Choose the route that matches the question:
- For someone who may be in the regional jail now, start with jail inmate records and the SWVRJA current-inmate lookup.
- For public booking-photo issues, use the jail roster mugshots page and verify availability through the regional jail or FOIA process.
- For criminal or traffic charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Virginia court portals, including Online Case Information, General District Court case information, and Circuit Court case information.
- For facility-specific custody, visitation, phone, mail, or money questions, use the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority - Duffield Facility page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Virginia prisoner, use the Virginia Department of Corrections inmate locator rather than the Scott County sheriff or regional jail roster.
- For federal custody or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
