Contact us – Jail Roster is the page where you reach our team for help with the Florida jail roster, inmate search, and booking records. We are a private data site that pulls public jail data from counties across Florida.
You can use this page to send us corrections, ask questions, report problems, or pitch business ideas. We answer most messages within one business day. If your question is about an official record, we point you to the right Florida office that handles it. Below you will find every contact method, our office hours, and direct links to county jails and the Florida Department of Corrections.
How to Reach the Jail Roster Team
There are four simple ways to reach the Jail Roster team. Each method works for a different type of request. Pick the one that matches your need to get the fastest reply from our staff.
Use the Contact Form on Our Site
The contact form on the main Jail Roster site is the fastest way to reach us. Fill in your name, email, and a short message about your question. The form sends your note straight to our support staff. You do not need an account to use the form. We read every submission by hand and reply by email. Most form messages get a response within 24 hours.
Email the Support Team
You can also email us directly at our support address. Use email for longer messages, screenshots, or attachments that show a problem on the site. Always include the page link and the inmate name or booking number when your question is about a specific Florida jail inmate search result. This helps us fix the issue without sending extra questions back to you.
Phone Support Hours
Our phone line is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Call us for time-sensitive issues, such as a wrong mugshot that needs fast removal. We do not offer phone support on weekends or federal holidays. If you call after hours, leave a voicemail. We will call you back the next business day.
Response Time and Follow-Up
Most form and email messages get a reply within 24 hours. Complex data correction requests may take two to three business days. We do not send auto-replies, so check your spam folder if you do not see our response. You can reply to the same email thread to add more details without starting a new ticket.
What Our Jail Roster Team Can Help With
Our team handles questions, corrections, and feedback tied to the Jail Roster website. We work on the site every day to keep Florida jail roster data fresh and accurate. Here are the main areas we cover for users across the state.
Fixing Wrong Information on a Record
If you see a name, photo, or charge that does not match the person, tell us. Send the URL, the inmate name, and what looks wrong. We check the source county feed and fix the page within two business days. Wrong data is our top priority because people use this site to make real-world decisions about bonds, visitation, and case research.
Broken Links and Page Errors
Pages sometimes break when a county changes its website. If you click a link and it does not work, send us the link and a short note. Our tech team tests every report and updates dead links. You do not need a tech background to report a broken page. A short message is enough for us to start the fix.
Account and Subscription Questions
Some features on Jail Roster require a paid account. If you have questions about billing, login, or plan upgrades, our support team can help. We can also reset your password or close your account on request. We never store your credit card details on our servers, so we cannot see your full card number. You must work with your bank for any card changes.
Data Update Requests
Counties update their jail rosters on different schedules. Some post new bookings every hour. Others only update once a day. If you need a specific record refreshed sooner, ask us. We can pull a fresh feed for that county if the public feed allows it. We never post data that the county has not yet released.
What Our Team Cannot Do for You
Jail Roster is not a government office. We do not have the power to change a person’s legal status, seal a record, or give you an official certified copy of a document. We can only help with our website. For all other needs, you must contact the right Florida office directly. The list below covers the most common requests we cannot fulfill.
Official Court Records and Case Files
For court files, docket sheets, and case rulings, contact the Clerk of Court in the county where the case was filed. Each of Florida’s 67 counties has its own Clerk of Court office. They handle civil, criminal, family, and traffic cases. You can search their online portal or visit the office in person. There is often a small fee for printed copies.
Land and Deed Records
Land records, deeds, and mortgages are kept by the county Clerk of Court or Comptroller. You can search these records online through the county property appraiser or clerk website. Some counties charge a small fee for printed copies. We do not store any land or deed data on Jail Roster.
Birth, Death, and Marriage Records
The Florida Department of Health keeps all vital records. You can order a certified copy of a birth, death, marriage, or divorce record through their website. Walk-in service is also available at their office in Jacksonville. We cannot help with vital records requests, certified copies, or apostille orders.
Tax Records and Tax Payments
For tax data, liens, or property tax bills, contact the county Tax Collector. Each county has a Tax Collector office that handles tax payments, business receipts, and vehicle tags. Most counties also let you pay taxes online. We do not accept tax payments on behalf of any county.
Official Florida Jail and Inmate Contact Resources
Below is a list of the main Florida offices that handle inmate and jail data. These are the official sources we pull from for our Florida jail roster. Contact them directly if you need an official record, a release date, or a court date for a current inmate. The table below shows major county jails and their main contact lines.
Florida Department of Corrections
The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) runs the state prison system. They house inmates who have been convicted and sentenced to state time. The FDC inmate lookup tool lets you search for state prisoners by name or DC number. For questions about state inmates, call the FDC main line or visit their website. The main office sits in Tallahassee and serves as the central hub for all state prison records.
County Jail Directory for Florida
Florida has 67 counties, and each county runs its own jail. The Sheriff’s Office in each county manages the local jail and its inmate roster. Most county jails post their current inmate list online and update it every few hours. If you need help with a county jail inmate lookup, the table below covers the ten largest counties by population.
Clerk of Court Offices
The Clerk of Court in each county handles court records, arrest warrants, and bond paperwork. They do not run the jail, but they can tell you the status of a case. Many Clerks offer online portals where you can search by name or case number. Bond payment is also handled at the Clerk’s office for many counties.

How to Use the Jail Roster Search Tool
The Jail Roster search bar sits on the home page of our site. You can search by inmate name, booking number, or county. The tool pulls live data from county feeds and shows results in seconds. Read each section below to learn how to get the most out of your Florida jail inmate search.
Search by Name
Type the inmate’s full legal name in the search bar. If you do not know the middle name, use only the first and last name. You can add a county filter to narrow the list. The search is case-insensitive, so you do not need to worry about capital letters. Use quotes around the full name to get exact matches when many inmates share a name.
Search by Booking Number
Each county assigns a unique booking number when someone is booked into jail. If you have this number, type it into the booking number field. This is the fastest way to find a specific inmate. The booking number never changes during the inmate’s stay in county custody. It is the most accurate way to pull a record.
Search by County
Pick a county from the drop-down list to see every inmate held there. This works well when you do not know the inmate’s name but know they are in a specific jail. The county list includes all 67 Florida counties. You can also filter by booking date to find people booked in the last 24 hours.
Reading the Roster Results
Each result shows the inmate’s name, photo, booking date, charges, and bond amount. Click a name to see full details, including court dates and release info. Some counties also list housing location and visitation rules. The data fields vary by county based on what each Sheriff’s Office shares with the public.
Common Reasons People Contact Jail Roster
Every day, we get messages from family members, lawyers, bail agents, and the public. Here are the most common reasons people reach out about our Florida jail roster and inmate records lookup. If your reason matches one of these, the answer below may save you time.
Checking on a Family Member
Family members often look up a loved one after an arrest. Our site lets you see the jail, charges, and bond amount without calling the jail. For visitation rules or phone time, call the county jail directly. Each jail sets its own rules for visit length, days, and dress code. Our pages list the jail name and main phone line for each inmate.
Verifying an Inmate’s Status
Lawyers and bail agents use our tool to confirm if someone is still in custody. The roster updates every few hours from county feeds. If you need a real-time status, call the jail’s booking desk. The booking desk can also tell you the exact housing unit of an inmate. Use the main jail phone listed in the table above for the fastest answer.
Bond and Release Questions
Bond amounts are listed on the inmate’s profile page. For questions about how to post bond, contact a licensed bail bond agent or the county jail. We do not handle bonds or accept payments on behalf of any jail. Bond schedules are also posted on each county’s public website. Read the bond fine print before you post any payment.
Visitation and Phone Calls
Each county jail sets its own rules for visits and phone calls. Some jails use video visits, others use in-person visits only. Check the inmate’s profile page for the jail name, then call the jail for the latest rules. Phone calls from jail go through a third-party provider. You must set up an account with that provider to receive calls.
Business and Partnership Inquiries
If you run a bail bond company, law firm, or background check service, you may want to partner with us. We also accept ad placements and data licensing requests. Pick the right contact path below to save time. Each path goes to a different person on our team.
Advertising Options
We offer ad space on select pages of Jail Roster. Ads are text-based and shown above the search results. Send us your ad copy, target page, and budget. We will reply with our rate card and available slots. All ads must follow Florida bar rules on lawyer advertising. Bail bond ads must follow state licensing rules.
Data Licensing Questions
Some companies need bulk access to Florida jail data. We license raw data feeds for legal and approved use cases only. Each request is reviewed by our team. You must show a valid business reason and agree to our data use rules. We do not license data for stalking, harassment, or any illegal use.
Press and Media Requests
Journalists and media outlets can reach us for comments, data, or fact checks. We respond to media requests within one business day. Please include your outlet name, deadline, and topic in your first message. We can also provide statewide booking data for research projects on a case-by-case basis.
Report a Problem on Jail Roster
Data on jail rosters changes fast. Sometimes a record is wrong, old, or missing. We rely on users to flag these issues. Below are the most common problems people report about our Florida jail booking search results, and how to report them.
Wrong Mugshot or Photo
Photo mix-ups happen when two inmates share a name. If you see the wrong photo, send us the inmate’s name, booking number, and a link to the page. We compare the photo to the county source and fix it fast. Photo errors are a top priority because they affect every person shown on the page.
Outdated Release Date
Release dates can change from a bond, court order, or transfer. Our tool updates from county feeds every few hours. If you see a release date that looks wrong, send us the inmate’s name and the date shown. We will re-pull the feed and fix the page. We do not change release dates by hand without checking the county source first.
Spelling Errors in Inmate Names
County feeds sometimes include typos. If a name is spelled wrong, send us the correct spelling and the page link. We update the record and add a note so the county can fix its own feed. Name corrections help future searches return the right person. We cannot change a name that the county has not yet updated on its end.
Missing Inmate Record
If you cannot find an inmate you know is in jail, the county feed may be delayed. Try the search again in a few hours. If the inmate still does not show up after 24 hours, send us the name, county, and booking date if you know it. We will check the county feed and add the record if it is missing from our system.
Privacy and Safety Concerns
Public jail records are public by Florida law. We follow all state rules on what we post. We also take extra steps to protect victims and seal certain records. Here is how we handle common privacy issues tied to the Florida inmate custody search and our public records.
Sealing or Removing a Record
Only a court can seal or expunge a criminal record. We cannot remove a record from our site by request. To start the sealing process, talk to a lawyer or contact the State Attorney’s Office in the county where the case was filed. Once we get a court order, we remove the record from our search results.
Victim Notification Questions
Florida has a victim notification service called VINELink. Victims can sign up to get alerts when an inmate is released or transferred. We do not run VINELink, but we link to it on every inmate profile page. Sign up is free for victims and their family members. You can also register by phone with the VINE call center.
Identity Theft from Public Records
Public records can be misused for identity theft. If you believe someone is using your identity in a jail record, contact the county jail and file a police report. Send us a copy of the report, and we will add a fraud flag to the record. The fraud flag stays on the page until the case is resolved by the court.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions below come from real user messages we get every week. Each answer is short, direct, and based on Florida law. If you have a question we do not cover here, send it through our contact form and our team will reply within one business day.
How fast does Jail Roster update from county feeds?
Most county feeds update every 1 to 4 hours. Some smaller counties only update once a day. We pull new data on a fixed schedule and mark each record with the time of its last refresh. If a record looks old, send us a note and we will check the feed right away. Our system shows a timestamp on every inmate profile page.
Can you remove a record from Jail Roster?
Only a court can seal or expunge a criminal record in Florida. We cannot remove a record by request. To seal a record, you must file a petition with the Clerk of Court in the county where the case ended. After a judge signs the order, send us a copy. We will remove the record from our site within 5 business days of getting the court order.
Is the data on Jail Roster free to use?
Yes, the Florida jail roster data on our site is free to view for personal use. You can search for inmates, look up booking dates, and check bond amounts at no cost. For commercial use, bulk data feeds, or scraping our site, you need a written license from us. Contact our data licensing team to start a request.
Why does the same inmate show up twice?
Some inmates get booked more than once for new charges. Each booking creates a new record in the Florida jail booking search. We do not merge bookings, so you may see the same person listed twice for different cases. Click each record to see the charges and dates. Bond amounts may also be separate for each booking.
Do you cover all 67 Florida counties?
Yes, we cover all 67 Florida counties. A few small counties share a regional jail, so we list them under the main county that runs the facility. Our coverage map shows which counties are live and which are on a delayed feed. We add new counties as their public data feeds become available online.
Can I use Jail Roster data for a background check?
Our data is public jail data, not a full background check. For employment, tenancy, or licensing background checks, use a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) that follows the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We do not provide FCRA-compliant reports. Our site is best for current custody status and recent booking data.
How do I report a wrong charge or court date?
Send us the inmate’s name, booking number, and the wrong charge or date. Include a link to the page. We check the county source and correct the record. Court dates change often, so always call the Clerk of Court for the latest schedule. Our page shows the last update time so you know how fresh the data is.
