Look Up Baker County Inmate Records

Baker County Jail Roster Overview

The Baker County Sheriff's Office runs the jail roster for the Baker County Detention Center. Sheriff Scotty Rhoden leads the agency, and his office posts a live inmate list through its OCV app and an open data feed. The feed is free, and there is no login. You can reach it through the Baker County Sheriff's Office site, the agency app, or the raw Baker County inmate feed. Entries are sorted with the newest booking first. Each record carries a custody status, and current inmates show a status of IN. The roster is the fastest way to confirm that someone sits in Baker County jail custody today.

The county roster does not show every person in a cell. It does not list sentenced state prisoners, who move to the Florida Department of Corrections. It does not stand in for federal records held by the Bureau of Prisons or the U.S. Marshals. It also does not control the status of ICE detainees. The sheriff's office shares space with some of these other agencies, yet it does not hold their charges, court dates, or release dates. For those people you need a different locator, and each one appears further down this page.

How to Use the Baker County Inmate Roster

The roster lives in the sheriff's app and on the agency site, and the same data sits in the public feed. To start, you need little more than a last name. The app builds the list with a search box and a sort control, so you can hunt by name and reorder results by date. Walk through it step by step.

1. Open the Baker County Sheriff's Office app or site and tap the Inmate Search quick link, or open the inmate feed for the raw data.
2. Type the person's last name in the search box. The feed supports last name, first name, and the full name shown as "LAST, FIRST MIDDLE."
3. Scan the results, which list newest bookings first. Match the name, age, and booked date to the person you want.
4. Open the entry to read the record details and custody details, such as the inmate ID, height, weight, race, age, eye color, hair color, and the booked date.
5. If charges, bond, release date, or a court date are not shown, call the jail at 904-259-3311 or use the right outside locator below.

Baker County Roster Search Fields

The Baker County inmate search is built on an OCV feed list. It is not a long form with many boxes. Instead it gives you one search field and a sort control, and the underlying records carry name and ID values you can search against. The table below maps the controls the app exposes and the data each one matches. You can capture a source view of the feed itself, which is the same data the app reads, at the Baker County inmate feed. The screenshot below shows that Baker County inmate population data as it comes off the feed.

That source view confirms the fields a search can match, including the name title, first and last name, and the inmate ID. The app wraps the same data in a search box and a date sort.

What a Baker County Inmate Profile Shows

Each Baker County inmate record holds a core set of facts. The public entry leads with the name and an inmate ID, then a short physical description, then the booked date and custody status. Some fields that people expect, such as charges, bond, and a housing unit, are often not shown on the public Baker County feed. The data feed carries labels for charges and bond, yet the inspected public entries left those rows out. When that happens, the jail phone line fills the gap. The table below lists the fields a typical record shows and what each one tells you.

Date of birth, the arresting agency, and court dates are not in the public county view either. For booking photos and what is public, see the Baker County jail mugshots page. For charges that get filed in court, the clerk's records are the right source, not the jail roster.

County, State, and Federal Inmate Records

People mix up these custody types all the time. The Baker County jail roster covers folks held in local county custody, mostly pre-trial and short-sentence inmates. A pre-trial inmate is someone held before trial, often while bond is set or a case moves forward. Once a person is sentenced to state prison, the case leaves the county and moves to the Florida Department of Corrections. That person no longer shows on the county feed and instead appears in the state locator. Federal and immigration cases each have their own system. The four main paths sort out like this.

Pre-trial or short county sentence

Search the Baker County jail roster.

Sentenced state prisoner

Use the Florida Department of Corrections locator.

Federal sentenced prisoner

Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator.

Immigration hold

Use the ICE detainee locator.

The Baker County Detention Center is unusual for a small county. It holds local inmates, but it also houses U.S. Marshals inmates and ICE detainees in the same building. The sheriff is clear that it does not have current charges or court dates for people held for those agencies. For a U.S. Marshals inmate, the Baker FAQ gives a direct line at 904-301-6670. For an ICE detainee, use the ICE detainee locator or call the Jacksonville ICE office at 904-288-4600. ICE bond questions also go to that Jacksonville number. The screenshot below shows the federal locator that covers sentenced federal prisoners, which the county roster never lists.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is the search for people in federal prison custody. The image gives a quick look at that federal tool.

It returns federal prisoner data, which is separate from both the Baker County jail roster and the state corrections system. A detainer is a hold one agency places to keep a person after another agency would release them, and these holds are common in a mixed facility like Baker.

More Ways to Find a Baker County Inmate

The online roster is the first stop, but it is not the only one. The sheriff's office gives several other channels, and each fits a different need. Use the phone line when the roster hides charges. Use a records request for older bookings or a copy of a report. Use VINELink when you want an alert if custody changes. Each path below is an official Baker County or state route.

• Jail phone line. Call 904-259-3311 to learn if someone is in jail and what they are charged with. This is the line the FAQ points to for charges, county release dates, and medical questions.
• In person. Visit the sheriff and detention lobby at 1 Sheriff's Office Drive, Macclenny, FL 32063. Public office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Detention itself runs around the clock.
• Public records request. Use the sheriff's online request form. It asks for the information requested, an optional name, and a contact email, so describe the booking record clearly.
• Weekly arrest reports. The sheriff posts a feed of redacted arrest report PDFs, useful for a recent arrest that may not still show in custody.
• VINELink. The Baker feed carries VINE identifiers, so you can register for custody and release alerts through VINELink at the FLSWVINE and FLBAKERSO codes.
• Sheriff app. The agency app on the Apple and Google stores lists Inmate Search as a quick link, and the FAQ names the app as its main lookup path.

The weekly arrest reports feed links each redacted PDF by name and report. For court dates, the sheriff sends people to the Baker County Clerk and the state court search, since the jail roster does not carry a court date. You can confirm the app and its store links on the official Baker County Sheriff's Office app page. That page covers the Apple ID and Google Play listing for the same Inmate Search tool. VINELink stays free at vinelink.vineapps.com.

Note: Court dates and filed charges come from the Baker County Clerk and the state court records search, not from the sheriff's jail roster or phone line.

Baker County Detention Facilities

Baker County has one sheriff-run jail and several state prison sites. The Baker County Detention Center is the local jail, and it is the facility the county inmate roster covers. The state prisons in Sanderson, the Baker Correctional Institution, the Baker Work Camp, and the Baker Re-Entry Center, hold sentenced state prisoners and use the Florida Department of Corrections locator instead. The card below gives the main jail and the state facility cluster.

The detention center holds Baker County pre-trial and sentenced county inmates, U.S. Marshals inmates, and ICE detainees. Its capacity is listed as 512 beds on the ICE detention facility listing, with the note that the sheriff site did not publish a separate rated figure. The state sites in Sanderson, including the work camp and re-entry center, sit on the same highway corridor and are run by the state, not the sheriff.

Booking and Intake in Baker County

Booking is the jail intake event after an arrest. The arresting agency brings the person to the Baker County Detention Center, where staff start or update a record and assign an inmate ID. The public roster then shows the booked date and time, a short physical description, and a custody status of IN. The sample entries inspected on June 3, 2026 ranged across recent days, newest first, so the roster is a good gauge of recent booking timing.

Intake also covers screening and classification. Baker provides 24-hour onsite medical staff for medical, emergency dental, and mental health care, so a health screen is part of the process. Classification sorts inmates by custody level, which controls housing and program access. The GED page, for example, lets low and medium custody inmates apply while it bars maximum custody. Official Baker materials do not state how fast a new booking posts online or how long a released person stays listed, so those exact timings are not claimed here.

Note: First appearance and bond are set by the court, not the jail, and the bond amount may not appear in the public roster record.

Baker County Jail Visitation

Baker County does not offer in-person family visits. The Corrections FAQ states that the detention center has video visits only for family and friends, handled through HomeWAV. Video visits run seven days a week, and the specific time windows are scheduled inside the HomeWAV app rather than posted as fixed hours. The schedule table reflects that video-only setup by day. The lead-in below points to the HomeWAV service the county uses.

Family and friend visits go through HomeWAV, and account holders set up and book sessions there. The image shows the HomeWAV service that Baker County uses for video visitation.

After you confirm a visit on HomeWAV, you join at the scheduled time from a phone or computer. Attorney legal calls follow a separate track and are scheduled in advance.

How to Contact a Baker County Inmate

There are a few set ways to reach a person in the Baker County jail. Video visits and phone communication run through HomeWAV. Legal mail and legal calls follow stricter rules for attorneys. Regular property cannot be dropped off, since the sheriff's office does not accept outside property for inmates. The contact card below covers the main jail and the lines that matter most.

Attorneys schedule a legal call by emailing legalcall@bakerso.com or by calling 904-259-3311 and asking for the Programs Department. The system allows calls up to 20 minutes, and a client may call right back if needed. Legal mail must be prenotified to legalmail@bakerso.com, sent to the P.O. Box, and marked LEGAL MAIL with the law office and lawyer name. Legal mail is opened only for inspection in the inmate's presence.

Commissary and Inmate Funds

Baker County gives several ways to put money on an inmate account or pay for communication. Phone and communication funds run through HomeWAV, and HomeWAV support is reachable at 1-844-394-6639. Commissary deposits go through AccessCorrections online. You can also drop a money order made out to the inmate at the detention lobby, or use the lobby cash kiosk. The list below sorts the options.

• Phone and communication. Fund accounts through HomeWAV; support is 1-844-394-6639.
• Commissary online. Deposit through AccessCorrections.
• Lobby money order. Make it out to the inmate or detainee and drop it at the detention lobby.
• Lobby cash kiosk. The lobby kiosk accepts cash deposits.
