The page above is the first stop when you do not know the booking number for a Giles County released inmate. It walks you through the live list and the search box.
Note: The local jail is small, so longer sentences are sent to the New River Valley Regional Jail in Dublin instead.
New River Valley Regional Jail Search
The New River Valley Regional Jail at 108 Baker Road, Dublin, VA 24084 holds most long-term Giles County inmates. The phone is (540) 643-2000. The site serves seven counties: Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Pulaski, and Wythe. The City of Radford is also part of the deal. The Inmate Lookup Tool runs at the jail website. Search by last name. Results show booking number, permanent ID, birth date, charges, bond, and a mugshot.
The lookup also shows the arresting county, so you can tell which Giles County released inmate cases are tied to the local Sheriff. Visits are scheduled online at the regional jail visit portal. On-site video visits are free. Remote visits cost 50 cents per minute and run in 15 or 30 minute blocks. Money can be added through JailATM or the lobby kiosk.
Giles Circuit Court Released Inmates Files
Felony cases for Giles County released inmates live with the Clerk of Circuit Court at the Giles County Courthouse in Pearisburg. The court is part of the 27th Judicial Circuit of Virginia. The Clerk holds criminal records, civil claims, deeds, wills, and marriage records. Use the Virginia Circuit Court case information system and pick Giles from the list. Search by name, case number, or hearing date. Criminal cases use the prefix CR.
For misdemeanor or traffic charges, use the General District Court case search. Many short jail terms end here and never make it to the state offender locator. Court files often hold the sentence length, the conviction date, and any probation terms. That data is the key to picking a release date.
State Prison Tools for Giles County Released Inmates
If a person from Giles County was sent to state prison, the case moves to the VADOC offender locator. The tool covers about 24,000 state inmates in 26 facilities. Type the first letter of the first name and the full last name, or use the seven-digit Offender ID. The result page shows the facility, the projected release date, and the offender status. The data is free and updates each day. VADOC does not list jail or juvenile cases, so a regional jail check is still needed for short stays.
The rules for state time live in Virginia Code Title 53.1. Section 53.1-24 makes the Director keep a register of every prisoner with the term, the offense, and the date received. Good conduct credit cuts time too.
Note: Some Giles County released inmates show up only under the New River Valley Regional Jail roster, not the VADOC list.
