Volusia County Booking and Release Process

When someone is arrested in Volusia County, they are taken to one of the two jail facilities for booking. The booking process includes taking fingerprints, photographs, and personal information. The person is assigned a booking number and placed in a cell to wait for their first appearance hearing.

At the first appearance hearing, a judge informs the person of their charges and sets a bond amount. If the person can post bond, they are released from custody. Some people are released on their own recognizance, which means they do not have to pay bond. Others stay in jail if they cannot afford to pay the bond or if they are held without bond.

People who are convicted of crimes may serve their sentences in the county jail if the sentence is short. Longer sentences are served in state prison. When someone completes their sentence or is released on probation, they are let go from the jail. The Division of Corrections updates the inmate database to reflect the release.

Releases can happen at any time of day or night. Some people are released in the morning after their court hearings. Others are released late at night after processing paperwork. If you are trying to pick up someone who is being released, call the jail first to find out when they will be let go.

Florida State Prison Inmates

If someone was sentenced to state prison after being convicted of a felony, they are in the Florida Department of Corrections system. State prison inmates do not appear in the county jail inmate search. You need to use the FDC offender search instead.

The FDC offender search is at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com. This portal lets you search for current and released state inmates. The Inmate Release Information Search shows people who have been released or are scheduled for release. The information is updated nightly.

You can search by name, DC number, or other identifying information. The DC number is a six-character identifier assigned by the Department of Corrections. It is either all numbers or one letter followed by five numbers. Using the DC number makes your search more accurate.

For questions about state inmate releases, call the Bureau of Admission and Release at (850) 488-9167 or email dc.release@fdc.myflorida.com. State prison facilities are located throughout Florida, and inmates can be transferred to different facilities during their sentences.
