How to search Duval County current and historical inmate records
How to read a Duval County inmate-search result
| Field | What it identifies | What it does not prove | Best next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-digit booking number | The number assigned to the custody and booking event. | It does not establish guilt or final disposition. | Use it for personal mail, inmate questions and service accounts. |
| Booking date | When the person entered the jail intake process. | It may differ from the time of arrest or alleged offense. | Use it to distinguish current and historical bookings. |
| Release date or status | Whether the listed custody event has ended or release is recorded. | Release does not mean dismissal or acquittal. | Search the related Clerk case. |
| Charge | The alleged offense entered during arrest or intake. | The State Attorney may file a different charge or decline it. | Locate the filed information, complaint or disposition in CORE. |
| Bond amount | The bond entry currently associated with a charge or matter. | Paying one bond may not clear all charges or holds. | Confirm every charge and hold with the jail before payment. |
| Case number | The identifier associated with a court matter. | One booking may involve multiple cases. | Search each case number separately in CORE. |
| Facility or housing | The current institutional assignment shown by JSO. | Housing can change after classification, court or transfer. | Confirm before sending legal mail or traveling. |
| Mugshot | A photograph associated with a booking event. | A photograph is not evidence of conviction. | Compare stronger identifiers before treating it as a match. |

Does the JSO search include released inmates?

How do I check the final criminal case result?
