Local Jail and Record Contacts

A Harrisonburg case may involve either regional jail. Start with the facility that last held the person and ask if the exit was community release or transfer. MRRJ publishes a dedicated FOIA officer for written custody-record requests.

State and Court Contacts

Use the office tied to the kind of record needed. The home page gives the full named-person and release-record path, while parole and probation addresses supervision.

  • For a local custody transaction, contact MRRJ or the Rockingham County Sheriff jail channel.
  • For a Harrisonburg/Rockingham district case, call the Traffic and Criminal Division at (540) 564-3130. The clerk is at 53 Court Square, Room 132, Harrisonburg, and works 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • For a state inmate or supervisee, contact VADOC at P.O. Box 26963, Richmond, VA 23261, (804) 674-3000, or docmail@vadoc.virginia.gov.
  • For local jail notifications, call Virginia Jail VINE at 1-800-467-4943 or TTY 1-866-847-1298.

  • For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE rather than a local jail roster.

A recent-release question does not have an official local feed. Use the 24-hour release alternatives, a time-bounded record request, or a VINELink release check.
