Northern Neck Regional Jail Overview
Northern Neck Regional Jail is operated by the Northern Neck Regional Jail Authority at 3908 Richmond Road in Warsaw, Virginia. The Virginia Association of Regional Jails profile lists Michelle Lewis as superintendent and identifies the jail as serving Northumberland County, Richmond County, the Town of Warsaw, and Westmoreland County. The FY2024 Virginia Jail Cost Report also lists Gloucester County among the jurisdictions for which the jail held inmates in that fiscal year.
That regional identity is important for Westmoreland searches. An arrest may begin with the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office or a Westmoreland court in Montross, while the custody location may be NNRJ in Warsaw. State reports show the jail also has a major federal and out-of-state custody component, so the daily population should not be read as a Westmoreland-only count.
The Virginia Association of Regional Jails profile for Northern Neck Regional Jail is the matching facility image source used here.
The profile confirms the jail's regional role and gives the public facility phone, which matters because no fully inspectable official NNRJ public roster form was found during the research pass.
Northern Neck Regional Jail Capacity and Population
The State Board of Local and Regional Jails capacity report dated October 1, 2025 lists Northern Neck Regional Jail with 234 rated capacity, 516 actual capacity including double-bunking, 496 permanent beds, 20 temporary beds, 48 special-purpose beds, and an average daily population of 426.48 for July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. The same research cautions against treating a bed count as a simple safety or operating-capacity answer.
The FY2024 Jail Cost Report lists total LIDS average daily population as 427 and federal/out-of-state ADP as 232. It also reports 150 federal contract beds, 50 direct-supervision beds, 184 indirect-supervision beds, housing for females, air conditioning, and contract food service. Race, age, offense class, annual bookings, and average length of stay were not located in the official sources reviewed for this facility.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Northern Neck Regional Jail
No active official NNRJ public roster search form was inspectable during the research pass because the official jail pages repeatedly timed out. Search-indexed official pages confirm inmate-information topics such as general information, family visitation, inmate mail, telephone, property and money, books and magazines, release times, and weekenders, but they did not provide a verified public roster form or mugshot publication. Use this access chain instead of assuming a county jail roster exists.
- For current regional-jail custody, contact Northern Neck Regional Jail at 804-333-6419 and check its official inmate information index if available. Have the person's full legal name, date of birth, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- If the arrest happened in Westmoreland County and NNRJ cannot confirm custody, contact the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office. Administration is 804-493-0106, and dispatch/non-emergency is 804-493-8066.
- Use Virginia VINE or VINELink for custody and case notifications. VINE is a notification system, not a replacement for confirming custody with the jail.
- For sentenced state prisoners, people under VADOC supervision, or people housed in a local or regional jail under VADOC authority, search the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator by name or DOC ID.
- For court charges, hearing dates, or case outcomes after a Westmoreland arrest, use Virginia court case information or contact the Westmoreland courts in Montross.
- For sentenced federal inmates, search the BOP Inmate Locator. For federal pretrial custody, contact the U.S. Marshals Eastern District of Virginia, because federal detainees may be held in contract local or regional jails.
- For immigration custody, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ODLS searches by A-number or by name, country of birth, and birth date, and it should not be confused with a jail mugshot roster.
Northern Neck Regional Jail Address and Contact
For custody, visitation, mail, property, telephone, release-time, or money questions, start with NNRJ because it is the operating regional jail. For an arrest made in Westmoreland County, the sheriff's office can help route law-enforcement questions, but the jail custody record should be confirmed with NNRJ.

Visiting Someone at Northern Neck Regional Jail
The research did not verify a current NNRJ visitation schedule, video-visitation vendor, dress code, visit length, child-visitor rule, or fee schedule. Official NNRJ inmate-information pages are search-indexed with a Family Visitation topic, but live details were not retrievable. Treat every visit as verify-by-phone until the current official jail page or staff confirms the schedule and entry rules.
| Topic | Current Public Detail | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | No verified public schedule located | Call NNRJ at 804-333-6419 before traveling to Warsaw. |
| Video visitation | Vendor and fees not verified | Ask NNRJ whether video visits are available and what account setup is required. |
| Visitor ID | Requirements not located in inspected official pages | Confirm accepted identification and arrival procedure by phone. |
| Dress code | Current rule not verified | Do not rely on third-party summaries; request the current jail rule. |
| Child visitors | Approval and guardian rules not verified | Call ahead for minor-visitor requirements. |
| Attorney visits | Professional-visit process not verified | Attorneys should contact NNRJ directly for access procedures. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Northern Neck Regional Jail
The official NNRJ inmate-information index was search-indexed with Inmate Mail, Inmate Telephone, Property and Money, and Books and Magazines sections, but the live official details could not be inspected. Because jail mail scanning addresses, phone vendors, deposit vendors, and fees change, no vendor or fee is listed here without verification from NNRJ.
| Service | Verified Detail | Current Action |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate mail | Official Inmate Mail section exists in search snippets; no current mail format verified | Call NNRJ before mailing letters, photos, books, or magazines. |
| Phone / video | No official vendor or fee verified | Ask the jail which telephone or video system is currently used. |
| Money deposit | No official money vendor, kiosk, online deposit path, or fee verified | Confirm accepted deposit methods and limits with NNRJ. |
| Property | Official Property and Money topic appears in search snippets | Verify property release rules before bringing or requesting items. |
| Books and magazines | Official topic appears in search snippets; shipment rules not verified | Use current NNRJ rules before ordering publications. |
Booking and Intake at Northern Neck Regional Jail
NNRJ is the regional jail serving Westmoreland County, but the FY2024 Jail Cost Report says the facility itself does not operate dispatch and lists "jail books inmates" as no. For a practical Westmoreland arrest path, the arresting agency and court paperwork may start in or near Montross, while custody can route to Warsaw. If a person is moved from local jail custody into sentenced state-prison custody, VADOC becomes the primary locator rather than the regional jail.
Federal custody can also appear in a regional-jail setting. The FY2024 report lists 150 federal contract beds and federal/out-of-state ADP of 232 at NNRJ. A person held for a federal matter may require BOP or U.S. Marshals lookup even if the physical bed is in a Virginia regional jail.
About Northern Neck Regional Jail
State reports list NNRJ build dates as 1995, 1996, and 2000. The FY2024 Jail Cost Report shows an operating cost of $78.83 per inmate day, federal funding at 44.61% of total expenditures, state funding at 26.93%, and local operating funding at 0.00%. It also lists medical services at $998,327, or $6.36 per inmate day. The reported Inmate Programs expenditure was $0.00, but that should be treated as an accounting line, not proof that no programs or services exist.
Virginia's Board of Local and Regional Jails oversees standards for local and regional jail operations. The reviewed research did not locate a current official NNRJ PREA page, grievance procedure, or program page that could be quoted. For condition, medical, release, weekend, family liaison, or safety questions, use current NNRJ procedures and official jail contacts.
