Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Medical College of Virginia - MCV
Medical facilities do not usually maintain a public jail roster. Inmate rosters are normally maintained by the jail, sheriff’s office, or prison that has legal custody of the person. A roster typically lists the person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status. Records usually become searchable only after intake is completed, and processing can take several hours, so a recent booking may not appear immediately. Use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. If no record appears, check the Richmond City Justice Center, the arresting agency, or the Virginia Department of Corrections, depending on who has custody.
