Why This Reference Exists
Virginia provides several public ways to check custody and records, but Nelson County uses a regional jail outside the county. ACRJ maintains local booking and release records. The Nelson Sheriff holds sheriff-created arrest and transport records. VADOC runs the state inmate and supervisee locator, while Lynchburg District 13 serves Nelson supervision cases. Federal releases belong in the BOP system. This site organizes those distinct release records, search routes, office contacts, and request steps so readers can follow the correct authority.
What the Pages Cover
The coverage follows the official custody path rather than treating every Nelson case as a county-jail record.
- The home page's full released-inmate search and release-record request route, plus focused pages for the release date lookup, VINE inmate check, and post-release supervision.
- A dedicated ACRJ facility page with its address, phone, records hours, and Nelson release process.
- Clear steps for Virginia Jail VINE and the statewide VADOC inmate and supervisee locator.
- Official routes for requesting an ACRJ booking record, release entry, or adult intake photograph.
Limits of This Site
This is a privately operated reference with no connection to a Virginia government agency, sheriff's office, jail, court, parole board, or corrections department. It cannot act for any of those offices.
- It cannot release, hold, or transfer anyone.
- It cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds for a visitor.
- It cannot provide legal advice or interpret a court order for a case.
- It cannot promise that every government contact, fee, or address remains current.
Only the responsible jail, court, sheriff, corrections agency, or supervising office can confirm its own current custody, charge, or release information.
