Tazewell Records Contacts

This is a private reference, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official record.

Local Jail and Records Contacts

Contact the office that created the record. SWVRJA handles confinement and release events at the Tazewell Facility. The Sheriff's Office is the likely custodian for sheriff arrest or incident records. No public release-processing hours are listed for the jail.

Choose the Correct Release Route

The official office depends on the question. These links provide the detailed search steps before a call or request is made.

  • Use the home page for a released person and the full release-record request path.
  • Check parole and probation for active VADOC community supervision.
  • Use the 24-hour release list process for a same-day Tazewell Facility date range.
  • Check a projected release date or register through the VINELink check process.
  • Use the facility pages in the footer for the regional jail or Pocahontas state prison.
  • Use the BOP locator or ICE locator for the matching federal or immigration authority.
