V OLUSI A COUNTY DIVISION OF CORRE CTIONSP AG E 3There are two facilities under the <strong>Corrections</strong> Divisionjurisdiction. Both are off U.S. 92, west of DaytonaBeach and east of DeLand.The <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> Correctional Facility (VCCF) openedin November 1977. The <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> Branch Jail(VCBJ) was completed in late 1986 and becameoperational in 1987. The Correctional Facility and theBranch Jail are designed to hold fewer inmates thanthey currently confine.The initial design capacity of the VCBJ is 601; it’sauthorized capacity is 899. The <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong>Correctional Facility has an original design capacity ofCorrectional facilities234. Presently, the authorized capacity is 595. Theauthorized capacity for both facilities is 1,494.The <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> Division of <strong>Corrections</strong> is a <strong>Volusia</strong><strong>County</strong> correctional agency, supported by local propertytax dollars. <strong>Volusia</strong>’s jails are inspected annually bycertified county jail inspectors from other county jails inaccordance with the Florida Model Jail Standards. Theannual inspection includes a population status report; areview of admission, classification, and release policies;an inspection of housing and food service areas, securityand control, and sanitation. <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s correctionalfacilities were recently certified to be in compliance withthe Florida Model Jail Standards on June 3, 2011.<strong>Corrections</strong>’ data is compiled from a number of sources.Most commonly, staff track daily bookings andadmissions.A booking is considered a jail entry.Another way to look at bookings is toconsider that each booking denotes theentry of a person into custody. The averagedaily population figure is generated fromdaily housing rosters. Average dailypopulation refers to how many beds areoccupied each day.<strong>Corrections</strong> also records inmate charges.Inmates are commonly booked for more than onecharge during the same booking. Many inmatesreceived added charges while incarcerated.These typically include arrests for bond surrenders and/oroutstanding warrants. Charges are tracked using thestate’s AON/FCIC (Florida Crime Information Center)coding system.The majority of data, including bookings and charges,comes from the <strong>County</strong>’s Criminal Justice Information<strong>Corrections</strong> data2011 ANNUAL REPORTSystem (CJIS) and the Jail Management System(JMS).The CJIS system is a case-tracking system; itoriginates with the court system and is used by allcriminal justice agencies. JMS software isfor jail use only. Transitioning to JMS datamay cause some 2010 to be incomparableto data collected prior to 2009.Most of the comparative data in this reportis from Jail Inmates at Midyear 2011compiled and published by the U. S.Bureau of Justice Statistics, and theFlorida <strong>County</strong> Detention Facilities’Average Inmate Population, 2011compiled and published by the FloridaState Department of <strong>Corrections</strong>.Published reports usually lag a year or two(sometimes longer) behind current information. It isthe most current published information available forthis report.

P AG E 6V OLUSI A COUNTY DIVISION OF CORRE CTIONS<strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> Jail’s inmate population (ADP)The average daily population(ADP) in 2011 was 1,400. Thisrepresented a increase of 2.3percent. The increase is due, inpart, because the ADP has been indecline for several years. In 2011, theADP made a “correction” to typicalhistorical levels. However, recent trendsshow that the <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> jail ADPhas decreased, on the average, 1.9percent annually since 2006.

P AG E 8V OLUSI A COUNTY DIVISION OF CORRE CTIONSJail capacity and constructionThe estimated rated capacityfor all jail jurisdictions atmidyear 2010 reached866,974 beds, an increase of2.0% (17,079 beds) frommidyear 2009. This was lessthan the average annualincrease each year since2000 (2.5% or 22,281 beds).Rated capacity is themaximum number of beds orinmates allocated to each jailfacility by a state or local rating official. The percentage ofcapacity occupied at midyear 2010 (86.4%) was the lowestsince 1984. Overall, the nation’s jails were operating at about86% of rated capacity on an average day and about 91% ofrated capacity on their most crowded day in June 2010.Source: Prison and Jail Inmates at Midyear 2010 Bureau ofJustice Statistics)In comparison, <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> operated at 91.6 percent of itsauthorized design capacity in 2010, which represented adecrease of more than 10 percent from 2007 when it operatedat 102 percent capacity. <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> has not added a newfacility or performed any major renovations since theconstruction of the <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> Branch Jail in 1987. The<strong>Corrections</strong> Division continues to work with criminal justiceagencies, the <strong>Volusia</strong> <strong>County</strong> Council, the judiciary, lawenforcement, state attorney, public defender and defenseattorneys to manage the inmate population.This collaborative effort, known as the Public SafetyCoordinating Council, makes policy which expedites caseprocessing, releases and/or diverts nonviolent offenders tocommunity-based programs. These efforts help control thedaily inmate population. However, urbanization, economicconditions, tougher sentencing, and vigorous law enforcementeffort will affect the ability to control future inmate growth andwill present major challenges in the coming years.6021,3841,575Figure 8.
