Search Arrest, Mugshot & Inmate Records by Name
Search by name and state for arrest, booking, mugshot, inmate, jail roster, prison, criminal and court-record search categories.
Independent records-search resource. This website is not a government agency, police department, sheriff's office, jail, prison or courthouse. Search coverage varies by source and jurisdiction. Some links may lead to third-party services, and compensation may be received when a partner service is used.
Follow the Record to the Right Jail
Searching New River Valley mugshots usually means you need more than a photograph. You may be trying to confirm a recent arrest, current custody, charges, bond, release, visitation or the next court date.
Start with New River Valley Regional Jail in Dublin, Virginia, verify the inmate through the official jail route, then move to bond, contact, custody or Virginia court records only when your question requires it.
How to Search New River Valley Mugshots Free
The safest free starting point is the official New River Valley Regional Jail website. Open its inmate resources, choose Inmate Lookup and confirm the person’s record before using third-party mugshot pages.
Fastest path: NRVRJ lookup answers the jail question. Virginia court records answer the case question. VINE or VADOC becomes useful when custody changes.
New River Valley Regional Jail Inmate Lookup
NRVRJ maintains an official inmate-resource section with a direct Inmate Lookup option. Use that route first instead of starting with a copied arrest gallery.
Open NRVRJ inmate resources
Confirm that the site identifies itself as New River Valley Regional Jail in Dublin, Virginia.
Choose Inmate Lookup
The official inmate-resources page provides the current lookup route along with bond, mail, telephone, account, property and visitation information.
Search the legal name
Start with the correct spelling. If no result appears, test a known variation, hyphenated name or version without a suffix such as Jr. or III.
Confirm more than the face
Compare name, arrest timing, facility, locality, available identifier, charge information and bond details before treating a result as a match.
Check whether the record is current
A booking photograph may remain online or be copied elsewhere after custody changes. Current jail status matters more than an old image.
Move to court records after confirmation
Once you know the correct person and arresting locality, use Virginia court information for hearings, filed charges and later case activity.
The official NRVRJ inmate section is the best place to begin because it connects the lookup with the jail’s current family and inmate-service rules.
For a wider statewide search when you are not certain the person is at NRVRJ, use our Virginia mugshots and inmate-search guide to identify the correct regional jail, sheriff, court or state-custody source.
NRVRJ Is Not Northern Regional Jail
This is one of the most important search mistakes to avoid.
| Search term | Facility | State | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| NRVRJ | New River Valley Regional Jail | Virginia | Use the Dublin, Virginia NRVRJ website and inmate resources. |
| NRJ | Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility | West Virginia | Do not use this system for a New River Valley, Virginia arrest. |
Search tip: if Google shows Moundsville, West Virginia, West Virginia DCR or Northern Regional Jail, you have entered the wrong jail system for a New River Valley, Virginia lookup.
NRVRJ Address, Phone and Regional Context
The facility is physically located in Dublin, but a regional jail can receive people connected with multiple member jurisdictions. Do not reject a correct inmate result only because the arrest occurred outside Dublin.
Physical Location
New River Valley Regional Jail
108 Baker Road
Dublin, VA 24084
Fax: 540-643-2010
General Mailing Address
New River Valley Regional Jail
P.O. Box 1067
Dublin, VA 24084
Do not use this automatically for personal inmate mail. Personal inmate correspondence currently uses a separate Phoenix, Maryland mail-processing address explained later in this guide.
Why the Jail Is Regional
The jail’s current authority information identifies the City of Radford and Bland, Floyd, Carroll, Giles, Grayson and Wythe counties in its regional authority context. Because the jail is regional, the correct court follow-up depends on the arresting jurisdiction rather than the jail’s Dublin address alone.
What to Do After a Very Recent Arrest
A same-day arrest can occur before the public jail lookup feels complete. Intake has to happen before an online jail record can reliably answer the question.
Information to Have Before Calling
- Full legal name
- Approximate age or date of birth
- Approximate arrest date and time
- City or county where the arrest happened
- Arresting police or sheriff agency if known
- Any warrant or case number you already have
“I am trying to confirm whether [full legal name] was recently committed to New River Valley Regional Jail. The arrest was believed to occur around [date/time] in [locality]. The person is not appearing in my search yet. Can you tell me which official inmate or custody resource I should check?”
If the arrest happened very recently, our recently booked mugshots guide explains why booking photos can lag behind an arrest and when to switch from the jail search to custody or court records.
Verify the Correct Person Before Trusting a Mugshot
A booking image is visually persuasive, but it is not enough to safely identify someone by itself.
- Full legal first and last name
- Middle name or known initial
- Suffix such as Jr., Sr., II or III
- Correct Virginia locality
- Approximate age or date of birth
- Arrest or commitment date
- Booking or inmate identifier
- Arresting or holding agency
- Charge description
- Related Virginia court record
Name-only matches are weak: do not publish, share or accuse someone based only on a common name or similar-looking photograph.
How NRVRJ Bond and Bail Work
The jail’s official bail page explains four possible outcomes from the pre-trial bail hearing. Understanding the category matters more than looking for a generic “typical bail amount.”
| Bail result | What it means | What the family should do |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Recognizance | The defendant promises in writing to appear and follow release conditions. No cash, property security or professional bondsman is required. | Confirm the release conditions and court date rather than trying to pay money. |
| Unsecured Bond | The defendant agrees to appear and follow conditions, with an agreement to forfeit money if required because of failure to appear. | Verify all conditions and the scheduled court appearance. |
| Secured Bond | Security may involve cash, property or a compensated or non-compensated surety. | Confirm the exact amount and acceptable method before paying anyone. |
| Ineligible for Bail | Release pending the court appearance is denied at that stage. | Move to the court or lawyer side instead of continuing to search for a payment option. |
Important legal step: once the person is committed to jail, NRVRJ states that a judge—not the magistrate—is the official who can lower the bond or arrange a recognizance bond.
If a person cannot post a cash or property bond, the official jail page explains that a professional bondsman may be used. Jail personnel cannot recommend a particular bonding agent.
Do not use a generic online bail chart. Bond depends on the actual bail decision and case. The jail’s own rules are more useful than guessed statewide dollar amounts.
Verify Payment Demands Before Sending Money
NRVRJ has published a scam warning for families of incarcerated people involving a caller impersonating a jail sergeant.
Known scam pattern: the jail reported a caller asking families to pay roughly $500–$600 to place an incarcerated family member into a home-confinement program and offering Cash App as the fast payment method.
- Do not trust caller ID alone
- Do not send Cash App payment because someone claims to be jail staff
- End the incoming call before verifying
- Use the main NRVRJ website yourself
- Call the independently verified jail number
- Ask which official payment system applies
NRVRJ Video Visitation for Family and Friends
Current family and friend visitation is built around tablet video visits rather than a generic walk-in jail-visit schedule.
How Family Video Visits Start
Create the visitor account
NRVRJ directs visitors to create an account through GettingOut or use the vendor’s assistance telephone number.
Wait for the inmate to initiate
The official page states that once the visitor account is established, the inmate initiates the video visit. Advance scheduling is not required for this tablet process.
Use an available tablet window
Current tablet visitation windows are listed every day of the week.
| Current tablet visitation window | Days |
|---|---|
| 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. | Sunday through Saturday |
| 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. | Sunday through Saturday |
| 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. | Sunday through Saturday |
Operational needs, lockdowns and security conditions can affect access. Check the official page again before relying on an old visitation screenshot.
Attorney Visits Are Different
Professional attorney visits are handled separately. NRVRJ currently authorizes attorney-of-record visits Monday through Friday beginning at 7:00 a.m. and completed by 3:00 p.m., subject to meals, lockdowns and security conditions. The jail asks attorneys to fax their intent 24 hours in advance.
NRVRJ Phone Hours and Calling Rules
Inmates cannot receive incoming calls through the inmate telephone system. They can make debit, prepaid or collect calls when the jail’s telephone system is available.
| Phone availability | Important note |
|---|---|
| 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. | General published housing-area telephone period. |
| 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. | General published housing-area telephone period. |
| 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. | General published housing-area telephone period. |
- Inmates cannot receive incoming inmate-system calls
- Calls may be debit, prepaid or collect
- Calls can be monitored and recorded
- Phones can be disabled during meals
- Phones can be disabled during headcounts
- Emergencies or security needs can interrupt access
The jail currently directs questions about the inmate phone system and charges to ConnectDirect/GTL support at 877-650-4249.
How to Add Money to an NRVRJ Inmate Account
The jail places money found during booking into the inmate’s account. Friends and family can also add funds using approved methods.
| Deposit method | Current guidance | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Use a money order made out to NRVRJ in care of the inmate’s name. Do not send cash. | A money order written directly to the inmate may be returned. | |
| In person | Money orders can be accepted at designated jail locations; cash can be deposited at the lobby kiosk. | Confirm current facility access before travelling. |
| Online | NRVRJ directs users to ConnectNetwork for eligible account deposits. | Transaction fees may apply. |
| Telephone | AdvancePay telephone deposits are available through the published vendor number. | Confirm whether you are funding the inmate trust account or prepaid telephone account. |
Important money-order rule: NRVRJ states that money orders or certified checks written directly to the inmate are not accepted. Follow the exact payee instructions on the current official accounts page.
Current NRVRJ Personal Inmate Mail Address
Personal inmate mail does not currently use the normal Dublin P.O. Box. NRVRJ directs personal correspondence to a mail-processing address in Phoenix, Maryland.
Personal inmate mail:
New River Valley Regional Jail VA
[Inmate Full Name + Identifier]
P.O. Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
What Must Be on the Envelope
- Full facility name
- State where the facility is located
- Inmate’s full name
- Inmate identifier
- Sender’s full name
- Sender’s physical address in the top-left corner
Do not send legal mail, checks or money orders to the Phoenix personal-mail address. NRVRJ explicitly states that the personal-mail address change does not apply to those items.
Personal correspondence is processed for electronic delivery to the inmate. Because mail policies are easy to copy incorrectly from old pages, always reopen the official jail page before mailing.
What Property NRVRJ May Accept
NRVRJ does not accept ordinary personal-property drop-offs on demand. The jail states that only pre-approved items are accepted, and approval is handled case by case.
The jail currently identifies the following examples of pre-approved items:
- Prescription glasses
- Medication approved by the jail physician
- Court clothing on an exchange-only basis
- Money through approved procedures
Why an NRVRJ Mugshot or Inmate Record May Be Missing
A failed search does not automatically mean there was no arrest.
Check the Virginia Court Record Next
The jail record tells you about custody. The court record is the better source for what happens after the arrest.
Use the Arresting Locality, Not Just “Dublin”
NRVRJ is a regional facility. The criminal case belongs to the appropriate Virginia court for the underlying locality and charge, so use the arresting county or city when moving into the court search.
| Question | Best source |
|---|---|
| Is the person currently at NRVRJ? | Official NRVRJ inmate lookup |
| What type of bond applies? | NRVRJ bonding page plus court/magistrate information |
| What charges were formally filed? | Virginia court case information |
| When is the next hearing? | Virginia court record or appropriate clerk |
| Was the charge dismissed or resolved? | Court disposition information |
A mugshot cannot tell you the final case result. Charges can change, cases can be dismissed, and an arrest can end without a conviction.
When to Use Virginia VINE or VADOC
Do not jump to the state corrections locator for every recent NRVRJ arrest. Use the tool that matches the custody question.
| Your goal | Best next source | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Current regional-jail inmate | NRVRJ inmate lookup | Closest source to the current local/regional custody question. |
| Custody-status notification | Virginia VINE | Built for custody-status and related notification information. |
| State corrections custody | VADOC Inmate & Supervisee Locator | Covers people under Virginia Department of Corrections custody or supervision. |
| Case outcome | Virginia Courts | Custody databases do not replace court disposition records. |
VADOC states that its locator is updated daily, while also warning that displayed information can still be inaccurate or outdated. Treat it as a state-custody tool rather than a guaranteed real-time substitute for NRVRJ.
How to Ask for a Booking or Arrest Record
Do not send a broad request to every New River Valley agency. First identify which public body is likely to hold the specific record.
Confirm the correct person
Use the NRVRJ lookup and court information before requesting a record.
Identify the record type
Decide whether you need a booking photograph, booking sheet, initial police report, warrant record or court document.
Identify the likely custodian
The booking jail, arresting sheriff or police department and court clerk can hold different records from the same event.
Provide a narrow date range
Use the full name, approximate arrest or booking date and locality to reduce searching and copying.
Ask about fees and redactions
Public-record availability and exemptions depend on the record and applicable Virginia law.
Request template: “I am requesting the publicly releasable [booking record / booking photograph / initial arrest report] for [full legal name], associated with an arrest or commitment believed to have occurred on or about [date] in [Virginia locality]. Please advise whether your office holds the record, whether fees or redactions apply, and whether an electronic copy is available.”
NRVRJ currently publishes a FOIA Statement page as part of its administration resources. When you are unsure whether NRVRJ or the arresting locality holds the requested record, contact the correct agency before submitting a broad request.
No guaranteed mugshot release: a public-record request does not guarantee that a booking image or every requested document will be available for public release.

New River Valley Mugshots and NRVRJ FAQs
Where can I search New River Valley Regional Jail mugshots and inmates?

Is NRVRJ the same as Northern Regional Jail or NRJ?
No. NRVRJ means New River Valley Regional Jail in Dublin, Virginia. Northern Regional Jail, often abbreviated NRJ, is a different facility in West Virginia. Confirm the state and facility before relying on a search result.
What areas are connected with New River Valley Regional Jail?
The jail’s current authority information identifies the City of Radford and the counties of Bland, Floyd, Carroll, Giles, Grayson and Wythe in the regional authority context. Always verify the arresting locality because court records are organized by the relevant Virginia court or locality.

How long does it take for a recent NRVRJ arrest to appear online?
There is no guaranteed posting time. Booking, identification, classification, transportation and data entry can delay a public result. Recheck the official inmate lookup or contact the jail when a same-day custody question is urgent.
What types of bond does NRVRJ explain?
NRVRJ explains four possible pre-trial bail outcomes: personal recognizance, unsecured bond, secured bond and ineligible for bail. After a person is committed to jail, a judge rather than the magistrate must lower the bond or arrange a recognizance bond.
How does New River Valley Regional Jail visitation work?
Family and friend visitation is conducted through tablet video visitation. Visitors create a GettingOut account and the inmate initiates the visit. The jail currently lists tablet visitation windows of 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., noon to 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Saturday.
What is the current NRVRJ personal inmate mail address?
The jail currently directs personal inmate mail to P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, Maryland 21131. 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 address. This address does not apply to legal mail, checks or money orders.
Can an inmate at NRVRJ receive incoming telephone calls?
No. NRVRJ states that inmates cannot receive incoming calls through the inmate telephone system. Inmates may make debit, prepaid or collect calls during the facility’s available telephone periods, subject to operational restrictions.
What should I do if I cannot find someone in the NRVRJ lookup?
Recheck the name spelling and correct facility, allow time for recent booking processing, and consider whether the person was released or transferred. Use Virginia court records for case follow-up, Virginia VINE for custody information and VADOC’s inmate and supervisee locator when state corrections custody may apply.
