Orange County Released Inmates

Orange County maintains a current inmate database that shows released inmates and people still in custody. The Orange County Corrections system updates this database every 30 minutes. When a person's information enters the Inmate Management System, it appears online within half an hour. When someone leaves jail, they disappear from the current listings right away. You can search the database to find out if a person is in jail or was recently released. The system includes booking photos, charges, bond amounts, and other details for people booked into Orange County facilities.

Searching the Current Inmate Database

The Current Inmate Database is at netapps.ocfl.net/BestJail/Home/Inmates. This database lists people currently in jail and includes information on their charges, bond amount, and booking photo. Inclusion in these lists does not indicate guilt. If you have any questions about the information in these pages, phone Orange County Inmate Records Management at (407) 836-3400.

This information is updated every 30 minutes. When a person's information is entered into the Orange County Corrections Inmate Management System, that information is updated to this listing within 30 minutes. When a person is released from jail, they will no longer appear in these listings. The quick update speed means you get current information, but recently released inmates may still show up for a short time before the next update runs.

To use the search, enter the inmate's last name. You can also add the first name to narrow results. Click search and the system shows all matches. Results display full names and booking numbers.

Daily Reports and Statistics

Orange County Corrections provides several other reports beyond the current inmate search. The Daily Booking List shows all inmates booked during the 24-hour period beginning at midnight of the preceding day. This report helps you see who was just brought into custody. You can check this list each day to track new bookings.

Inmate Population Statistics show race and ethnicity statistics for the current inmate population. This report updates daily. It provides a snapshot of who is in the jail at any given time. The statistics help researchers and the public understand the makeup of the jail population.

The First Appearance List updates daily and shows inmates scheduled for their first appearance before a judge. At this hearing, the judge informs the inmate of new charges and sets bond status. First appearance happens seven days per week, including holidays. This list helps families and lawyers know when an inmate will go before a judge.

What Information Is Not Public

Under Florida Statutes Title 47 Chapter 945.10, certain inmate information cannot be released to the public. Witness protection program information stays confidential to protect people's safety. Any information that could jeopardize someone's safety is not disclosed. Records exempt under other Public Records Laws are also withheld. Medical records, mental health treatment information, and substance abuse records are confidential.

If you try to access these types of records, the agency will deny your request or redact the information. To get medical or mental health records for an inmate, you need written permission from that person. Use form DC4-711B from the Florida Department of Corrections. The form is at fdc-media.ccplatform.net. The inmate must sign it to release their protected health information. Without this form, all medical details will be blocked out.
