Volusia County Branch Jail

Day or night, you can get inmate information from the 899-bed Volusia County Branch Jail by calling 386-254-1555.

Misdemeanor and felony arrests made in this county are brought to this facility, where the arrestee goes through booking and processing. When the charges require it, the person is held until they are released on bond, released on their own recognizance, or ordered to stay in custody until their trial is resolved.

The inmate search tool lets you browse the roster of people who have been arrested and remain in custody.

If found guilty, inmates with sentences of less than one year serve their time here. Those with longer sentences serve their time in the Florida State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

This page explains how to use the jail roster, how to reach the facility, and how inmate services work, including visitation hours and policies, inmate accounts, mail, inmate calls, voicemail, email and text, tablet rentals, bail, and commissary.

You’ll often be asked for the inmate’s booking number or jail ID, so save it once you find it. If you can’t locate it online, call Volusia County Branch Jail at 386-254-1555.

Volusia County Branch Jail Inmate Search

Florida law entitles most people arrested in Volusia County to reasonable pretrial release, unless they are charged with a capital or life felony and the proof is evident, or a judge finds no conditions would protect the public. Lower-level misdemeanors and traffic cases are often handled with a notice to appear. Bond amounts for most other charges come from a uniform statewide bond schedule set by the Florida Supreme Court.

Need an inmate’s bail amount? Call the Volusia County Branch Jail at 386-254-1555. The Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 lists the minimum bond for each type of offense, but local circuits may require more, and some charges can’t be bonded out until a judge holds a first appearance hearing. The county accepts cash, surety, or property bonds, or may release the offender on personal recognizance.

The Volusia County Branch Jail is licensed to house 899 inmates, but it is often forced to hold many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates per month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Volusia County facilities much longer.

Volusia County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 32,340 offenders annually.

About the Volusia County Branch Jail

Unlike most Florida counties, Volusia’s jails are run by county government. The Volusia County Division of Corrections operates them, not the Sheriff. The Volusia County Branch Jail at 1300 Red John Drive, Daytona Beach, FL 32124 is the main jail and the place families deal with most. Its booking office is open 24 hours at (386) 254-1555. The Branch Jail opened in 1987 with 899 beds and now has 1,042. It holds men awaiting trial, people with state sentences, and medium- and high-custody men who have not been sentenced. Across both county jails, the Division reported an average daily population of 1,345 and 18,788 bookings in 2024. Use the county’s inmate information search to find someone.

First appearance hearings take place at the Branch Jail, and Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.130 requires one within 24 hours of arrest. Volusia County is in Florida’s Seventh Judicial Circuit. Its chief judge has adopted the Florida Supreme Court’s 2026 uniform statewide bond schedule (AOSC25-69) for bonds set before first appearance. It sets minimum amounts, the judge at first appearance is not bound by it, and certain serious charges require a judge’s review before release (sections 903.011, 903.046 and 907.041, Florida Statutes). Article I, Section 14 of the Florida Constitution guarantees most defendants reasonable pretrial release. The exceptions are capital or life felonies where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and cases where no conditions can protect the community. Minor misdemeanors often end with a notice to appear.

All bonds for Volusia County inmates are posted at the Branch Jail, whichever facility the person is in, either in cash or through a bail bond agent. A bail agent’s premium on a state bond is 10% (Florida Department of Financial Services). Call the booking office for the bond amount before you come. Release paperwork usually takes 2–4 hours. Since April 29, 2024, inmates are not released between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless a responsible person is there to drive them. Property is kept in the Corrections ID/Receiving area. Proper ID is needed to pick it up, and it is held for five days after release is approved.

Volusia offers no contact visits. Video visits take place in the Video Visitation Building at 1300A Red John Drive, next to the Branch Jail. Book through ICSolutions at icsolutions.com or (888) 646-9437, at least 24 hours ahead (by 9 p.m. the night before) and up to two weeks out. Sessions run Tuesday through Saturday, from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. and from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m., in half-hour slots. Up to two people and two small children can visit at once. Visitors 18 and older need photo ID showing a date of birth, and minors need a state ID, birth certificate or legal papers and must be with an adult. Short-shorts, miniskirts, strapless, see-through, spandex, low-cut and mesh or muscle shirts are not allowed.

You cannot call an inmate, but they can call out, text, write and have visits. Communication is restricted during the first 72 hours after booking. Regular mail is scanned off site and delivered on tablets. Address it to: SCH-VCDC FL, inmate name – booking number, PO Box 30, Pinellas Park, FL 33781. Legal mail goes to Volusia County Corrections at 1354 Indian Lake Road, Daytona Beach, FL 32124. Access Corrections handles deposits through the lobby kiosk (cash, Visa or Mastercard), accesscorrections.com, its mobile app, (866) 345-1884, or cash at participating Dollar General, Family Dollar, Walgreens, CVS and Walmart stores. The county charges a $30 booking fee and $5 a day, and the daily fee is waived for inmates who work. For medical concerns, call Health Services at (386) 254-1547.

For warrants, check FDLE’s wanted persons search, which does not list every warrant. The jail is off U.S. 92 (International Speedway Blvd.), about four miles west of Interstate 95. Votran runs Route 60 (East West Connector) and other routes in the area, but we could not confirm a stop near Red John Drive, so check Votran’s trip planner. RaceTrac at 3030 W International Speedway Blvd is the closest gas and is open 24 hours, with a Sunoco at 2501 W International Speedway Blvd closer to town. The nearest fast food is a few miles east near the Speedway: Chick-fil-A at 100 N Williamson Blvd and Krystal at 2550 W International Speedway Blvd.
