Searching for Alafaya Released Inmates
The Orange County inmate search is easy to use. Go to the current inmate database page. You see a search form right away. Type in the last name of the person you want to find. You can add the first name if you know it. That helps narrow the results. If you only have a last name, the search returns everyone with that surname who is in jail or was recently released from Alafaya or other parts of Orange County.
Search results show a list of names with booking numbers. Click on a name to see full details. A pop-up window opens with the inmate's photo, age, race, gender, booking date, bond amount, last known location before arrest, current cell, case status, arresting agency, police case number, charges, court case number, and court location. This gives you a complete picture of what happened to the Alafaya inmate.
If the person is not in the current inmate list, check the daily booking list. That report shows everyone booked in the past 24 hours. It includes people who posted bond and left the same day. You can also look at the inmate population statistics page for general data on who is in the jail. These reports update daily. They give you a snapshot of jail activity across Orange County including Alafaya.
For people who went to state prison instead of county jail, you need a different search. The Florida Department of Corrections runs a statewide database at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com. This system tracks felony offenders sent to state custody. It does not include county jail inmates from Alafaya. Use the state search only if you know the person was sentenced to state prison.
Understanding Release Records for Alafaya
When an Alafaya inmate is released, the county updates the record. You see a release date and sometimes a release reason. Common reasons include bond posted, time served, case dismissed, or released on recognizance. Bond posted means they paid money to get out while awaiting trial. Time served means their sentence matched the days they already spent in jail. Case dismissed means charges were dropped. Released on recognizance means they promised to return to court without paying bond.
Release records do not always say why someone left. Some just show the release date. If you need more details, call Orange County Corrections at (407) 836-3400. Staff can look up the inmate and tell you the release type. You can also check court records to see what happened after the arrest. The Orange County Clerk of Court has case files online. Search by the person's name or the case number from the inmate record. Court files show plea deals, trial results, and final outcomes for Alafaya cases.
Public records law in Florida makes most inmate info available to anyone. Chapter 119, Florida Statutes says government agencies must provide records unless the law exempts them. Inmate names, charges, and release dates are not exempt. You can look them up for free. Medical records, juvenile records, and victim statements are protected. But regular inmate data for Alafaya adults is public.
If an inmate was transferred to state prison, the county record stops when they leave. The state takes over. Check the Florida Department of Corrections database to see where they went and when they got out. That system updates nightly for release dates and locations. It covers all state prisons in Florida. Use it to track Alafaya residents who were sentenced to state custody.
State Inmate Release Database
Florida runs a central database for all state prison inmates. This includes people from Alafaya who were convicted of felonies and sent to state custody. The portal is at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com/OffenderSearch/InmateInfoMenu.aspx. It has several search options. You can look up inmate population, release information, escapes, supervised offenders, and absconders. All these databases are in one place.
The Inmate Release Information Search updates every night. It shows people who have been released and those scheduled for release soon. You search by name or DC number. The DC number is a six-character ID the state assigns to each offender. If you have it, you get an exact match. If not, use the person's name. The system searches all names that start with the letters you type. This helps when you are not sure of the spelling for an Alafaya inmate.
Results include current status, release date, supervision details, and special conditions. You see if they are on parole or probation. You see the original charges and sentence. Some records have photos. The database also tracks people who skipped supervision. If an Alafaya inmate violated parole, they might be listed as an absconder. You can search that database too.
For questions about state releases, contact the Bureau of Admission and Release at (850) 488-9167 or email dc.release@fdc.myflorida.com. They handle all state inmate releases in Florida. County jails like Orange County do not manage state inmates once they transfer to prison.
Note: The state database refreshes completely each week, with release dates and location changes updated nightly.
