Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Sussex II State Prison
Members of the public can look up an inmate using the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster or the Virginia Department of Corrections inmate locator. Jail rosters commonly list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, while a state prison listing may show the inmate’s name, DOC number, current location, sentence information, and custody status. Records are not always searchable immediately after booking, intake, or transfer. Processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours, and state prison transfers may take longer to appear online. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility or VADOC for guidance.

What happens during the intake process at Sussex II State Prison and when will the inmate appear in the system?
