Questions

Inmate search — common questions

How do I find out if someone is in jail in Hampton Roads?

Search VINELink (vinelink.com), Virginia's official custody database, by name — or call the jail directly using the numbers on this page. You can also call us at (757) 751-0964 with a name and date of birth and we will locate them for you, free.

How soon after an arrest does someone show up in the system?

Usually within a few hours of booking. Overnight arrests sometimes do not appear until the next morning — if a search comes up empty, call the jail or call us and we will keep checking.

Can I find out the charges and bail amount too?

Virginia's online court records show charges and hearing dates, and the jail can confirm whether bail has been set. When you call us, we pull all of it — location, charges, and bail status — in one step.
