State Farm Inmate Custody
State Farm Correctional Center is operated by the Virginia Department of Corrections facilities system. The official VADOC facilities list identifies the correctional center as an active facility at 3500 Woods Way, State Farm, VA 23160, with phone 804-598-5503. The facilities list also names Garry Jones as warden. This is state prison custody for sentenced VADOC inmates. It is not the regional jail that handles a person booked right after a Powhatan County arrest.
That distinction matters for every State Farm Correctional Center inmate search. A person arrested by the Powhatan County Sheriff's Office is generally routed first through local court and regional jail channels. The main local custody page for Powhatan arrestees is Powhatan County jail inmate records, which explains the Pamunkey Regional Jail roster. State Farm Correctional Center becomes relevant later, after a state sentence or transfer into VADOC authority.
Important: Do not use Pamunkey jail mail, visit, or commissary rules for a State Farm Correctional Center inmate.
State Farm Inmate Population
Research located one facility-specific population point for State Farm Correctional Center, but it should be treated as historical source context rather than a current headcount. The VADOC monthly population material cited in the research file listed State Farm Correctional Center at 602 inmates in February 2023. No current official facility capacity or live population count for State Farm Correctional Center was located in the inspected public facility page.
VADOC population data is separate from Powhatan's local inmate population. A Powhatan County jail figure would count people in local or regional jail custody, while State Farm Correctional Center houses sentenced state prisoners. The Powhatan County inmate population hub gives the broader local search path and explains why the county jail, the state prison system, and federal or immigration custody should not be mixed together.
State Farm Inmate Lookup
The correct public search tool is the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator. It can be searched by first and last name or by DOC ID. VADOC says the locator covers people in VADOC institutions, people on probation or parole, people assigned to institutional hospitals, people housed in local or regional jails under VADOC authority, and CCAP participants. The user must accept the locator disclaimer, and VADOC warns that records may be inaccurate or out of date even though the data is updated daily.
- Open the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator and read the disclaimer before searching.
- Search by first name and last name, or use the DOC ID if it is known.
- Use optional filters such as location, race, gender, or age range only when they help narrow a common name.
- Confirm that the result lists State Farm Correctional Center or another VADOC location before using prison visit, mail, or money rules.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Yes if name search | Used with Last Name for a name-based search. |
| Last Name | Text | Yes if name search | Use the legal name or the best known spelling. |
| DOC ID # | Text | Yes if ID search | Alternative to first and last name. |
| Location | Filter | No | Can narrow results to a listed VADOC facility. |
| Race, Gender, Age Range | Filters | No | Useful for common names, but a bad filter can hide the right person. |
| Disclaimer | Checkbox | Yes | The search cannot proceed until the user acknowledges it. |
State Farm Address and Contact
Use the official facility listing for the base address and phone number. Before travel, call the prison or use VADOC family and friend resources to confirm current entry rules. The public research did not locate a visitor-hours table on the State Farm Correctional Center facility listing, so the page should not invent daily or weekend visiting times.

State Farm Visit Approval
Visiting a sentenced VADOC inmate requires approval and scheduling through the VADOC visiting process. New users register with the visitation scheduler. The research file notes VADOC's statement that an applicant receives a waiting-for-approval notice, then an email within three working days that determines approval status. State Farm Correctional Center visits should be handled under VADOC rules, not Pamunkey Regional Jail rules.
Approval does not by itself prove that a visit will occur on a specific day. Facility status, staffing, security needs, weather, medical restrictions, or an inmate's classification can affect whether a visit is available. Confirm the current process before leaving for the facility, especially if the inmate was recently transferred or the locator changed locations.
| Visit Item | VADOC Detail | Use at State Farm |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor approval | Required before visiting | Apply and wait for approval notice. |
| Scheduling | Handled through VADOC scheduler | Schedule only after approval. |
| Approval timing | Email within three working days per research | Check email before planning travel. |
| Published local schedule | Not located in inspected sources | Call 804-598-5503 or check VADOC before travel. |
State Farm Mail and Money
VADOC mail and money rules control State Farm Correctional Center. The VADOC sending money page routes state inmate deposits through JPay online, by phone at 1-800-574-5729, and through the JPay mobile app. The VADOC sending mail page should be used for state inmate correspondence rules and facility addressing. Do not send State Farm prison mail to Pamunkey Regional Jail's Phoenix scanned-mail address.
| Service | Correct State-Prison Channel |

| Inmate lookup | VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator. |
| Money deposit | JPay online, JPay phone line at 1-800-574-5729, or JPay mobile app. |
| Personal mail | Use VADOC mail guidance and current facility addressing. |
| Legal mail | Follow VADOC legal correspondence rules and verify the format before mailing. |
State Farm Intake Path
State Farm Correctional Center does not perform street-arrest booking for Powhatan County. A new local arrest is processed through law enforcement, a magistrate or court path, and regional jail custody if detention is ordered. If the case later results in a state prison sentence, custody may move from the regional jail into VADOC reception, classification, and placement. Classification is the prison system's review of sentence, risk, custody level, health needs, program needs, and facility assignment.
Because VADOC can move a sentenced person between institutions, the locator should be checked again before visits or money transfers. A person may also appear under VADOC authority while housed in a local or regional jail, institutional hospital, supervision office, or CCAP setting. The location field, release date field, and daily update note are useful, but they do not replace direct confirmation for urgent travel or release questions.
State Farm Recent Records
Recent VADOC source material adds local context for State Farm Correctional Center. A VADOC release dated January 31, 2025 reported that partner law-enforcement and first responder agencies completed a full-scale field training exercise at the facility on January 28, 2025. That item is about operational training and emergency coordination, not a change in inmate lookup rules.
VADOC also reported in June 2024 that a State Farm inmate was indicted by a Powhatan County grand jury on solicitation-related charges involving allegations tied to corrections staff. That detail shows why a state inmate can still have a Powhatan court record while already in prison custody. Court charges and custody location are different records, so use VADOC for custody and the Virginia courts for formal case status.
Note: Confirm the inmate's VADOC location and visit approval before traveling to State Farm Correctional Center.
