Find Henrico Jail East Inmates

Henrico Jail East in New Kent

Henrico County's official location page places Henrico County Regional Jail East at 17320 New Kent Highway in Barhamsville. The facility sits inside New Kent County, which is why it appears in some New Kent jail searches. The same official page describes it as a New Generation jail on 76 acres, dedicated September 17, 1996, maintained and secured by the Henrico County Sheriff's Office.

The local routing point is different from the map point. New Kent County Sheriff's Office Components says New Kent does not operate a jail and uses Pamunkey Regional Jail Authority. Therefore, Henrico County Regional Jail East should be treated as a real facility in the county, with its own Henrico inmate search, but not as the first stop for a routine New Kent County arrest.

Henrico Jail East Contact

The official Henrico location page gives the address and main phone. It does not publish a rated capacity, visitation schedule, inmate-mail format, fee table, or public counter hours in the accessible text reviewed. For those operational details, contact the Henrico Sheriff's Office or use the official Henrico jail inmate information page before travel or payment.

The official Henrico Regional Jail East page screenshot confirms the Barhamsville location, regional history, direct-supervision description, and Henrico Sheriff's Office operation.

That official location page is the best source for the facility's identity and physical placement inside New Kent County.

Henrico Jail East Inmate Search

The correct online lookup for this facility is the Henrico Sheriff jail inmate information page. The public search interface includes a last-name field and a starting-letter dropdown. The page is a Henrico Sheriff's Office tool, so it is relevant to Henrico County Regional Jail East, not a replacement for Pamunkey's roster when the arrest and jail commitment are New Kent County matters.

1. Open the official Henrico Sheriff jail inmate information page.
2. Enter the last name or use the starting-letter dropdown when spelling is uncertain.
3. Compare the result to known case, arresting-agency, and custody facts before assuming it is the right person.
4. If the arrest was in New Kent County and no Henrico custody fact exists, check Pamunkey Regional Jail instead.

The search fields are narrow, so phone confirmation remains important when names are common, spellings vary, or the person may have been moved.

Henrico Jail East Facility History

Henrico's official page describes the jail as a state-of-the-art New Generation facility. It was dedicated September 17, 1996, under a regional agreement involving Goochland, Henrico, and New Kent counties. Henrico also describes it as the first campus-style jail in Virginia and says the facility uses direct supervision. Direct supervision means staff work in closer contact with housing units and daily inmate movement than in older linear jail designs, though specific housing rules are still set by the Sheriff and facility policy.

This history explains why the jail has a New Kent County address even though Henrico operates it. The building is not a county jail run by New Kent, and it is not the Pamunkey roster. For users, the distinction matters most at the start of the search. The facility location answers where the building sits. The custody authority answers which roster, phone line, public-record path, and visitation rules apply.

Henrico Jail East Population Count

Official Henrico location material reviewed for the facility did not publish a rated capacity for Henrico County Regional Jail East. The available population figure comes from the Prison Policy Initiative correctional populations file tied to Census 2020 vintage data, with a source date of December 31, 2013. It reports a local correctional population count of 519 for Henrico Regional Jail East. That is a useful facility-population data point, but it is not the same as a current rated capacity or a current daily inmate count.

Because the 519 figure is older and not a current official capacity, it should not be used to infer today's crowding or the number of New Kent inmates. It only supports the facility page's background and population context.

Henrico Jail East Visits

No official Henrico Jail East public visitation schedule, visit-length limit, video-visit vendor, dress code, money-deposit fee, or mail format was available in the reviewed source text. Those details should not be invented. A visitor should call Henrico County Regional Jail East or use Henrico Sheriff's Office instructions for the specific inmate's custody status before appearing at the Barhamsville campus.

Most jails require identity screening, conduct rules, and custody verification before visits, but local Henrico rules control. When a user is searching for a New Kent County arrestee, the visit should not be planned at Henrico Jail East unless Henrico custody has been confirmed.

New Kent and Henrico Custody Routes

New Kent County creates arrest and law-enforcement records through the Sheriff's Office and other arresting agencies. For local jail custody, the county's current published route is Pamunkey Regional Jail Authority. Henrico County Regional Jail East is a Henrico Sheriff's Office facility, so its roster should be used when the person is held by Henrico. A physical New Kent County address does not make it the New Kent jail roster.

This route split helps avoid a common error: using a facility's street address as the only clue. Custody authority, arresting agency, and current housing status should be checked together.

Henrico Jail East Booking Records

Henrico County Regional Jail East booking records belong to the Henrico custody system. The public search page did not provide a sample profile in the reviewed material, so no charge, bond, housing, mugshot, booking-date, or release-status fields should be promised for public search results. The Henrico disclaimer also warns users not to rely on the information for legal action and says juvenile offenders are not included.

If the person was arrested in New Kent County, formal charges and hearing dates may appear in Virginia court systems even while custody data sits at Pamunkey. If the person is in Henrico custody, Henrico Sheriff's Office records and the proper court record should be checked. A charge is an allegation or court filing, not a conviction, and a jail listing may change after release, transfer, court action, or correction by jail staff.

Direct supervision

A jail design and staffing model with officers working closer to housing units and daily inmate movement.

Regional jail

A local correctional facility that may serve more than one jurisdiction or be tied to regional agreements.

Custody authority

The agency or system responsible for the person's current confinement and public lookup route.

Juvenile exclusion

Henrico's search disclaimer says the public inmate information page does not include juvenile offenders.

Henrico Jail East Records Limits

Records access should match the agency that holds the record. Henrico jail custody questions route through Henrico Sheriff's Office systems. New Kent arrest reports and Sheriff's Office records route to New Kent Sheriff's Office FOIA. Pamunkey jail custody and New Kent inmate records route to Pamunkey, while formal charges and court dates route to Virginia courts. Mixing those channels can lead to missed records or wrong facility assumptions.

Virginia FOIA and law-enforcement disclosure rules may allow public access to some records while protecting juvenile, sealed, expunged, victim-sensitive, investigative, and criminal-history-database material. When a record is not visible online, a phone call or public-records request may be needed. For current New Kent County inmate population routing, the New Kent County jail inmate records page separates the Pamunkey, court, VADOC, BOP, ICE, and VINE channels.
