Flagler County Inmate Search

This article explains how to complete a Flagler County Florida Inmate Search, what the results mean, and how to use official county and state resources to handle related needs like visitation, inmate funds, mail, court processes, and public records. You’ll learn how to find current custody status, booking details, upcoming court information, and where to go for authoritative rules and services—using only official links and departments.

Use the Official Flagler County Inmate Search Portal First

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office maintains an online inquiry portal that lists current and historical bookings, with tools to narrow results. Start your search on the Flagler County Sheriff Inmate Search portal, which displays name-based results, custody status, booking dates, and housing facility information. The results table will show columns such as name, subject number, demographic details, and (when applicable) whether there are multiple bookings or an “In Custody” status. Each name opens a detail page that includes demographic data, booking history, charges, court docket numbers and dates, bond entries, and disposition notes—giving you an authoritative snapshot of a person’s status with the county jail.

Use filters like Name, Subject Number, Booking Number, Booking From/To Date, and Housing Facility to refine who and what you’re looking for.

When available, an “In Custody” tag indicates that the person is currently held at the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility.

Selecting an individual record opens the Inmate Detail view, where you can review booking events chronologically, including charge descriptions, bond type/amount/status, disposition entries, and scheduled court dates if shown.

Master the Search Filters to Find the Right Person Faster

Target names precisely

Begin with a last name and first initial if you’re unsure of spelling. The portal indexes thousands of historical entries; a broad search often returns many similarly spelled names. If you see more than one likely match, open the detail page for each candidate and compare date of birth, physical description, and aliases listed in the demographic section.

Narrow by booking window

If you know the approximate arrest or booking date, use Booking From Date and Booking To Date to trim the list. This is especially useful when searching a common name, because it limits results to a specific time period.

Use identifying numbers when possible

Subject Number is the inmate’s internal identifier within the Sheriff’s Office system and is extremely precise if you have it from previous records or court paperwork.

Booking Number is specific to a single event. If you are tracking a particular arrest, searching by booking number takes you directly to that incident.

Confirm the housing facility

Flagler County lists Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Jail as the housing facility in the portal. Check this field when you need to verify that a person is held in the county jail rather than another jurisdiction.

Demographic and identifying data

The top of the profile includes name, subject number, date of birth, race, gender, height/weight, and any listed aliases. Confirming these details helps ensure you’re viewing the correct person.

Booking history timeline

The Booking History lists every booking event tied to the subject, each with a booking date and time, and sometimes a release date. Use this to see whether a person has multiple recent entries (for example, a new arrest while out on a previous case) and to verify the current custody status.

Charges and court entries

The Charges table gives a count and description for each offense (e.g., “TAMPER WITNESS/VICTIM,” “KIDNAPPING”), the offense date, court docket number, scheduled court dates, disposition (e.g., “Dismissed,” “Sentenced DOC,” “No Information”), and any listed sentence length. This section is critical if you need to track court obligations or past outcomes.

Bonds and financials shown in booking

Beneath the booking block you’ll see Bond Number, Bond Type (e.g., Cash/Surety), Bond Amount, and Bond Status entries. An Active status typically indicates that a bond was set on that charge and has not been forfeited or released. If the total indicates No Bond, it usually means a person must remain in custody until a court sets terms or a sentence is served, as reflected by court actions in the charges area.

Check Visitation Rules Before You Go

Flagler County uses a video visitation system and regulates who can visit, what they may bring, and the dress code. Visit the Sheriff’s Office page for hours, scheduling options, and eligibility notes. You’ll find key rules about identification requirements, search procedures, behavioral standards, intoxication prohibitions, and clothing guidelines. Attorneys or public defenders may visit subject to space availability, and there are specific steps to request privileged video visits.

Review the official policy on Jail Visitation.

What to know before you schedule:

Video visitation hours are listed on the Sheriff’s page; the county permits two 60-minute sessions per week per inmate (subject to change per facility needs).

Children can participate in video visitation when accompanied by an adult.

Visitation can be denied for safety/security concerns, existing no-contact orders, or if a visitor is a victim in a violent case involving the inmate.

Visitors are restricted to car keys and valid government-issued photo ID inside the visitation area; all visitors are subject to search.

Dress appropriately; transparent, overly revealing, or otherwise inappropriate attire will result in denial at the discretion of staff.

Tip: Same-day appointments may be available on a first-come, first-served basis, but it’s smart to schedule ahead.

Add Funds to an Inmate Account the Official Way

The Sheriff’s Office outlines accepted methods for depositing funds on the county’s Inmate Funds page. You’ll find procedures for lobby kiosk deposits, mailing money orders, and other officially recognized methods, including timelines for commissary availability.

Read the county’s instructions here: Inmate Funds.

Key points to remember:

The Lobby Kiosk at the Visitation Center accepts cash, debit, and credit during posted hours.

Money orders by mail must include the sender’s name, return address, and the inmate’s name, and must be payable to the Flagler County Inmate Trust Fund with specific timing to count toward Wednesday commissary purchases.

The county provides additional methods for card and cash payments following the procedures listed by the Sheriff’s Office; follow the official page’s instructions carefully to avoid delays.

Send Mail the Right Way (and Avoid Delays)

Mail is a vital connection for many families. Flagler County provides an official page covering mail addressing, content rules, and processing. Because jail mail policies can change, always verify the current standards on the official site before sending anything.

Follow the county’s guidance on Inmate Mail.

Practical tips:

Address mail exactly as the Sheriff’s Office instructs for processing.

Avoid prohibited items and enclosures; contraband will be refused and could result in sanctions.

Include a return address on all correspondence to ensure it can be returned if undeliverable.

Understand Court, Detention, and Transportation Services

The Sheriff’s Court and Detention Services division oversees jail operations, court security, and judicial processes. The jail—known as the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility—includes admissions and release, classification, transportation, medical, commissary, and program units. The division also covers Court Security (bailiffs) and the Judicial Process & Fugitive Unit, which handles civil and criminal process, arrests on warrants, and court orders like writs and capias.

Learn about the division’s scope here: Court and Detention Services.

What this means for your search:

If an inmate is in transit (e.g., to court, state prison, or medical appointments), momentary unavailability for visitation or phone access can occur.

Classification decisions determine housing assignments and restrictions, which can affect visitation schedules and program access.

The Admissions and Release unit processes bookings and releases; if an inmate has just been arrested or released, the Inmate Search may update after processing is complete.

Bail and Bond: What to Know Before You Pay

Flagler County’s official Bail and Bond Information page explains the differences between cash bonds and surety bonds, the purpose of bond, and how refunds are handled when cases conclude. The page also emphasizes that bonds and cash are accepted 24 hours a day and describes how bond amounts are set.

Consult the official county guidance: Bail and Bond Information.

Quick points:

A bond guarantees the defendant’s appearance in court; failure to appear can result in forfeiture.

Cash bond is refundable (less any court-ordered costs or fines) at the case’s conclusion through the appropriate county office.

Surety bonds are arranged through a bonding agency registered with the Clerk (facility personnel cannot recommend agencies).

The Sheriff’s Office suggests verifying the person’s custody status through the county Inmate Search before you attempt to post bond.

Public Records and Case-Related Documentation

If you need reports, records, or documentation related to an arrest, booking, or jail incident, Flagler County provides an online entry point for records requests. While criminal case files and court records are subject to state law and court custodians, the Sheriff’s Office Public Information/Records page explains how to request records held by the agency.

Start with the Sheriff’s official page for Record Requests.

Good to know:

Some records are exempt or redacted by law; response times and fees can vary based on scope.

If you’re seeking court records (e.g., filings, sentencing orders), the Clerk of the Circuit Court is the custodian. The Clerk’s office is located in the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center; confirm availability and procedures directly with that office.

How the Florida Sex Offender/Predator Search Fits In

If your inquiry overlaps with safety planning—such as verifying an offender’s status or address compliance—you can search the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) registry. This is a statewide, official database and separate from the county’s inmate roster. It’s useful when your concern is broader than a current county jail booking.

Use the official Sex Offender Search provided by FDLE.

When to use it:

You need to know whether someone is a registered sexual offender or predator in Florida.

You’re planning a move, coordinating child visitation, or otherwise assessing neighborhood safety.

Your inmate search results show charges that may require registration post-release, and you want the authoritative statewide status.

Interpreting Common Statuses and Notes in Search Results

“In Custody”

Indicates the person is currently housed by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office jail. The Housing Facility field confirms the location.

“Multiple Bookings”

Appears when the person has more than one booking event in the system. Open the profile and read the Booking History to see the timeline and whether the person is currently held or was released.

Disposition terms (examples)

Dismissed – The charge was dropped by the court or prosecutor per the docket entry.

Sentenced DOC – The sentence commits the person to the Florida Department of Corrections; county custody usually transitions to state custody after court processing and transport.

No Information – Prosecutors declined to file formal charges for that count.

Sentenced CJ – Indicates a sentence to county jail time as reflected in the record.

Bond line items

Each charge may have a separate Bond Number, Type (e.g., Cash/Surety), Amount, and Status. The Total Bond across charges may control release eligibility, and No Bond lines typically reflect non-bondable offenses or court-ordered hold conditions pending a judge’s decision.

Schedule Visitation and Communicate Effectively

Plan ahead around facility hours

Video visitation has weekday time windows and session limits that can fill quickly. Scheduling in advance helps ensure you secure a slot during preferred hours.

Prepare your identification

Bring an acceptable government-issued photo ID for any in-person steps at the visitation center. All visitors are subject to search and must comply with dress and behavior rules.

Be mindful of legal restrictions

If a no-contact order or injunction exists, you will be denied visitation—even for virtual sessions. Likewise, if there’s concern that a visit would jeopardize facility security or involve a victim in a violent offense, the visit will not be allowed.

For official rules and to schedule, use Jail Visitation.

Support an Inmate’s Basic Needs: Funds, Commissary, and Programs

Commissary and indigent items

The Commissary Unit provides access to approved hygiene items, snacks, and basic communications. Funds must be in the inmate’s account before weekly ordering deadlines.

Medical screening and care

The Medical Unit screens, evaluates, and treats inmates. If you need to understand how health needs are handled at the jail, consult the Sheriff’s official medical information page: Inmate Medical.

Programs and services

The Program Unit coordinates visitation, substance abuse, religious, psychological, and educational programming. Program placements may depend on housing classification and security needs determined by the jail.

For the facility’s overall mission and structure, review Court and Detention Services.

When the Person Leaves County Custody

If the Disposition indicates Sentenced DOC, the person will transfer to state custody. Immediately after sentencing, the county may still display an “In Custody” status until transport occurs. Once moved, the county roster will eventually reflect the change. When county custody ends—because of release, transfer, or dismissal—the booking line will show a release date or disposition that clarifies the outcome.

Practical approach: If today’s hearing changed status (e.g., bond modified or sentence imposed), allow time for the Admissions and Release Unit to update the record. Then recheck the Flagler County Inmate Search to confirm.

If You Need Agency Records or Court Paperwork

Sheriff’s Office records (e.g., certain arrest reports or incident logs) can be requested through Record Requests.

Court records (dockets, pleadings, final judgments) are maintained by the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center. Use the Clerk for bond refunds and case file copies where the court is the custodian.

Quick Troubleshooting for Your Inmate Search

“I can’t find the person I just heard was arrested.”

Try searching only by last name and widen the Booking From/To Date range to include the current day and previous day.

Repeat the search later; if the person is still in booking, it can take time for the public entry to appear.

“The name is right, but the details don’t match.”

Open multiple results to compare date of birth and aliases; Flagler County’s system includes many historical entries with similar names.

“The person shows released, but I thought they were still in jail.”

Check the release date line; a judge may have modified bond or concluded the case.

It’s possible the person was transferred to another facility; the county entry will stop showing “In Custody” once the transfer processes.
