Union County Jail, FL

Union County Jail (Lake Butler) holds on-site visits one day per week—either Thursday or Friday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Each person may visit on one of those days, and only immediate family members are allowed. Anyone entering the facility is subject to search under Florida statute, so expect screening when you arrive. Before you travel, make sure you're on the inmate's approved visitor list and complete any required visitor application. Don't show up until you've been notified that you're approved. Schedules and rules can change, and some facilities use video visits or alternate systems—check the jail's visiting guide or call the facility for the latest instructions.

Need release updates? Union County Jail participates in the V.I.N.E.S. network for automatic victim notification—register to get alerts when an offender is released. This service is specifically for release-status notifications. For everyday contact, Florida county jails typically use vendor-managed systems for phone calls, remote video visits, and electronic messaging. The exact services, schedules, moderation rules, and payment methods vary by facility and vendor. Phone calls are often outgoing-only and may require setting up a prepaid account through the vendor. For non-emergency questions about having documents served, contact Union County's civil department or visit the courthouse civil office for local procedures.

Making a payment to Union County Jail's civil division? You can use cash, a check, or a money order. Service-of-process fees follow Florida Statute 30.231 and are non-refundable—double-check what you're paying for before you submit anything. For adding funds to an inmate account, common options include an online payment portal, a lobby kiosk, phone deposits, or mailing a money order. The exact methods depend on the facility and the vendor handling deposits. Before you send money, confirm the accepted vendor, step-by-step deposit instructions, and any fees. Include the inmate's name and booking number so the funds are credited correctly.

Trying to find someone at Union County Jail, FL? The FDLE offender search URL associated with the jail returned a 404 "Page Not Found," so that state-hosted lookup isn't accessible right now. Your best next step is to check local county jail rosters or other official search tools covering county, state, or federal custody. Searches work best when you use the person's last and first name and add a date of birth or booking number if you have it. Getting too many matches? Use booking-date ranges or other filters to narrow the list. Keep in mind that online rosters update quickly, may lag behind real-time changes, and aren't a substitute for official court records. Verify key details like DOB, charges, booking date, and bond status through official sources.
