Volusia County FL Correctional Facility — Inmate Records & Recent Arrests

Volusia County Branch Jail: Inmate Search, Video Visits & Bond

This page holds the inmate records we have on file for the Volusia County Branch Jail, the county detention facility run by the Volusia County Division of Corrections at 1300 Red John Road in Daytona Beach, Florida. Unlike a state prison, a county jail primarily holds people who were recently arrested and are awaiting court, along with those serving short local sentences, so its population turns over quickly. The records below are a directory of booking entries we hold for the facility; because a jail changes hour to hour, always confirm anything current against the county's live inmate search. For more on this facility — history, programs, and what to expect — see our full facility profile.

Searching for a recent arrest in Volusia County

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office and Division of Corrections publish an online list of everyone currently housed in the detention facility, and you can search it by last name, first name, or booking number. That six-digit booking number is important here — you will need it later to schedule a visit — so note it when you find your person. On this page you can also browse the records we hold by last name (A–Z), gender, or age to locate someone quickly, then confirm their current status and housing on the county's live roster. If someone who was just arrested does not appear yet, remember that a booking can take a few hours to process, so try again a little later, or call the jail at (386) 254-1555 with the person's full name and date of birth.

A genuine warning: bond scams

The Volusia County Division of Corrections has publicly warned about a fraud that specifically targets frightened families: scammers call or text pretending to be bail bondsmen or jail staff and demand money to "bond out" a loved one. Take this seriously. No one from the Volusia County Division of Corrections will ever call to solicit a bond for anyone. If you receive such a call or message, do not send money or gift cards, do not share financial information, and verify anything independently by calling the jail directly at its published number. Legitimate bail is arranged through the court and licensed bail agents, not through an unsolicited call demanding immediate payment.

Video visitation

Visits at the Volusia County Branch Jail are conducted through video conferencing rather than in-person, glass-partition visits, at the Visitation Center located at 1300A Red John Drive next to the jail. All visitors must be pre-approved by the facility and pass a security clearance, and to schedule a visit you will first need the inmate's six-digit booking number. Because video systems and schedules vary, confirm the current process, available time slots, and whether remote (at-home) video visits are offered before you plan. Video visitation can actually be convenient for families who live far from Daytona Beach, since it removes the drive, but it comes with its own rules and, sometimes, fees. Our visitation guide for this facility covers scheduling, ID rules, and what you're allowed to bring.

Sending money for commissary

The jail's commissary lets people in custody buy items like toiletries, snacks, and stationery, and family and friends can add funds to a person's account online, over the phone, or through a kiosk in the jail lobby. Money on the books can make a meaningful difference for someone held only a short time pre-trial, covering basic comforts and the ability to stay in touch. As with any jail, confirm the current approved method before sending, and keep a record of your transaction until the funds post to the account.

Writing to someone at the jail

Mail is a dependable way to reach someone in the Branch Jail, but every piece is inspected and contraband is strictly prohibited. Correspondence is addressed to the person at 1300 Red John Road, Caller Service Box 2865, Daytona Beach, FL 32120. Follow the facility's rules on what may be enclosed — many jails now limit mail to letters and specific photo formats, and some route incoming mail through a scanning service — and keep letters simple, with the person's full name as booked and a clear return address. Our letter service formats and sends mail so it meets facility rules and reaches the right person.

Phone calls and staying connected

Phone contact is often the quickest way to reach someone in the jail, especially in the anxious first days after an arrest. Calls are placed by the person in custody out to numbers on their approved list, usually through the jail's contracted phone provider, so you generally cannot call in and be connected directly — instead, make sure your number is set up and funded so their calls go through the moment they are able to reach out. Prepaid calling accounts avoid the higher cost and interruptions of collect calls, and for someone whose stay stretches on while a case proceeds, lower-cost calling arrangements can keep regular contact affordable. Pairing phone calls with the jail's video visitation gives you two reliable ways to stay in touch without a drive to Daytona Beach.

Because this is a pre-trial jail, bail may be an option

Many people at the Volusia County Branch Jail are held pre-trial, meaning they have not been convicted and may be eligible for release on bond while their case proceeds. If a bond has been set, posting bail can get your loved one home during the case, and a licensed bail agent can explain the amount, the paperwork, and the process — legitimately, and never through an unsolicited call. If no bond has been set yet, that is usually decided at an early court appearance. Everyone listed on this page is presumed innocent; an arrest and booking is an accusation, not a conviction.

What the records show, and next steps

Because the jail's population turns over quickly, a record here can lag behind a release, a transfer to another facility, or a move to state custody after sentencing. Use an entry as a lead, then confirm the person's current status on the county's live roster or by phone. From there you can take the next step: verify a bond through the court and a licensed agent, schedule a video visit with the booking number, add money for commissary, or send a first letter. Confirm anything urgent directly with the Volusia County Division of Corrections at (386) 254-1555, and stay alert to bond scams throughout.
