Henrico County Jail East and West

Henrico runs two jail sites. The Henrico County Jail East and the Henrico County Jail West share the same shared system but house people in different parts of the county. Both fall under the Sheriff's Office. The shared lookup tool covers both at once. You do not need to know which site holds the person you are looking for. Type the name and the search returns the right entry.

The online lookup gives you a few search fields. You can look up by last name, first, and middle. You can search by Henrico County ID number. You can use a booking date for a calendar search, or pull a list of recent releases. There is a charge category filter too, which is useful when the name is common. The result page lists the booking number, the arresting agency, the charge list, the bond amount, and the next court date.

Each entry usually shows a color mugshot, the full legal name, aliases, date of birth, age, race, sex, height, weight, hair, eye color, and any scars or tattoos. The arrest location and the booking time also appear. Most entries refresh quickly after intake. A new arrest may take an hour or two to land on the public roster.

Bond posting can happen any hour at the jail. Cash, money orders, and some cards work. A bondsman can post for a fee. Once bond is paid, the person is released, and a court date is set.

Henrico County Police Division

The Henrico County Police Division is the main law enforcement agency for the county. Most arrests in Henrico start with a Henrico Police officer. After an arrest, the officer brings the person to the Sheriff's intake desk for booking. The Police Division also keeps arrest records and incident reports separate from the jail roster.

The records office can pull an incident report, a crash report, or an arrest report on request. There is a small fee for each copy. Some reports get held back when an investigation is still active.

If you need a written copy of a Henrico booking record, file a FOIA request with the Sheriff's Office or with the Police Division. The Virginia FOIA law in § 2.2-3700 gives you the right to ask for any non-exempt public record. Agencies have five working days to respond.

Henrico County Court Records and Bookings

Court records and booking records work together. Once a charge is filed, the case lands in either General District Court or Circuit Court. Misdemeanors stay in General District. Felonies start there at a preliminary hearing and then move up to Circuit Court if probable cause is found.

Pull a form before you go. The clerk's office runs faster when paperwork is ready.

Bond and Magistrate Process in Henrico

Every Henrico arrest moves through a magistrate. The magistrate sits at the court complex and works around the clock. Under Virginia Code § 19.2-82, a person taken into custody without a warrant must be brought before a magistrate without delay. The magistrate looks at probable cause and sets bond if a bond is allowed. If no bond is allowed, the person stays in custody until the next court date.

Bond can be a personal recognizance, an unsecured bond, a cash bond, or a secured surety bond. The amount depends on the charge, the person's prior record, and any flight risk factors. A bondsman can post for a fee, often ten percent of the bond amount. Once bond is paid, the jail releases the person and sets a court date a few weeks out.

The magistrate hearing is short. It is the first legal check on the arrest and the start of the 72 hour booking window.
