Jail Management System (JMS)

The Volusia County Division of Corrections (VCDC) is in need of a comprehensive Jail Management System (JMS) with a Mobile Enablement (security rounds, inmate head counts, tracking of receivables, etc.) that will serve as a data entry and access point for jail users for all information related to inmates pertinent to the management of the VCDC. The VCDC is unique from most other jails in the State of Florida, as it is a stand-alone county division, and is not managed by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office (VSO). This distinction is important with regard to the JMS that is used, as it must interface with a number of outside agencies in order to properly manage inmate data.

A staff of approximately 320 correctional officers and administrative support personnel supervised and managed an inmate population that averaged 1,345 inmates per day in 2024. There are 20 officer stations (mostly with two (2) computer workstations) and 122 other computer workstations that will need access to the JMS. The network lines and equipment are in place. Each station has been issued an IP address by DHCP. The administrative services for the VCDC are provided by the Corrections Director, who is responsible to the County Manager and ultimately to the Volusia County Council.

The Contractor shall provide a modular and expandable turnkey Jail Management System to collect and house all data related to inmate custody at the Volusia County Division of Corrections (hereinafter “System”). The System shall have the ability to integrate future components of the System, as deemed necessary by the County and interface with existing external applications.

The implementation of this system may be a very tight timeline as the contract is currently set to end as of May 25th, 2026. Although efforts are being made to extend this date, anyone bidding on this contract will need to be prepared to be able to deliver the JMS system by this date.
