Choose the Record Custodian
A Lee County arrest does not always lead to a Lee County building. SWVRJA keeps the regional jail booking and release records for people held in its authority-wide system. The Sheriff holds its own arrest or incident records. VADOC maintains state custody and supervision information, while the court clerks keep case orders and dispositions. Use the contact that matches the document sought.

The following routes cover the most common questions:
- For a released person or an actual release record, use the Lee County search and records path and SWVRJA’s FOIA contact.
- For supervision after confinement, check Lee County probation and parole and the current VADOC office directory.
- For a release within the past day, start with Jail Releases: 24 Hours; SWVRJA does not publish a distinct same-day feed.
- For an expected date or status alert, use Projected Release or the VINELink Inmate Search.
- For a specific jail or prison, use the matching facility page listed below.
- For a state-responsible person, use the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator. For a federal person, use BOP; ICE has a separate current-detention locator.
Questions about a Lee court case should go to the court where it was filed. General District Court may show preliminary felony proceedings, while Circuit Court holds the final felony disposition. Check the official court directory for current clerk hours and closure notices.
