Craigsville, VA Augusta Correctional Center View
Augusta Correctional Center is a Virginia state correctional facility in Craigsville, Augusta County, Virginia. It is operated by the Virginia Department of Corrections and primarily houses sentenced adult inmates committed to state custody, rather than people held only as local pretrial detainees. The facility is part of Virginia’s prison system and supports the state’s role in securely housing, supervising, and providing programs for eligible incarcerated individuals. For local arrests, bond, or short-term detention matters, records may begin with the arresting agency, the court, or a regional or county jail before any transfer to state custody.

How to Find an Inmate at Augusta Correctional Center
To find an inmate, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or Virginia Department of Corrections lookup. Inmate records typically list the person’s name, identification number, location, booking or admission date, charges or sentence information when available, and custody status. New records do not always appear immediately after arrest, booking, transfer, or intake. Processing can take several hours, and state custody records may take longer to update after a transfer from a local jail or court. If you cannot find the person, check again later and confirm the spelling of the name or any identification number.
