Find Jacksonville Released Inmates

Jacksonville released inmates are held at Duval County jail facilities run by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. When someone gets arrested in Jacksonville, they go to a JSO detention center. The JSO runs all jail operations in Duval County. You can search for released inmates through the online inmate search portal. This tool shows both current inmates and historical information about people who have been released. The search database updates regularly to reflect new bookings and releases throughout each day and night.

Sheriff's Released Inmate Portal

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office handles all law enforcement and jail operations in Duval County. JSO runs several detention facilities throughout Jacksonville. The main phone line for jail information is (904) 630-5787. You can visit the JSO website at jaxsheriff.org for more details about jail facilities and inmate services.

JSO operates the Department of Corrections, which manages all aspects of inmate custody, booking, and release. When police make an arrest anywhere in Jacksonville, they bring the person to a JSO facility for booking. The booking process includes taking fingerprints, photos, and personal information. After booking, inmates may post bond and get released, or they stay in custody until their court date.

How to Search Jacksonville Released Inmates

The JSO Inmate Information Search tool is at inmatesearch.jaxsheriff.org. This web portal lets you search for both current and historical information about incarcerated and released inmates. You can quickly view mugshots and other useful inmate information, such as charges filed against the person.

The search tool shows current inmates still in custody and historical records of people who have been released. Enter a name to start your search. The system returns matches with booking photos, charge details, and custody status. If someone has been released, the database shows their release information. This makes it easy to find out if a person is still in jail or has been let go.

Duval County Jail System

Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida by population and covers most of Duval County. The consolidated city-county government means JSO handles both city policing and county jail operations. This setup differs from most Florida cities, where the city police arrest people but the county sheriff runs the jails. In Jacksonville, JSO does both jobs.

All inmates arrested in Jacksonville are processed through the Duval County jail system. There is no separate city jail. If you need to find someone arrested in Jacksonville, check the Duval County inmate records through JSO. The county page has more details about jail facilities, visitation rules, and how to send money to inmates.

State Prison Records in Florida

Some inmates in Jacksonville move from county jail to state prison after sentencing. The Florida Department of Corrections runs state prisons and maintains a separate database. If you cannot find someone in the JSO inmate search, they may have been transferred to state custody. Use the FDC Offender Search at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com to look up state inmates.

The FDC database includes an Inmate Release Information Search that updates nightly. This tool shows both released inmates and those scheduled for release. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes governs public access to these records. Section 945.10 lists exemptions for confidential information like medical records and witness protection details.

Other Major Florida Cities

Other large cities in Florida also use county jail systems for arrested residents. Each county maintains its own inmate search portal.
