Pamunkey Regional Jail Overview

Pamunkey Regional Jail is operated by the Pamunkey Regional Jail Authority. For Powhatan County readers, it is the practical primary detention facility because Powhatan Sheriff's Office arrests can be housed there by contract. The official site lists the jail at 7240 Courtland Farm Road, Hanover, VA 23069, with main phone 804-365-6400 and public office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday. Hanover's official directory names Nathan J. Webel as superintendent and lists inmate information extensions for records questions.

The facility is a regional jail, not a VADOC state prison. It holds adult male and female local detainees and sentenced jail inmates from arrest through the court process, including people booked from several member and contract jurisdictions. Pamunkey's public roster feed contained entries where the arresting agency was "Powhatan Sheriffs Office," which is the key reason Powhatan inmate lookup starts here for current local custody.

The official Pamunkey homepage includes the jail contact block and quick links for Who's In Jail, VINE, visitation, mail, commissary, tips, FOIA, PREA, accreditation, and app download resources.

Those official quick links are useful because custody lookup, visitation, mail, and public-records routing are handled through different parts of the jail site.

Pamunkey Regional Jail Capacity

Official local financial and budget materials describe Pamunkey as a 127,000-square-foot facility with 14 housing units and a 519-inmate capacity. The jail opened in spring 1998. Those are facility-wide figures, not a Powhatan-only population count. The research did not locate a current Powhatan-only average daily population or a Powhatan-only demographic breakdown for inmates housed at Pamunkey, so the page should not infer one from the regional total.

Pamunkey's contract setting also explains why the roster is broader than Powhatan County. It can include people booked by other agencies. A Powhatan search should always verify the arresting agency and booking facts before treating a profile as the right person.

Lookup Pamunkey Regional Jail Inmates

Use the Pamunkey "Who's In Jail" roster for current regional jail custody. The public interface has a "Type to Search" field, result cards, image slots, "Read More" links, and pagination. No public fee or login was visible for basic roster browsing in the inspected material. If a person is not listed, use the phone and records-request fallback chain before assuming release.

1. Open the official Pamunkey "Who's In Jail" page.
2. Type the person's last name or a partial full name.
3. Use pagination when the name is common or results are broad.
4. Open "Read More" and compare age, race, sex, booking date, charges, bond, and hearing data.
5. For Powhatan cases, check whether the arresting agency field identifies Powhatan Sheriff's Office.
6. Call 804-365-6400 or inmate information extensions 3033, 3034, or 3064 when the roster is unclear.

Pamunkey Regional Jail Contact

Call Pamunkey for current custody, visitation, commissary, work release, and central-control questions tied to the jail. Call Powhatan Sheriff's Office for Powhatan arrest, incident, warrant, or sheriff FOIA questions. Those offices are related in a Powhatan case, but they do not hold the same records.

Visit Pamunkey Regional Jail

Pamunkey's official visit page links video visits and messaging to GettingOut, phone and funding to ConnectNetwork, and ViaPath support. Detailed day-by-day schedule text was not visible in the inspected HTML, so visit times should be confirmed with the jail before travel. This is especially important for Powhatan visitors because the jail is in Hanover, not at the Powhatan courthouse area.

The official visit page shows the vendor links used for visits, messaging, phone, and funding.

The vendor links support remote services, but the jail should still confirm current eligibility, ID, scheduling, and rule details.

Mail Money and Phone at Pamunkey

Personal mail for Pamunkey inmates is routed to a scanned-mail address: Pamunkey Regional Jail VA, inmate full name and jacket number or BN, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. The sender must include a full name and physical address in the top-left corner. Legal mail should not be sent to the scanned personal-mail address. Legal and professional visits or correspondence should be confirmed with the facility.

Pamunkey Booking and Intake

For a Powhatan arrest, the arresting step can begin with the Powhatan County Sheriff's Office or another law-enforcement agency. The person may be taken before a magistrate, processed on a warrant or warrantless arrest, and then transported to Pamunkey if detention is ordered. Booking creates the custody record that can later appear on the roster.

The internal process may include identity confirmation, warrant or commitment review, property inventory, search, photographs and fingerprints where authorized, medical and safety screening, classification, phone access, and housing assignment. Official Pamunkey public pages did not publish a minute-by-minute intake timeline or exact roster refresh frequency. If the person is not visible shortly after arrest, call Pamunkey and Powhatan Sheriff's Office rather than assuming release.

Pamunkey Records and FOIA

Pamunkey has its own FOIA page for jail authority records. Powhatan Sheriff's Office has a separate FOIA email for sheriff records, and Powhatan County has a broader FOIA portal for county records. A useful request identifies the person, approximate booking date, arresting agency, and the exact existing record sought. Virginia FOIA does not require a requester to use magic words, but the request must be reasonably specific.

The Pamunkey FOIA page is the jail-side public-records route for Pamunkey-held records.

Use that route for jail authority records, while sheriff arrest records and court files remain with their own offices.

About Pamunkey Regional Jail

Pamunkey publishes pages for PREA, accreditation, documents, ADA, legal and professional visits, inmate mail and commissary, tips, and public records. Its regional structure is one reason Powhatan readers need to check the arresting agency field on the roster. The same roster may include Powhatan, Hanover, Goochland, New Kent, Caroline, Ashland, and other regional or contract entries.

State Farm Correctional Center and State Farm Work Center are different. They are VADOC facilities for sentenced state prisoners. A person who leaves Pamunkey after sentencing may later appear in VADOC's locator rather than on the Pamunkey roster.
