmates under PREA, and maintains a dedicated reporting line at (386) 254-1541. Inmates who need the Public Defender can call from housing areas on an open line or submit a written request that the Public Defender's Office picks up daily.

Visitation Hours and Rules at Volusia County Jail

All visitation is non-contact. Visits take place at the Visitation Center at 1300A Red John Drive, next to the Branch Jail. On-site visits require an appointment. To schedule, you need the inmate's six-digit booking number. Appointments are made through IC Solutions at icsolutions.com or by calling 888-646-9437. Automated scheduling is available 24 hours a day. Appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance and by 9 p.m. the evening before the requested visit. You can schedule up to two weeks ahead.

The Volusia jail visitation page on the county site shows the full schedule and rules, as shown below.

The visitation schedule runs Tuesday through Saturday. Sunday and Monday have no regular sessions. The table below shows the available time slots each visit day.

Check in at least 10 minutes before your appointment. Late arrivals may not enter after a session has started. Visitors 18 and over must show a government-issued photo ID. Student IDs are not accepted. Juvenile visitors need a state ID, birth certificate, custody papers, or other legal identity document and must be accompanied by an adult. Up to two adults and two small children may visit at one time, and all must arrive together.

Electronic devices are prohibited inside the visitation building. That includes cell phones, tablets, cameras, and recording devices. A dress code bans short-shorts, miniskirts, exposed cleavage, strapless tops, spandex, see-through garments, muscle shirts, and mesh shirts. Inmates in disciplinary confinement are not permitted visitation. During the first 72 hours of a new booking, visits must be approved by the Operations Supervisor.

Attorneys can set up a legal video visitor account through IC Solutions. During account setup, select the facility named "Florida-Volusia County" and associate with the client. Legal mail is also accepted and must come directly from an attorney, court, or government entity.

Note: IC Solutions handles both appointment scheduling and attorney video visits, but residents scheduling a personal visit and attorneys setting up legal video access each follow a different account flow on the IC Solutions platform.

Mail and Money for Volusia County Inmates

Mail and money for inmates go through specific rules. Cash and personal checks are not accepted for inmate accounts sent by mail. Accepted payment types for mailed funds are money orders, certified checks, and government checks. Include the inmate's booking number and booked name on any mailed payment so it is applied to the right account.

Funds can also be deposited through TouchPay. The Volusia County Division of Corrections facility number for TouchPay is 232124. Several deposit channels are available. The Branch Jail lobby has a kiosk that accepts cash and credit or debit cards at 1300 Red John Drive. Online deposits go through touchpayonline.com using MasterCard or Visa. Phone deposits are accepted at 1-866-232-1899. Walk-in retail deposits can be set up online or through TouchPay customer service at 866-204-1603 and then paid at a local retail partner.

For mail, address the envelope to the inmate using the name under which the person was booked, include the booking number, and include a return address. Hand-delivered mail is refused. No more than six photos may be included, and no photo may exceed 4 by 6 inches. Mail that is nude, sexually explicit, vulgar, obscene, defaced, altered, or marked with biohazard symbols will be rejected or referred to law enforcement. Contraband includes weapons, prescription or illegal drugs, over-the-counter medication, and tobacco.

Drop boxes for fund deposits are located in the facility and visitation lobbies. These accept money orders and certified checks addressed to specific inmates. For additional commissary needs beyond what can be funded this way, inmates can purchase items through commissary after funds are on account.
