How to Look Up an Inmate at John E. Goode Pre-Trial Detention (JSO Inmate Information Search)

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office runs an online Inmate Information Search tool. You can use it to look up anyone in custody and confirm booking details - all from your browser.

Search results typically include a mugshot along with booking details and charges. That mugshot is often the fastest way to verify you've found the right person, especially when you're searching for a common name.

1. Open the JSO Inmate Information Search - Start on the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office inmate search tool.
2. Enter the person’s name (or other identifiers if available) - Use the most complete information you have to narrow results and reduce mix-ups.
3. Review the results carefully - Look for matching details and confirm you have the right person.
4. Open the individual record - This is where you’ll typically see the mugshot and other inmate information, including charges.
5. Write down key details from the page - Save the identifying info you’ll need for next steps (like confirming you’re dealing with the correct booking).

What to Record

• ✓ Full name as listed in the record
• ✓ Mugshot (or the mugshot view in the record)
• ✓ Charges shown on the record
• ✓ Any booking or identifying numbers shown on the page
• ✓ Any other inmate details displayed that help confirm you have the right person

The details on the JSO search page aren't just nice to have - they're what you'll need for whatever comes next. The mugshot confirms identity when multiple people share a name. The listed charges verify you're looking at the correct booking. And any ID or booking number shown? Save it. Those identifiers come up constantly when matching someone to the right jail record.

If you use accessibility tools, the JSO website states it's committed to meeting ADA, Section 508, and WCAG2 guidelines. Since the inmate search runs through JSO's site, those same accessibility standards apply.

After Find Next Steps

• ✓ Save the mugshot and the charges shown in the record so you can confirm you’re referencing the correct person later
• ✓ Write down any booking or identifying number shown in the search results
• ✓ Use the information you found to move on to practical next steps like visitation planning and deposits (using the official facility or service pages tied to JSO’s inmate information)

When you're setting up anything connected to a jail record - a request, an account, a form - you'll usually need to confirm exactly who you mean. Having the inmate's details from the JSO search handy (the mugshot, charges, and any ID number) helps you avoid delays from selecting the wrong person.
