Where to Post Bond and Important Release Rules at Volusia County (Branch Jail vs. Correctional Facility)
Posting bond is stressful—especially when you're racing against the clock. Here's where to go in Volusia County, how bond works, and the overnight release rule that could affect your pickup plans.
Need to post bond or attend a First Appearance hearing in Volusia County? Head to the Volusia County Branch Jail at 1300 Red John Road, Daytona Beach, FL 32120.
Call the Branch Jail at (386) 254-1555 before you head over. The Booking Office can answer bond questions and let you know what to expect when you arrive.
Where to go: To post bond or attend a First Appearance hearing, you must go to the Branch Jail - not the Volusia County Correctional Facility.
Good news: you're not limited to business hours. The Branch Jail Booking Office is open 24/7, so you can call or show up any time for bond-related information.
Anyone can post bond - you don't have to be a family member. Payment can be made in cash or through a bondsman. Not sure which option fits your situation? Call the Branch Jail first to clarify what you'll need to bring and what steps to take when you arrive.
Overnight release rule (effective April 29, 2024): Inmates will not be released between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM unless a responsible party is on site to transport the inmate and checks in with Control before release.
This rule catches families off guard because the Booking Office stays open 24/7. You can handle bond questions or paperwork late at night, but the actual release won't happen between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM unless someone is there to pick up the inmate. Want to avoid a long overnight wait? Plan ahead - know who can be on site and ready to transport, and factor that into when you post bond.
Practical Steps for Families
- ✓ Decide whether you’re posting bond with cash or using a bondsman
- ✓ Call the Branch Jail at (386) 254-1555 before you head over to confirm current procedures with the Booking Office
- Plan for the 10:00 PM–6:00 AM restriction - If release may happen overnight, arrange for a responsible party to be on site to transport the person being released and to check in with Control before release.
- Aim for daytime release when you can - If you have flexibility, try to time things so release is more likely to occur outside the overnight window.
- Confirm details with Booking - The Booking Office is open 24/7, so you can call to confirm what will happen when you arrive and reduce surprises.
Quick tip: Save the Branch Jail address (1300 Red John Road, Daytona Beach, FL 32120) and phone number ((386) 254-1555) in your phone before you leave - calling ahead can prevent a wasted trip.
