Jacksonville Booking Lookup: Find Custody, Charges, Bond and Release Details
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office inmate database can show current custody and historical booking information, but finding a name is only the first step. Families also need to understand the jail number, facility, charges, bond, next court action, visitation rules and services connected with that booking.
This guide explains those rules directly, including intake delays, all major JSO correctional facilities, video visits, mail scanning, account deposits, phone access, civil purge payments, court records, public-record requests, medical fees, ADA assistance and release notifications.
Current and historical incarcerated or released inmates.
500 E. Adams St., Jacksonville.
Video only; no traditional in-person visits.
Official information reviewed August 5, 2026.
Choose the quickest path based on what you already know
Begin with the surname. Use the active-inmate option for present custody, or leave the search broad when checking an older Jacksonville booking.
Use the identifier directly. It is more precise than a name and helps with facility questions, mail, deposits and communication accounts.
Copy every criminal case number from the booking result and search the Duval Clerk CORE system for filings, hearings, orders and disposition.
How to search the Jacksonville jail roster without missing the inmate
What the fields in a JSO inmate result mean
| Field | What it identifies | What it does not prove | Best next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jail number | An identifier used within the Jacksonville correctional system. | It does not explain the final criminal case outcome. | Use it when calling JSO or distinguishing same-name records. |
| JSO ID | A person-level identifier associated with JSO records. | It is not necessarily the same as the booking or court case number. | Use it to narrow current or historical search results. |
| 10-digit booking number | A specific jail intake or custody event. | It does not mean every arrest allegation became a filed charge. | Use it for personal mail and many inmate-service transactions. |
| Admitted date | When the person entered the JSO correctional process. | It may differ from the incident, arrest or court-filing date. | Use it to separate recent and older bookings. |
| Release date | When that custody event is shown as ending. | Release does not mean dismissal, acquittal or innocence. | Search the criminal case to determine the court status. |
| Release reason | The recorded reason that the custody episode ended. | A short system label may not describe every case or hold. | Confirm with JSO when the wording is unclear. |
| Housing facility | The correctional facility presently associated with the inmate. | Housing can change because of classification, court, medical or operational needs. | Verify the facility before sending legal mail or books. |
| Arresting agency | The agency responsible for the arrest or custody action. | JSO may house someone arrested by another local, state or federal agency. | Request the arrest report from the agency that created it. |
| Charge | The alleged offense recorded for the booking or related case. | It is not a judicial finding and may later be changed or declined. | Check the Duval Clerk docket for the formally filed charge. |
| Bond, fine or purge | A financial amount presently connected with a listed matter. | Paying one amount may not clear another case, warrant or hold. | Confirm every line before making payment. |
| Case number | The number used for the criminal or court matter. | One booking can connect to multiple case numbers. | Search each number separately in the Clerk’s CORE system. |
| Next court date | A currently displayed scheduled event. | Court dates can be continued, cancelled or changed. | Recheck the Clerk docket, especially after 2 p.m. on the day before court. |
Current inmate search versus historical booking information
Use this view to determine whether someone is presently listed in JSO custody and to find the current facility, charges and booking identifiers.
Use the broader search when the person was previously incarcerated and released. Match the admitted and released dates to the event you need.
| Your question | Start with | Then verify |
|---|---|---|
| Is this person held now? | Active inmate search | Call jail information when booking or release is recent. |
| Was this person booked before? | Historical search without the active-only filter | Admitted date, release date and JSO identifiers. |
| Why was the person arrested? | Charge and arresting-agency fields | Request the arrest or incident report from the creating agency. |
| Was the person convicted? | Duval Clerk court case | Judgment, dismissal, nolle prosequi, plea, verdict or disposition document. |
| Where is the person now? | Current housing or facility field | JSO may release or transfer the person after the last online update. |

JSO inmate search and Jacksonville jail FAQs
How do I search the JSO jail inmate roster?
Use the official JSO inmate-information search. Begin with the last name or a known identifier, open each possible result and verify the name, age, booking date, jail number, JSO ID, charges and facility.
Does the JSO search include released inmates?
Yes. JSO describes the system as containing current and historical incarcerated or released inmate information. Use the active-inmate option when you need only current custody.
Why is a recent arrest not showing?
The person may still be completing transport, identity clearance, property inventory, medical screening or booking. Search again later with fewer fields or call 904-630-5760.
What is the Jacksonville jail address and phone number?
The John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility is at 500 East Adams Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202. Jail and inmate information is available at 904-630-5760.
Can I visit a JSO inmate in person?
Traditional face-to-face visitation is not offered. Remote video visits use GettingOut, and free onsite video visits are available by appointment at 500 East Adams Street.
What is the JSO inmate mailing address?
Send ordinary personal mail to Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office – Duval, FL, followed by the inmate’s full name and 10-digit booking number, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131.
How do I send money or pay for calls?
Use Access Secure Deposits online, by telephone at 1-866-345-1884 or at an approved facility kiosk. Telephone-account assistance is available through OffenderConnect at 1-877-650-4249.
How do I post a cash bond or civil purge?
A full cash bond may be paid at the downtown jail public reception area using an accepted method. Civil purge payments are normally handled through Domestic Relations during business hours and at the jail after hours.
How do I check the criminal case after an arrest?
Copy every case number from the JSO result and search the Duval Clerk CORE system. Review the filed charges, hearings, orders and final disposition rather than relying only on the booking allegation.
How can I receive a release notification?
Register through VINE online or call 1-877-846-3435. VINE may notify registered users about release, transfer, escape or death, but it should not be the only part of a safety plan.
