Frederick County Jail Roster Overview

The adult Frederick County jail roster is not run as a standalone sheriff jail page. Current adult local custody is handled by Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center, a regional jail serving Clarke County, Fauquier County, Frederick County, and Winchester City. The official NRADC locate-an-inmate page is the first place to search for a person held in the adult regional jail. It is free, and the official text says users can search by first and last name.

The Frederick County Sheriff's Office is still a key records channel. It holds sheriff arrest, incident, warrant, and law-enforcement records, and its Police-to-Citizen portal includes routes for Recent Arrests, Daily Bulletin, Event Search, and related public information. P2C helps connect a recent arrest to an agency, charge, date, case number, or image endpoint, but it is not the same thing as current NRADC custody. Court records, prosecutor files, state prison records, federal custody, and immigration detention each use separate channels.

Use the Frederick County Inmate Roster

Start with the official NRADC lookup when the question is whether someone is in the adult regional jail. Have the person's legal name ready. Date of birth is useful if the search screen offers it or if the person has a common name. Because the research did not capture a full sample profile from a person-specific search, read any live result carefully and confirm unclear status with the jail before taking action such as scheduling a visit or sending funds.

1. Open the NRADC locate-an-inmate page instead of a commercial inmate-search site.
2. Enter the person's first and last name in the text boxes shown by the official page.
3. Use date of birth if that field appears and the search returns too many similar names.
4. Compare the result to sheriff P2C or arrest-report details if the question involves a recent arrest.
5. Call NRADC at 540-535-3800 if the search fails and the custody question is urgent.
6. Move to VADOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINE if the person is outside normal local jail custody.

Frederick County Roster Search Fields

The NRADC lookup field inventory is narrow, which is useful for quick searches but limited when a name is misspelled or incomplete. Official accessible text confirmed first and last name boxes. The indexed field list also showed date of birth. No booking-number or facility filter was confirmed for the NRADC page during the research pass, so those fields should not be promised.

The sheriff's P2C Recent Arrests route uses different fields. Its inspected route text showed first name, middle name, last name, age, and arrest date filters. That makes P2C useful when the known fact is an arrest date rather than a current jail status.

Frederick County Inmate Profile Fields

A Frederick County inmate record can draw from several official record streams. NRADC's intake page confirms booking-system processing, fingerprints, booking photographs, magistrate bond review, medical and mental-health screening, and classification. Sheriff arrest reports and P2C confirm charge, case number, arrest timing, location, officer, agency, sex, age, race, and images where available. The table below labels what was confirmed and avoids treating every field as a guaranteed public roster field.

No Frederick County Roster Result

A no-result search is not proof that no custody or arrest record exists. The person may still be in booking, may have posted bond, may have been transferred to VADOC after sentencing, may be held for another jurisdiction, or may be in federal or immigration custody. The correct next step depends on the facts already known. A brand-new arrest points back to NRADC and P2C. A prison sentence points to VADOC. A federal case points to BOP or U.S. Marshals custody history. An immigration matter points to ICE ODLS.

Frederick County Jail Access Channels

Frederick County inmate records work best as an access chain. Start with the source most likely to hold the current record, then move outward. The juvenile detention center is not part of the adult public jail roster, and adult NRADC rules should not be applied to juvenile detention records.

Frederick County Jail Facilities

Adult Frederick County inmate records focus on NRADC. The juvenile facility is listed because it serves Frederick County, but juvenile custody is confidential and should not be treated like an adult roster search. No VADOC state prison, BOP prison, adult ICE detention center, or separate Winchester city jail was found in Frederick County from official sources.

Booking Process in Frederick County

NRADC's First 48 Hours page gives the local booking sequence. A new arrestee is received through Booking, pat searched, and has personal property and cash inventoried. The magistrate determines bond. The person is entered into the booking system, fingerprinted, photographed, issued jail clothing and property, and screened for medical, mental-health, and suicide concerns. These steps create many of the records people later try to find.

After booking, NRADC says incarcerated persons are given an opportunity to make two phone calls, although phone access can be delayed if the person is intoxicated or violent. If the person is not released or bonded, a classification interview occurs within 72 business hours. Booking and court filing are separate events. A roster or recent-arrest entry may show an arrest charge, while the court case can later show amendments, dismissal, indictment, plea, or trial outcome.

For court charges and filing status after booking, use the Virginia court systems and the local court path rather than relying only on the roster. The custody side and the case side often update on different schedules.

Frederick County Inmate Visitation

NRADC family and friend visitation is video visitation. On-site video visits are first come, first served in the Main Lobby, and the visitor must be on the incarcerated person's visitor list. The official page says visits can last up to 30 minutes and all visits are recorded. Off-site on-demand video visits use GettingOut, and the inmate initiates them during leisure time. Confirm status before travel because custody changes can make a scheduled visit invalid.

Mail, Money, and Commissary

Mail to an NRADC inmate should use the inmate's full name and the facility address at 141 Fort Collier Road, Winchester, VA 22603. The official mail page says mail is unlimited but inspected, and personal mail is scanned to the inmate tablet system. Restrictions include a return-address requirement, a two-ounce limit, no cash or personal checks, no stamps, envelopes, paper, pens, cards, stickers, glued items, staples, or care packages. Books and magazines must come from approved distributors or the publisher, and hardback, bound, or spiral items are not allowed.

Money can be used for commissary, phone calls, and facility fees. NRADC lists deposit options through lobby Inmate Banker kiosks, mailed USPS money order, and online ConnectNetwork. ConnectNetwork lists the facility as NW Regional VA - Adult Detention, Site ID 7, with AdvancePay Phone and Trust Fund services. Tablet funds are added through GettingOut only. Commissary orders are weekly and due Tuesday at 10:00 PM for Thursday delivery.

Request Frederick County Jail Records

When a record is not visible online, use the office that holds it. The sheriff's FOIA page identifies Sheriff Lenny Millholland as records custodian for the Sheriff's Office and says requests may be made by mail, fax, email, in person, phone, or online system. The requester must provide a name and legal address and must ask for records with reasonable specificity. Costs may be charged under actual-cost rules, and a requester may ask for an estimate in advance.

For sheriff arrest or incident records, use the sheriff FOIA route. For NRADC booking or jail records, use the NRADC FOIA channel or county request route. For court filings and dispositions, use the court clerk and Virginia Judiciary case information. For prosecutor-held records, use the Commonwealth's Attorney FOIA process. The Frederick County NextRequest portal is a documented official public-record request channel and reminds users to ask for specific documents.

Specific requests are more useful than broad questions. Include the person's name, arrest or booking date, case number if known, agency, and the exact record type requested.

Frederick County State and Federal Search

The county roster covers local adult jail custody. It does not cover every person who once had a Frederick County case. For a sentenced state prisoner or supervisee, use the Virginia Department of Corrections. The VADOC inmate and supervisee locator can be searched by name or DOC ID, with filters for location, race, gender, and age range. VADOC says it updates daily and warns that information can be inaccurate or outdated.

The BOP locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present and can be searched by number or by name with race, sex, and age. ICE ODLS is separate and requires either A-number plus country of birth or name plus country of birth and date of birth. No adult ICE detention facility was found in Frederick County, and no BOP prison was found in the county, but transfer to these systems can make the local roster stop being useful.

The successful manifest image below shows the official VADOC locator used when a Frederick County jail record has moved into state corrections custody.

Use VINE or VINELink for custody-status notifications, especially when release or transfer alerts matter more than a one-time search result.

Bond

Release terms set by a magistrate or court while a case is pending.

Personal recognizance

Release based on a promise to appear and comply, without secured money.
