Coral Springs City Florida released inmates are managed through the Broward County jail system, not by the city itself. The city of Coral Springs has a population near 141,000 people and sits in the northern part of Broward County, Florida.
When the Coral Springs Police Department arrests someone, that person is taken to a Broward County jail facility run by the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO). All inmate bookings, court transfers, and releases for the city get processed through the BSO system. Public records of people who got released from a Coral Springs arrest live in the BSO arrest search database. State prison records for Coral Springs cases live in the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC) offender database. This page explains both systems, the data fields each one shows, and how to get old records.
How Coral Springs Handles Arrests and Releases
Coral Springs does not run its own jail. Every person arrested inside the city limits gets booked into a Broward County facility. The BSO runs four main detention centers that serve all of Broward County. After arrest, the person stays at the county jail until release, sentencing, or transfer to state custody. Released inmate records for the city come from the BSO arrest search. State prison release records come from the FDOC public offender search.
Booking Through the BSO System
When someone gets arrested in Coral Springs, the arresting officer takes the person to the BSO booking desk. The booking officer collects the person’s full name, date of birth, physical description, charges, and bond amount. The booking number links the arrest to all later events, including release. Most bookings happen at the Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale. Some arrests get processed at the North Broward Bureau or the Paul Rein facility in Pompano Beach.
Release From County Custody
A person may leave the Broward County jail for several reasons. Common reasons include posting bond, time served, court order, transfer to state prison, or release to another agency. The BSO release log updates once per day and lists every person who left county jail within the past 24 hours. The release date and time appear in the arrest search record after the person is processed out.
Transfer to State Prison
People sentenced to more than 12 months in Florida leave the county jail for state prison. The Florida Department of Corrections takes custody after the court signs the commitment order. The inmate moves from BSO custody into the FDOC inmate database. Search the FDOC offender system by name or Department of Corrections (DC) number to track state prison inmates and releases for Coral Springs arrests.
The Broward County Arrest Search Tool
The BSO arrest search is the main public tool for current and recent releases from Coral Springs. The tool shows anyone booked into a Broward County jail, including people arrested in Coral Springs. Records show booking date, charges, bond, custody status, and release date. The tool is free to use and requires no account.
Steps for Running a Name Search
Go to the BSO arrest search page at sheriff.org/DOD/PAGES/ARRESTSEARCH.ASPX. Type the person’s last name in the first box. Type the first name in the second box. Click Search. A list of matching inmates appears. Click the booking number link to see full record details. Each result card shows the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond, and current status. If the person got released, the record shows the release date and time.
Daily Release Log for Coral Springs Cases
The BSO release log at releaselog.sheriff.org updates every morning. It lists the booking number, last name, and first name of every person who left a Broward County jail in the past 24 hours. The log does not show charges or arrest city. To confirm a Coral Springs arrest, cross-check the booking number in the main arrest search. The release log helps family members wait for the release day without calling the jail.
Search Limits and Record Aging
The BSO arrest search keeps recent records visible for several weeks. Older release records drop out of the active search results. Records older than 90 days may no longer appear online. For records past that window, use a public records request or call the jail records office. The state FDOC database keeps records for current and released inmates for many years.
Florida Department of Corrections Inmate Search
The Florida Department of Corrections runs the state prison system. Every inmate sentenced to state prison time enters the FDOC database. The database shows current inmates, release dates, and people who already served their time. Coral Springs arrest cases that ended in a prison sentence appear in this system after the transfer date.
Searching by Name or DC Number
Go to pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com/OffenderSearch to use the FDOC offender search. Type the last name, first name, and middle name if known. Or type the DC number if you have it. The system returns a list of matching offenders. Click a name to see facility location, sentence length, release date, and release status. People released from state prison after serving a Coral Springs sentence show up with a release date and no current facility.
What State Records Include
FDOC records show the inmate’s full name, DC number, current location or release status, sentence date, county of commitment, offense list, and projected release date. The projected release date is the earliest possible date the inmate can leave prison. Actual release dates depend on gain time and statutory credits. People who already left state prison show a release date and no active facility.
Time Frames for FDOC Updates
New transfers from county jail to state prison appear in the FDOC system within 24 to 48 hours of the transfer date. Releases from state prison update the same day the person leaves the facility. Release dates shown on the FDOC site match the date the inmate physically left the prison. The database covers all active and historical state inmates in Florida.
What Coral Springs Released Inmate Records Show
Released inmate records from the BSO system include personal details, arrest facts, court status, and release data. The fields shown depend on the booking type and the agency involved. Most records show the same core fields, with some extras based on the case.
Personal Details on the Record
Personal fields include full name, date of birth, race, sex, height, weight, and eye color. The booking number appears at the top of each record. Some records include a mugshot taken at booking. The home address does not appear in the public record. Phone numbers and Social Security numbers stay sealed.
Arrest and Booking Details
Arrest fields include the arresting agency, arrest date, booking date, booking location, and arresting officer’s name. Charge fields list each charge with a Florida Statute number, charge description, and bond amount. The court case number appears if the case moved to court. Court outcome does not appear in the arrest search result. For court outcome, check the Broward County Clerk of Courts records.
Release Information
Release fields show the release date, release time, and release reason. Common release reasons include bond posted, time served, released to another agency, transferred to state prison, and released by court order. The release date shows the day the person physically left the jail. Records for active inmates show no release date. Active inmates show “In Custody” as the status.
Older Records and Public Records Requests
Old release records for Coral Springs arrests may not show in the online arrest search after 90 days. The FDOC system keeps records for many years but covers only state prison cases. For old county jail records, use a public records request. The BSO Records and Warrants Division handles requests for closed booking files.
How to File a Public Records Request
Send a written request to the BSO Records and Warrants Division at 2601 W Broward Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312. The request should list the inmate’s full name, date of birth, booking date if known, and a list of the records needed. Records include arrest reports, probable cause affidavits, booking forms, and release logs. The division charges a fee for copies and for research time. Most requests take 5 to 10 business days to process.
Florida Public Records Act Rules
The Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119, Florida Statutes) makes most arrest and inmate records public. Some records stay sealed under Florida law. Sealed or expunged records do not appear in any search. Juvenile records stay confidential. Medical and mental health records stay private. Active investigations may have limited records until the case closes.
Court Records for Final Case Outcomes
The arrest search shows charges filed at booking. The court outcome shows up in the Broward County Clerk of Courts system. Go to the clerk’s official records search at browardclerk.org to look up the case number from the booking record. The clerk’s site shows case status, plea, sentence, and final disposition. The clerk’s site covers all Broward County cases, including Coral Springs arrests.
State Prison Versus County Jail Releases
Many Coral Springs arrest cases stay at the county jail level. Other cases move to state prison after sentencing. The two systems use different databases and different release rules. Knowing which system covers the case helps you pick the right search tool.
County Jail Release Process
The county jail holds people arrested for misdemeanor crimes, most felony arrests before trial, and people serving sentences under 12 months. Release happens for several reasons: bond posted by a bondsman, time served, pretrial release by the court, or transfer to state prison after sentencing. Most county jail releases happen within hours or days of the release order.
State Prison Release Process
State prison holds people sentenced to 12 months or more in a Florida prison. Release happens at the end of the sentence, minus any gain time or credits. The FDOC system shows the projected release date and the actual release date. After release, the person enters the Florida Parole Commission system if the sentence included parole supervision.
Locating Parole Records After Prison
Florida Parole Commission records cover people released from state prison on parole. The parole record shows supervision start date, supervision officer, and parole status. The parole record does not show up in the BSO arrest search. For parole status, contact the Florida Parole Commission directly or use the FDOC offender search, which links to parole supervision status.
Broward County Jail Facilities for Coral Springs Cases
Coral Springs arrestees can land at any of four Broward County jail facilities. The booking officer picks the facility based on charges, medical needs, and bed space. The arrest search shows the booking location. The release log does not show the release facility. Knowing the facility helps with visit scheduling and mail delivery.

Visiting an Inmate at BSO Facilities
Visits happen by video at all BSO facilities. Family members can visit from home using a computer or phone, or use an on-site kiosk at the jail. On-site visits are free. Remote video visits carry a small fee per session. Set up an account through the BSO-approved vendor linked on the sheriff’s site. Schedule visits up to seven days in advance. Each session runs a fixed number of minutes based on the inmate’s custody level.
Sending Mail and Money to Inmates
Mail goes to the inmate at the facility where the person stays. Mail addresses follow the format: Inmate Name, Booking Number, Facility Name, Facility Address, City, State, ZIP. Use plain white envelopes only. No cash, checks, or gifts. The jail scans all mail before delivery, which may cause short delays. The BSO uses a third-party vendor for inmate account deposits. The deposit link appears on the sheriff’s site under inmate services.
Frequently Asked Questions
This section answers common questions about Coral Springs released inmate searches, public records, state prison transfers, court records, and notifications. Each answer reflects current 2026 rules for Florida public records and inmate search tools. Use the BSO arrest search for recent county releases. Use the FDOC offender search for state prison releases and current state inmates.
How do I search for a released inmate from Coral Springs?
Go to the BSO arrest search at sheriff.org/DOD/PAGES/ARRESTSEARCH.ASPX. Type the person’s last name and first name. The system shows all matching records booked into a Broward County jail. Click the booking number to see the full record. The release date appears under the custody status field if the person has been released. The release log at releaselog.sheriff.org lists everyone who left the county jail in the past 24 hours. State prison releases for the same case appear in the FDOC offender search at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com/OffenderSearch. The two systems do not share data, so check both for a full picture of the case history.
Are Coral Springs released inmate records free to look up?
Yes. The BSO arrest search and the release log are free public tools. No account, login, or payment is needed. Anyone with the inmate’s full name can run the search at any time. The FDOC offender search is also free. The BSO charges fees only for certified copies of arrest reports or full booking files requested through the public records process. The fees cover copy costs and research time. The state FDOC charges no fee for online searches.
What if the released inmate record is more than 90 days old?
Old records may drop out of the BSO online arrest search. For records older than 90 days, file a public records request with the BSO Records and Warrants Division. The request needs the inmate’s full name, date of birth, and approximate booking date. The records division charges a small fee for copies. Old court case outcomes appear in the Broward County Clerk of Courts records search. State prison records stay online for many years through the FDOC database, even for old cases.
Can I get a notification when a specific inmate gets released?
The BSO does not offer a release notification service for county jail inmates. Family members must check the arrest search or the release log manually. The Florida Department of Corrections does not offer a public notification service either. The Florida Crime Information Center (FCIC) runs a victim notification service through FDLE for victims of crime. Private third-party services also offer inmate alerts, but they charge a fee. The free option is to check the daily release log each morning.
Does a Coral Springs arrest show up in a Florida background check?
Yes. A Florida background check pulls from the BSO arrest search, the FDOC offender database, the court clerk’s records, and the FCIC state criminal history system. A background check covers arrests, charges, dispositions, and release data. Sealed or expunged records do not appear in any background check, even official ones. State law controls which records get sealed and which records stay public for the full background screening.
Is there a difference between released and discharged?
Yes. Released means the person left custody by bond, time served, court order, or transfer. Discharged typically means the person’s sentence or obligation to the facility ended. County jail records use “Released.” State prison records use “Released” with a release date. Some local case management systems use other words, but BSO and FDOC use “Released” as the standard term in the public databases.
