The Volusia Co Branch Jail is a detention center located at 1300 Red John Rd Daytona Beach, FL which is operated locally by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Volusia County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Daytona Beach Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

You can see all the arrest records for Florida here.

The Branch Jail houses inmates who are in pretrial status, state-sentenced, and medium and high custody non-sentenced males, with a design capacity of 899 inmates. After their initial court appearance, inmates are transferred from the intake housing unit to Case Management orientation. During this orientation, a Case Counselor interviews and classifies each inmate based on their charges, criminal history, and other relevant factors. Following classification, security staff assigns inmates to appropriate housing units. Inmate classifications are not permanent and may change during their stay, depending on behavior or new charges. Each unit has a Case Counselor available for assistance, and inmates can communicate with their counselor as needed.

Typically, it takes one to two days for the clerk to process future court dates after the First Appearance. Inmates may subsequently have Arraignments, Hearings, Pretrials, and Trials, which can be held at any of the county’s four locations. For information on inmate court dates and locations, visit the Clerk of the Court’s website at www.clerk.org.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and compliant with the facility's regulations. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility maintains better security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate.
