King William County Sheriff Inmate Records
The King William County Sheriff is your first stop for jail records. Sheriff T. D. "Don" Lumpkin Jr. took office on January 1, 2024.

The Sheriff still books people, transports them, and holds the records. To verify a release, call the Sheriff's Office or send mail to the same address.
