Hernando County, Florida Inmate Search
A Hernando County inmate search is the use of an inmate search tool to look up individuals currently or previously taken into custody at the Hernando County Detention Center.

Individuals sentenced at the state level are housed in the Hernando Correctional Institution, a Florida Department of Corrections facility that has its own offender search tool.

The Brooksville Police Department, however, does not maintain a separate jail roster from the county’s official jail roster. All arrests are still booked into the Hernando County Detention Center and searchable using the Hernando County inmate search.
