Lookup Riverside Regional Jail Inmates

Riverside Regional Jail Overview

Riverside Regional Jail is operated by the Riverside Regional Jail Authority and serves Surry County as a member jurisdiction. It is a regional adult detention facility in North Prince George, not a Surry courthouse or sheriff's office building. Riverside's public materials list seven member localities: Charles City County, Chesterfield County, Prince George County, Surry County, Colonial Heights, Hopewell, and Petersburg.

The facility holds adults from member jurisdictions, including Surry County arrestees committed to jail. The population can include local pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, accepted non-member inmates, state or federal contract inmates, U.S. Marshals prisoners, and immigration detainees when agreements and space allow. Those categories matter because the Riverside lookup is only one search path. State prison custody, federal sentenced custody, and ICE custody have separate public locators.

The Virginia authority page for Riverside Regional Jail Authority confirms the regional legal structure and names Surry County in the authority framework.

That authority structure explains why a Surry County inmate search starts with Riverside instead of a county-operated jail roster.

Riverside Regional Jail Population

Riverside's current public pages did not provide a rated-capacity table or a Surry-only daily inmate count. The research located a public-sector recruitment reference describing Riverside as a 1,500-bed adult detention center, but that figure should be treated as a cited facility descriptor rather than a current official capacity table. Riverside financial-report search indexes also show regional average daily population trends, not a separate Surry County average daily population.

Search Riverside Regional Jail

The correct first lookup for Surry County local jail custody is the Riverside inmate lookup. The form has a name-search panel and an identifier-search panel. The name panel accepts first name, last name, and date of birth. The identifier panel offers Booking Number, Permanent Number, State ID, County ID, FBI Number, and ICE Number. It also has an "Include released inmates" checkbox, useful when a person may have recently bonded out or transferred.

1. Open the Riverside lookup and search by first and last name.
2. Add date of birth when known to reduce false matches.
3. Use the released-inmate checkbox if the person may no longer be in custody.
4. Switch to identifier search when a booking number, permanent number, state ID, county ID, FBI number, or ICE number is known.
5. If Riverside has no match, search VADOC, VINE, BOP, and ICE based on the custody type.

The Surry County inmate records search path is broader than the facility form. It includes phone, in-person, and public-record request fallbacks when the online roster is incomplete or does not show a recent custody event.

Riverside Regional Jail Contact

Riverside is the facility contact for jail custody, housing, visits, mail, phones, commissary, and jail-held booking records. Surry County Sheriff's Office remains the local law-enforcement agency for many arresting-agency records, but the jail desk and inmate services are Riverside functions.

Riverside also publishes functional contacts for ADA access at ada@rrjva.org, PREA anonymous reporting at prea@rrjva.org, and professional visitation at professionalvisits@rrjva.org. For same-day professional remote visit questions, Riverside lists the facility lobby line at 804-524-6600 extension 6020.

Riverside Regional Jail Visits

All inmate visits are scheduled online through the ICSolutions visitation portal linked from Riverside. Riverside warns that the posted schedule controls, even if the scheduling system appears to allow a different time. Visitors should arrive at least 15 minutes early. A visitor more than 15 minutes late for a regular scheduled visit is denied.

Riverside's visitor rules also cover dress and allowed items. Footwear is required. Undergarments are required. Revealing clothing, see-through garments, crop tops, backless tops, sleeveless garments, mini-skirts, high-cut splits, and other listed items can lead to denial. Visitors may not bring phones, cameras, recording devices, tobacco products, lighters, weapons, handbags, letters, books, magazines, pictures, food, or drinks into the visitation area. One diaper and one bottle may be allowed for infants, but bags are not.

Riverside Mail Phone Money

Riverside's mail rules are split by mail type. Personal mail is not sent to the jail building for normal delivery. It is processed by a third party and delivered digitally through inmate tablets, with paper used if the inmate lacks tablet access. Legal mail still goes directly to Riverside. Phone and tablet services are handled through ICSolutions, while commissary is managed through Keefe Commissary Network.

Friends and family can fund prepaid phone accounts for calls to a specific number or debit phone time for the inmate. Many carriers do not accept collect calls to cell phones, so debit calling may be needed. ICSolutions customer care is listed for receiving or blocking calls, rates, and technical issues.

Riverside State Federal ICE

Riverside is a regional jail, not a VADOC prison, BOP prison, or ICE-only facility. A person arrested in Surry County may start at Riverside as pretrial or local custody. After conviction and state sentencing, the person may move into VADOC custody and should be searched through the VADOC locator. VINE can be used for custody and case notifications, but it is not the same as a jail roster.

The U.S. Marshals agreement for Riverside describes housing, safekeeping, and subsistence of federal prisoners committed by federal officers or held as material witnesses. It also requires federal prisoners to be released only to the agency initially committing the prisoner, a Deputy U.S. Marshal, or an agent specified by USMS. That kind of hold can affect release even when a local charge has a bond.

Riverside FOIA PREA ADA

Jail-held booking and confinement records should be requested from Riverside's FOIA/Public Information contact. County-held arrest, incident, dispatch, or sheriff records may belong with Surry County FOIA instead. Surry County's FOIA process says requests do not have to be written, but written requests are recommended, and the county may charge actual costs. For jail records, the Riverside FOIA address is the cleaner path.

Riverside publishes PREA and ADA contact routes. PREA anonymous reporting goes to Lt. A. Jones at 500 FOLAR Trail, North Prince George, VA 23860, or prea@rrjva.org. ADA contact goes to Lt. D. Puryear at the same address or ada@rrjva.org. Professional visitors, including attorneys and probation or parole personnel, use professionalvisits@rrjva.org. Riverside states professional visits are not recorded or monitored, and a professional no-charge or no-record phone list requires verification.

Riverside operates under a direct-supervision model. Its facility page describes officers working in housing pods without a physical barrier, interacting with inmates directly to reduce conflict and vandalism. Virginia minimum jail standards also cover inmate records, daily logs, classification, grievance procedures, programs, mail, telephone, medical care, and other jail operations.
