The facility is part of Florida’s state correctional system and is used for custody, supervision, work assignments, programs, and reentry-related services for eligible inmates.

Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Tomoka Correctional Institution
To find someone at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. State and county inmate search tools typically list identifying information, custody location, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, sentence details, and current custody status when available. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest, transfer, or intake. Processing can take several hours, and updates may depend on the agency entering the information. If the person was recently arrested in Volusia County, also check the county jail search because local detainees may be held there before any transfer to state custody.
FAQs
