Volusia County FL Correctional Facility – FAQ

A person arrested remains in custody until he/she posts a bond or is released by a judge. Within one day of jail admission, the individual will appear before a judge for a First Appearance hearing. This hearing determines if there is probable cause to continue detention. The judge may raise the bond, lower the bond, or release the person on their own recognizance. The judge also will appoint a public defender if a person cannot afford an attorney. The courtroom for First Appearance hearings is at the Volusia County Branch Jail, 1300 Red John Road, Daytona Beach. Hearings are scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:30 a.m. weekends and holidays. Anyone may attend the hearing. After the first court appearance, an inmate is sent from the intake housing unit to Case Management orientation. A Case Counselor interviews and classifies each inmate based on charges, criminal history, and other factors. Once classified, security staff assigns each inmate to a housing unit that fits a person' s classification. An inmate's classification is not permanent and may change during the jail stay, depending on behavior or charges. Each unit has a Case Counselor. If an inmate needs the counselor's assistance, he can speak or write to the counselor at any time during his jail stay.

After First Appearance. it typically takes one to two days for the clerk to process future court dates. For inmate court date information, please visit the Clerk of the Court’s website at http://www.clerk.org. The court proceeding known as Arraignment follows First Appearance. As a rule of thumb, Arraignment occurs three to five weeks after First Appearance.
