Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center Lookup

Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center Overview

The Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center is located at 400 FOLAR Trail, North Prince George, VA 23860. RRJ procurement material describes it as a distinct building immediately beside the main jail, not connected to it. It is operated by the Riverside Regional Jail Authority, the same authority that operates the main regional jail at 500 FOLAR Trail. The facility type is work-release, pre-release, and community corrections rather than state prison, federal prison, or a separate Prince George County sheriff-run jail.

The research source says the Pre-Release Center houses Community Corrections Division functions, including Weekenders, Work Release, and programs. That makes the page important for searchers who already know someone is at Riverside but do not know whether the person is in the main jail or in a program building. Prince George County custody can involve several systems in the same local geography: the main RRJ facility, this Pre-Release Center, the state VADOC locator after sentencing, and nearby federal BOP facilities at FCI Petersburg Low and FCI Petersburg Medium. The Pre-Release Center belongs to the RRJ local/regional system.

Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center Capacity and Population

Current public population figures for the Pre-Release Center were not found in the live facility pages reviewed for the research. The usable facility-specific figure comes from RRJ procurement text: FY2018 average daily population was listed as 118, and the same material said ADP could increase to over 200. Those numbers describe the pre-release building and program population, not the main jail's broader adult local and regional population. They should not be treated as today's verified head count without checking RRJ's newest financial or capacity reports.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center

The research did not locate a separate public roster for the Pre-Release Center. Start with the Riverside Regional Jail inmate lookup because the Pre-Release Center is part of the RRJ system. The lookup redirects to the DSI-ITI IML form, where a person can search by name and date of birth or by identifier. Identifier options include booking number, permanent number, state ID, county ID, FBI number, and ICE number. Use the released-inmate checkbox if the person was in a weekend, work-release, short sentence, bond, or transfer situation where the stay may have been brief.

1. Open the RRJ inmate lookup rather than the VADOC, BOP, or ICE locator unless the person is in state, federal, or immigration custody.
2. Search by first and last name, adding date of birth when needed to separate similar names.
3. Use booking number or permanent number if you received an exact RRJ identifier from the court, jail, or family paperwork.
4. If no result appears, call RRJ at (804) 524-6600 or use the RRJ FOIA contact route for records not posted online.

Search results confirmed in the research showed inmate name, booking number, permanent ID, date of birth, and release date. The results table did not confirm a housing or program field, so do not assume the public table will label someone as Pre-Release Center, work release, or weekender. A blank release date may indicate no visible release date, while a populated release date can help identify someone who has already left custody.

Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center Address and Contact

The public phone route should begin with the Riverside Regional Jail main number unless RRJ publishes a more specific current line. For records requests, use the same RRJ FOIA contact identified in the research: Lt. C. Jones, Office of Professional Review, Riverside Regional Jail, 500 FOLAR Trail, North Prince George, VA 23860, with email at foia@rrjva.org. The Pre-Release Center's separate street address is important for visits, program reporting, and directions, but FOIA and general custody confirmation still route through RRJ.

Visiting Someone at Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center

The research did not find a stand-alone Pre-Release Center visitation calendar, so use RRJ's systemwide visitation rules unless the facility gives a person a more specific program instruction. Riverside on-site visitation is scheduled online through the jail's visitation portal and ICSolutions route. The schedule is controlled by housing unit or program assignment, and the official visitation page warns that a visitor can be turned away if the appointment is not on the published schedule even if the portal allowed it. People in work release or weekend programs may have restrictions that differ from standard jail housing, so confirm before travel.

RRJ's general visitor rules still matter. Visitors should arrive at least 15 minutes before a scheduled visit. More than 15 minutes late for a regular scheduled visit means denial. Valid photo ID is required for visitors other than minors, minors must be listed and accompanied, and visits are limited to no more than three visitors for one inmate with no more than two minors among the three. All visitors and personal effects are subject to search, and visitors age 13 and older are subject to body scan procedures unless a pregnancy or medical condition requires a different process.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center

The research treats personal mail, phone, tablet, and deposit services as RRJ systemwide unless RRJ publishes a more specific Pre-Release Center program rule. Personal and nonlegal mail should not be sent to the FOLAR Trail building unless RRJ instructs otherwise. Since May 22, 2023, personal mail is processed through a third party and delivered digitally to tablets, with paper provided if tablet access is unavailable. Legal mail goes directly to the jail at the North Prince George address.

Booking and Intake at Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center

The Pre-Release Center is not the usual first public booking point for a Prince George County arrest. New arrest custody typically begins with arrest or warrant service, magistrate or court bond and commitment decisions, and RRJ intake at the regional jail system. A person may then be assigned to a community corrections, work-release, weekender, or program setting if approved and eligible. That distinction is the key difference between the Pre-Release Center and the main regional jail page: the main jail is the central intake and local detention facility, while this building supports approved program custody.

If a recent arrest is missing from the lookup, avoid assuming the person is in the Pre-Release Center. New bookings may not appear instantly, and RRJ did not publish an update frequency for the IML page in the inspected material. Recheck the RRJ lookup with released inmates included, call the main RRJ number, check Prince George court information, or submit a Virginia FOIA request with reasonable specificity. For sentenced state prisoners or supervisees, use VADOC. For federal sentenced prisoners at FCI Petersburg Low or Medium, use the BOP locator.

About Riverside Regional Jail Pre-Release Center

The Pre-Release Center deserves separate treatment because it is a separate building at 400 FOLAR Trail and because its population is different from the general main-jail population. RRJ procurement material ties it to Community Corrections Division functions, Weekenders, Work Release, and programs. RRJ job-posting context in the research also showed program and reentry roles, including Case Worker, Programs Coordinator, Therapeutic Community Counselor/Cognitive Counselor, Work Release Transportation Personnel, Inmate Activities Coordinator, and Jail Officer. Those staffing references support the program-oriented function of the building without converting it into a state prison or federal correctional institution.

Records and public-access limits are the same practical issue here as with the main jail. RRJ's public lookup may confirm a person, but the research did not verify a public table field that identifies Pre-Release Center placement. Records not posted online should start with the RRJ FOIA contact, while Prince George Sheriff's Office, Prince George Police, and court records have separate custodians. Virginia FOIA allows agencies to require reasonable specificity, assess costs, redact records, or withhold some law-enforcement material when an exemption applies. Adult arrestee photographs can be public records under Virginia FOIA guidance, but release may be delayed if it would jeopardize a felony investigation.
