How to Send Money to Volusia County Corr. Facility, FL (FL)

When someone is booked into Volusia County Corrections, any cash they have on them is collected and deposited into a personal inmate banking account. If you add money later, it’s this same inmate account that gets credited.

That account balance doesn't just sit there. Volusia County charges a one-time $30.00 booking fee per booking, plus a $5.00 per-day subsistence fee. Both are deducted automatically from the inmate's account. If the inmate is eligible and chooses to work while incarcerated, the daily subsistence fee is waived. Subsistence fees may also be refundable if the inmate is acquitted, but they have to request it.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Plan for deposits to go into the inmate’s personal banking account, since money collected at booking is deposited there.
• ✓ Expect a one-time $30.00 booking fee per booking to be deducted from the inmate account.
• ✓ Expect a $5.00 per-day subsistence fee to be deducted from the inmate account.
• ✓ If your loved one is eligible and chooses to work while incarcerated, ask about the waiver of the $5.00 per-day subsistence fee.
• ✓ If your loved one is acquitted, ask about how to request a refund of subsistence fees.

Before sending money, confirm the current fee amounts and how they're applied. The facility's published figures are a $30.00 booking fee (one-time per booking) and a $5.00 per-day subsistence fee, both deducted from the inmate account. Policies can change, and details like when deductions start or how they appear on the account will affect how much your loved one actually has available to spend.
