Henrico Regional Jail East: 804-652-1120. Henrico Regional Jail West: 804-501-4581. Both sites are at addresses in Henrico County but serve Goochland for housing.

Goochland County Circuit Court Records
Felony case files for Goochland County released inmates live with the Clerk of Circuit Court at the Goochland County Courthouse. The clerk holds land records dating back to 1728, deed recordings, UCC filings, marriage records, probate files, business name filings, and military discharge records. Use the Virginia Circuit Court case information system and pick Goochland from the list. Search by name, case number, or hearing date.
For misdemeanor or traffic charges, use the General District Court case search. Many short jail terms end in District Court and never make it to the state offender locator. The image below is from the Goochland County official website, the right place to find a court phone number.
