The jail serves Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Pulaski, and Wythe counties, plus the City of Radford. The roster updates each day.

The VADOC inmate locator is a free tool for tracking any Radford released inmate who served state time. Search by name or offender ID. The results show the facility, the sentence, and the release date. You can also sign up for VINE alerts to get notified when a Radford released inmate moves or gets out.
Note: The NRVRJ roster mixes inmates from eight jurisdictions, so use the booking agency field to filter for Radford holds.

Felony charges in Radford go to the Radford Circuit Court. Misdemeanors and traffic charges go to the Radford General District Court. Both courts post case files online.

Court files often show the sentence, the credit for time served, and the projected release date. That makes them a top source when you trace a Radford released inmate. The CR prefix means a circuit criminal case. The GC prefix means general district criminal. You can search by name or by case number, and there is no fee to view the public records.
Radford Released Inmates Police Records
The Radford City Police Department books the arrests that feed the regional jail. The records unit holds incident reports, arrest reports, and the case notes for each Radford released inmate file.

VADOC tracks about 24,000 state inmates in 26 prisons. People sent up from Radford pass through one of these sites. The locator does not show local jail time, so check the NRVRJ roster first for short terms. State rules for prisons live in Virginia Code Title 53.1.
Note: A name match in VADOC is not always the right person, so confirm the date of birth or Offender ID before you act.
