Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center Releases

Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center Releases

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice facility entry identifies Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center as the current regional secure detention site serving Volusia, Flagler, St. Johns, and Putnam Counties. It is in Daytona Beach and belongs to the DJJ system. It is not one of the two adult facilities operated by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.

That agency line controls the release search. A youth leaving this center is not an adult county-jail release and should not be looked up through an SJSO booking report as though the Main Detention Unit held the person. The event may be release from secure detention, transfer to another juvenile placement, return under court direction, or another authorized change. The exact endpoint must come from the DJJ or court record available to the requester.

The word “released” must stay tied to the custodian. Leaving this facility does not by itself establish that all juvenile justice restrictions ended. Nor does it show that the youth returned to a particular home or county. The official release, transfer, placement, or court information must be read within the privacy limits that apply to that case.

Secure detention

Custody in a juvenile detention setting while the juvenile process is pending or as otherwise authorized.

Release

An authorized end to this facility's custody, which does not by itself describe every condition or next placement.

Transfer

A move to another lawful custodian or juvenile setting, not a return to the community.

Authorized party

A person or office permitted by law and the case circumstances to receive protected juvenile information.

Confirm Volusia Regional Juvenile Releases

A careful check begins by confirming that the youth was actually connected to this regional center. A St. Johns County case can be served in Daytona Beach, but the county connection alone does not prove placement. The research supplies no public historical roster for this facility. It also does not establish a public list of recent juvenile releases.

1. Start with the official DJJ facility entry and confirm that Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center is the relevant location.
2. Use the youth's full name and other lawful case details only through a channel that permits the requester to receive juvenile information.
3. Ask whether the available record reports release from this center, transfer to another setting, or continued custody elsewhere. Do not treat absence from a public result as release.
4. Use the responsible juvenile court process or authorized case contact to understand the court action tied to the custody change.
5. When Florida VINE returns a matching juvenile record, read it as a custody-status signal and then verify the event through DJJ or the authorized court channel.
6. Keep adult SJSO, FDC, BOP, and ICE searches separate unless a reliable record identifies a later adult, state, federal, or immigration custodian.

This order avoids a common mistake. A standard adult case search may expose records that are not the youth's juvenile file, and the St. Johns County jail roster does not cover this DJJ center. The St. Johns County custody-system search is useful only for understanding how adult county, state, federal, and immigration paths differ from the juvenile route.

Volusia Juvenile Release Records and Privacy

Florida Statutes section 985.04 makes juvenile record access fact-specific. It is inaccurate to claim that all juvenile records are public. It is also inaccurate to claim that every juvenile fact is confidential in every circumstance. The law contains rules and exceptions that can turn on the conduct, court handling, agency role, and identity of the person seeking access.

For Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center, this means a public adult-style release report cannot be promised. A parent, guardian, lawyer, court, agency, victim, or another authorized person may have a route that does not exist for an unrelated member of the public. The appropriate recipient should state the relationship to the case, use the DJJ or court process, and ask for the maintained release or transfer information that can lawfully be disclosed.

Some felony-equivalent or adult-transfer information may have different access treatment. That possibility does not support publishing a broad roster or guessing that a specific youth's file is open. The person handling the request should identify the legal basis for access and respect any restriction given by DJJ or the court. A protected record should not be reconstructed from stray copies or adult records with a similar name.

Note: Request the narrow custody fact needed and let DJJ or the court determine what section 985.04 permits in that case.

Volusia Juvenile VINE Release Checks

Official Florida program material says VINE coverage includes the Department of Juvenile Justice along with county jails and FDC state prisons. The online entry is Florida VINELink, and the statewide telephone number is 1-877-846-3435. That coverage supports a careful one-person check for a youth connected to Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center.

VINE remains a signal and alert system. Search the exact person, compare the named agency and any lawful identity details, then read the custody wording without adding a release reason. A “released” or “no longer in custody” result reports the state of the VINE record. It does not disclose every DJJ placement, court condition, transfer detail, or confidential fact.

A no-result can have several causes. The name may be entered differently, the record may not be public through that interface, an update may lag, or the youth may not be in the system searched. Contact the live-operator or outage line at 1-866-277-7477 when the service is unavailable, then use DJJ or the authorized court channel for confirmation.

Volusia Juvenile Release Facility Details

Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center is a regional secure facility, not a St. Johns County building. Its verified location is 3840 Old Deland Road, Daytona Beach, Florida. The facility serves youth from Volusia, Flagler, St. Johns, and Putnam Counties. A St. Johns case can therefore be associated with a center in another county without becoming an adult Volusia jail case.

The regional model also explains why a search should follow the responsible juvenile system rather than county branding alone. DJJ is the operator named by the official source. SJSO operates the adult Main Detention Unit and Community Work Release Center in St. Johns County. Those agencies maintain different custody records, and their public access rules are not interchangeable.

No phone number or public hours were supplied in the project research for this facility. The official DJJ entry should control current contact directions. Adult SJSO Records, Booking, and detention numbers should not be inserted into this juvenile contact card.

Closed St. Johns Juvenile Release Facility

The former St. Johns Regional Juvenile Detention Center is historical and closed. It must not be shown as a current holding facility or used as a release-search destination. The current regional facility identified by DJJ is Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Daytona Beach.

This distinction matters when older court papers, cached directories, or personal notes use the former name. An old facility reference does not establish present custody there. Confirm the time period, then use current DJJ information for a current placement or release question. Historical records should be sought through the responsible DJJ or court process with the access limits for the case.

Do not redirect an adult St. Johns County jail inquiry to either juvenile name. Adults arrested in St. Johns County are processed through the St. Johns County Main Detention Unit. The juvenile center serves a separate population under a different state agency and privacy framework.

Note: The old St. Johns juvenile facility name may appear in historical material, but it is not a current custody or release source.

Adult ICE Handoffs Are Separate

A historical 2019 St. Johns 287(g) Warrant Service Officer agreement shows how an adult release from SJSO criminal custody could coincide with a transfer to ICE. It discussed serving an immigration warrant at scheduled criminal release and an adult transfer framework of up to 48 hours. The document must remain labeled historical because the research did not verify the same terms in a current agreement.

That adult SJSO example is not evidence of procedure at Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center. It does not show that DJJ uses the same release process, timing, or transfer route. No juvenile facility fact should be inferred from the agreement. Its proper role is narrower: it illustrates why “released” always means released from a named custodian.

The current 287(g) program overview and ICE detainee locator belong to an adult immigration inquiry only when a reliable record identifies ICE involvement. ODLS focuses on current ICE or longer CBP custody and is not a public historical release database. It must not be used to route adult or immigration searches through this juvenile center.

Volusia Juvenile Release System Boundaries

Four custody systems must remain separate. DJJ handles this juvenile secure detention center. SJSO handles the adult St. Johns County jail. FDC holds and supervises people in the Florida state corrections system, while BOP and USMS cover different federal roles. ICE handles immigration custody. A record in one system does not automatically describe custody in another.

For this facility, the correct endpoint is a DJJ or authorized juvenile court response identifying release or transfer, with VINE used only as a supporting custody signal. If a lawful record names another custodian, follow that named agency. Do not start with FDC, BOP, or ICE merely because a name is absent from a juvenile search.

A complete verification records the facility name, the agency, the date or event wording that the official source lawfully provides, and whether the event was release or transfer. Avoid expanding the answer beyond what the source says. Juvenile privacy and safety require a precise, restrained result.
