Florida Inmate Search

Florida
Updated on: February 2, 2024

Knowing how to search for inmates in Florida can help if you are looking for someone who has been taken into custody, or if you want to know more about an incarcerated individual. There are several ways to conduct an inmate search in Florida, such as using the Department of Corrections website or using a third-party vendor like Vinelink.  

The first step is to visit the Florida Department of Corrections website and navigate to the Inmate Search page. On this page, you will find an online form where you can enter information about the person you are searching for, including their full name or DC Number. Once you have provided all necessary information and clicked submit, a list of inmates matching your criteria will be displayed on the screen.  

If the inmate you are searching for does not appear on this list, it could be because they have been released from prison or transferred to another facility within the state. In these cases, you may need to use Inmate Release Information Search on the Florida Department of Corrections website. 

You can also use a third-party vendor like Vinelink that provides comprehensive coverage of inmates within all county jails and state prisons across Florida. By visiting Vinelink's website, you can select "Florida" as your location and then search for an inmate by name or with other details, depending on what you have available. If results match with your query, Vinelink will provide additional information about the inmate, including their age, date of birth, criminal charges pending or already adjudicated against them, and other relevant data points.
