Search NRVRJ Inmates, Booking Records and Custody Status
If you are looking for New River Valley Regional Jail mugshots, an inmate, booking information or current custody status, start with the inmate lookup linked by the New River Valley Regional Jail rather than a copied arrest-photo website.
Records Search
Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property
NRVRJ is a regional jail at 108 Baker Road in Dublin, Virginia. Because it serves multiple localities, the jail record and the later criminal court case may be maintained by different government systems.
Use the inmate lookup linked from NRVRJ’s official website when your first question is whether someone is currently held at the regional jail. The jail’s website has a dedicated “Lookup” link to its inmate-search system.
If the direct lookup does not load, return to the NRVRJ official website and select Lookup from the Inmates menu. For custody-change notifications, NRVRJ also links to VINELink.
Which Record Should You Use?
A search for “NRVRJ mugshots” can mean several different things. First decide whether you need current custody, a booking entry, an arresting-agency report or the later court case.
Is the person at NRVRJ now?
Start with the inmate lookup linked by the regional jail. This is the correct first source for a person believed to be in NRVRJ custody.
Open inmate lookup →Was the person booked into the jail?
Use the jail’s inmate record when available. Booking information can help connect a person to a custody event, but it should not be interpreted as a final criminal disposition.
Do you need the underlying arrest report?
Identify the agency connected with the arrest. NRVRJ is the detention facility; the arresting sheriff, police department or other agency may hold the incident or arrest report.
What happened after the booking?
Use Virginia’s court system. Because NRVRJ serves several localities, select the court connected with the charge rather than assuming every inmate has a case in Pulaski County.
Virginia OCIS 2.0 →Do you want to know if custody changes?
Virginia VINE supports offender custody information and notifications for local and regional jails. NRVRJ links to VINELink from its official resources page.
Open VINELink →Not sure what type of record you need?

How to Search the New River Valley Regional Jail Inmate System
The current NRVRJ website places its inmate lookup in the Inmates section and also links it from the site’s resources page. The lookup is hosted separately from the main NRVRJ website, so the search interface can open on a different NRVRJ subdomain.
Start from NRVRJ’s official website
Open the official jail website and select Inmates → Lookup. Starting from the agency’s own website reduces the chance of landing on an advertisement or copied mugshot directory.
Search the person’s identifying information
Use the name or other identifier fields displayed by the current lookup. Check spelling carefully, especially for hyphenated names, middle names and suffixes.
Compare more than the name
If several records are returned, use the available identifiers, booking information, locality, date or other official fields before deciding that a result belongs to the person you are researching.
Check custody and booking information
Read the record as a jail record. A charge shown at booking may change later and a person who was released may no longer appear in the same way as someone who remains in custody.
Follow the case to the correct Virginia court
If you need filed charges, hearings or disposition information, search Virginia Judiciary OCIS 2.0 and identify the court associated with the locality and case.
Does the NRVRJ Inmate Lookup Show Mugshots?
The jail provides a public inmate lookup, but its main public-resource pages do not promise that every inmate record will always include a publicly viewable booking photograph. Photo availability can depend on the current lookup, the particular record and facility policy.
If a booking image appears, treat it as one part of the jail intake record. A photograph does not establish guilt, a conviction, the final charge or the final outcome of the case.
| Record element | Useful for | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate name | Finding a possible custody record. | A matching name alone proves identity. |
| Booking or inmate identifier | Distinguishing a particular jail record. | It is the same as a Virginia court case number. |
| Booking date | Understanding when the jail processed the person. | It necessarily matches the exact time of the incident. |
| Charge information | Understanding allegations associated with custody. | It is the final charge or a conviction. |
| Bond information | Understanding a release condition when published. | The amount cannot change after court review. |
| Booking photograph | Identifying the photo associated with intake when displayed. | The photograph proves guilt or current custody. |
NRVRJ Serves More Than One Virginia Locality
This is one of the most important differences between NRVRJ and a typical single-county jail. The current NRVRJ links page provides member/locality links for the following New River Valley and Southwest Virginia jurisdictions:
- Bland County
- Carroll County
- Floyd County
- Giles County
- Grayson County
- Pulaski County
- City of Radford
- Wythe County
The City of Radford’s government website likewise describes the regional jail as serving Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Pulaski and Wythe counties and the City of Radford.
What about Blacksburg, Christiansburg or Montgomery County?
Do not assume every arrest in the broader New River Valley goes to NRVRJ. Virginia’s jail directory separately lists the Montgomery County Jail in Christiansburg. If an arrest occurred in Montgomery County, verify the actual holding facility before searching NRVRJ.
New River Valley Regional Jail Address and Contact
The physical jail is in Dublin, Virginia. The jail’s administrative mailing address is different from the physical street address, and personal inmate mail now uses a separate mail-processing address in Maryland.

What to Do When an Inmate Does Not Appear
A failed search is a reason to verify further, not a reliable conclusion by itself. Regional-jail custody can change quickly after booking, bond, release, transfer or court action.
| Problem | Possible explanation | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| No result shortly after an arrest | Booking or data processing may not yet be reflected in the public lookup. | Check again and contact NRVRJ if custody status is urgent. |
| Name search returns nothing | The spelling, suffix or name used during booking may differ from the search entered. | Recheck the spelling and use an identifier if the lookup provides that option. |
| Person appeared earlier but no longer does | The person may have been released, transferred or moved into another custody system. | Search the court record and use VINE or the appropriate corrections system. |
| Arrest happened in the region but not at NRVRJ | Another jail may be responsible for that locality or arrest. | Verify the arresting jurisdiction and holding facility. |
| No booking photo appears | Public image availability varies by record and facility practice. | Use the available custody data and contact the responsible record custodian if a record is needed. |
| Need the final case result | The jail system is not the final court record. | Use Virginia Judiciary OCIS 2.0 and the appropriate clerk’s office. |
Search the Correct Virginia Court for the Criminal Case
The Virginia Judiciary operates Online Case Information System 2.0 (OCIS 2.0). The system provides statewide searching of criminal and traffic case information in general district courts and participating circuit courts.
Because NRVRJ holds people from multiple localities, first identify the jurisdiction connected with the charge. A person housed at the Dublin facility may have a case in Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Pulaski, Radford, Wythe or another court depending on the circumstances.
Identify the locality tied to the case
Use the jail entry, arresting agency or other official information to determine where the charge was filed or is expected to be filed.
Open Virginia Judiciary OCIS 2.0
Use the statewide search to locate available criminal or traffic case information.
Compare the person and case carefully
Do not rely on a name match alone when several people have similar names. Compare the court, case number and other public identifiers.
Contact the clerk when an official record is required
Virginia’s online system warns that its information depends on data entered by the respective court clerks. Verify important dates, filings and official copies with the appropriate clerk.
Bond and Bail at New River Valley Regional Jail
NRVRJ explains that a defendant brought before a magistrate can receive one of four general bail outcomes: personal recognizance, unsecured bond, secured bond or a finding that the person is ineligible for bail.
Personal Recognizance
The defendant provides a written promise to appear and follow the conditions set by the magistrate. NRVRJ explains that no monetary pledge, property security or professional bondsman is required for this type.
Unsecured Bond
Release is based on the defendant’s agreement to appear and follow conditions, backed by an agreement to forfeit money if the defendant fails to appear.
Secured Bond
Security may involve a cash deposit, property or a compensated or non-compensated surety. The security may be forfeited if the defendant fails to appear as required.
Ineligible for Bail
The defendant is not released pending court appearance. NRVRJ says a magistrate’s bail decision may be appealed to a judge.
NRVRJ also states that after a person has been committed to jail, a judge—not the magistrate—is the person who can lower the bond or arrange a recognizance bond.
If an inmate cannot post a cash or property bond, NRVRJ says a professional bondsman may be used. Jail personnel cannot recommend which bonding company to choose.
NRVRJ Family and Friends Video Visitation
NRVRJ currently encourages contact with family and friends through tablet video visitation. Visitors must establish an account through GettingOut. After the visitor account is set up, the inmate initiates the visit; the jail says advance scheduling is not required for these tablet visits.
| Visit type | Current published time | Key requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Family / friends tablet video | Sunday–Saturday, 8:00–11:00 a.m., 12:00–3:00 p.m., and 6:00–10:00 p.m. | Visitor GettingOut account; inmate initiates the visit. |
| Clergy tablet visitation | Sunday–Saturday during the same published tablet visitation windows. | Online account setup is required. |
| Attorney visit | Monday–Friday beginning at 7:00 a.m. and completed by 3:00 p.m., subject to meals, lockdowns and security needs. | NRVRJ asks attorneys to fax notice 24 hours in advance. |
NRVRJ lists 540-643-2010 as the fax number for attorney visit notices and says attorney visits are not conducted on weekends or holidays.
Where to Send Personal Mail to an NRVRJ Inmate
NRVRJ currently directs personal inmate mail to a mail-processing address in Phoenix, Maryland. This is different from the jail’s physical address and its Dublin administrative P.O. Box.
Inmate’s full name and inmate identifier
P.O. Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
The jail says the envelope must include the full facility name and state, the inmate’s full name and identifier, and the sender’s full name and physical return address clearly written in the upper-left corner.
Personal letters sent through the mail-processing system are scanned for electronic delivery. If you are unsure about the current format, check the jail’s mail page before sending anything.
Open official NRVRJ mail instructions →Adding Money and Calling an NRVRJ Inmate
Inmate accounts
NRVRJ says cash and other qualifying funds in an inmate’s possession during booking are placed in an account that can be used for commissary purchases or institutional debts.
Friends and family can use several methods described by the jail:
- Online: ConnectNetwork for supported account and AdvancePay services.
- Facility kiosk: the jail says its deposit kiosk accepts specified cash denominations for commissary deposits.
- Telephone: AdvancePay telephone deposits are available at 800-483-8314.
- Mail: money orders must follow NRVRJ’s current payee and inmate-identification instructions.
The jail notes that transaction fees may apply to deposits.
Inmate telephone hours
NRVRJ says telephones are located in inmate housing areas and are generally available during the following periods:
- 8:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.
- 2:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.
- 6:30 p.m.–10:00 p.m.
Inmates may use debit, prepaid or collect calls. They cannot receive incoming calls through the inmate telephone system. Calls can be monitored and recorded, and telephone availability may be interrupted for meals, headcounts, emergencies or security needs.
NRVRJ directs phone-system questions to GTL/ConnectNetwork support at 877-650-4249.
Bringing Approved Property to NRVRJ
The jail says it accepts only pre-approved property Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., excluding holidays. Approval is handled case by case.
The currently published examples of potentially pre-approved items include prescription glasses, medication approved by the jail physician, court clothing on an exchange basis and money. Do not travel to the facility with an item simply because it appears on that list; obtain approval first.
Check official property rules →Use Virginia VINE for Custody-Status Notifications
NRVRJ links directly to VINELink as a custody-status resource. Virginia’s VINE program covers local and regional jails and allows users to search for an offender and register for available custody notifications.
Virginia VINE states that users may register for text, phone, email or TTY notifications. A custody-notification service can be particularly useful when the goal is to learn about release or transfer rather than repeatedly checking a jail roster.
VINELink
Search for a person in a participating local or regional jail and follow the registration instructions for available notification methods.
Open VINELink →Virginia VINE
Virginia VINE lists 1-800-467-4943 for general offender information through the VINE system.
If the Person Moves to Virginia State Custody
A person who leaves a regional jail after sentencing or transfer may need to be searched through the Virginia Department of Corrections rather than NRVRJ. VADOC’s Offender Locator covers people under VADOC custody; someone who is not under VADOC custody will not appear there.
Use the regional jail search for NRVRJ custody and the state offender locator for applicable Virginia Department of Corrections custody. They are not interchangeable databases.
Requesting a Record That Is Not in the Live Inmate Lookup
A live inmate search is not necessarily an archive of every past incarceration. If you need an older jail-held record, an administrative document or information that is not published through the lookup, contact NRVRJ and ask which records custodian or process applies.
The NRVRJ website currently includes a FOIA Statement page, but the accessible page reviewed for this article did not publish a detailed request procedure or fee schedule. For that reason, this guide does not invent a form, email address, response deadline or copying fee.
Check the current NRVRJ FOIA Statement page before submitting a request.
Verify an Arrest Before Repeating It
Jail records affect real people. A public booking entry should be read in context and matched carefully before it is repeated, published or used to make a decision about someone.
Use the official jail record to confirm custody, then use the appropriate court record when the outcome matters. A booking allegation can later be amended, dismissed or resolved differently.

New River Valley Regional Jail Mugshot & Inmate Search FAQs
Where is the official New River Valley Regional Jail inmate lookup?
The official NRVRJ website links to its inmate lookup from the Inmates menu. The linked inmate-search service is hosted on an NRVRJ subdomain. If the direct endpoint does not load, open nrvrj.org and select Inmates, then Lookup.
Can I search NRVRJ mugshots online?
NRVRJ provides a public inmate lookup, but the jail’s main public information pages do not promise a booking photograph for every inmate record. Use whatever official booking and custody information is currently displayed and do not treat a mugshot as proof of guilt.
What counties use New River Valley Regional Jail?
NRVRJ’s current resources page provides member/locality links for Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Pulaski and Wythe counties plus Radford. Because it is a regional jail, verify the locality connected with the arrest before searching for the court case.
Where is New River Valley Regional Jail located?
The physical facility is at 108 Baker Road, Dublin, Virginia 24084. The main telephone number is 540-643-2000. The administrative mailing address is P.O. Box 1067, Dublin, VA 24084.
Why does an inmate no longer appear in the NRVRJ lookup?
A person may have been released, transferred or moved to another custody system. A failed current-inmate search does not prove that an earlier booking did not happen. Check the relevant Virginia court and use VINE when custody notifications are useful.
How do I find the court case for an NRVRJ inmate?
Use Virginia Judiciary OCIS 2.0 and identify the locality connected with the criminal charge. NRVRJ serves multiple jurisdictions, so the fact that the jail is physically in Dublin does not mean every inmate’s case is in Pulaski County.
What are the NRVRJ video visitation hours?
The jail currently lists family and friends tablet video visitation Sunday through Saturday from 8:00–11:00 a.m., 12:00–3:00 p.m. and 6:00–10:00 p.m. Visitors establish a GettingOut account and the inmate initiates the visit. Check the official page for changes before relying on the schedule.
What address should I use for personal inmate mail?
NRVRJ currently directs personal inmate mail to P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. The envelope must include the facility name and state, inmate’s full name and identifier, and the sender’s full name and physical return address. Legal mail and money orders should not be sent to that personal-mail address.
How can family put money on an NRVRJ inmate account?
NRVRJ lists ConnectNetwork online services, a facility kiosk, telephone AdvancePay deposits and properly prepared mailed money orders among the available methods. Transaction fees may apply. Verify the current account instructions before sending money.
How can I receive an alert if an NRVRJ inmate is released or transferred?
NRVRJ links to VINELink. Virginia VINE provides custody information for local and regional jails and supports available phone, text, email or TTY notifications after registration.
