This private reference site is not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record.
Official Buchanan Records Contacts
Choose the office by the record and custody system involved. Buchanan County regional-jail questions do not follow the same route as VADOC prison records or Buchanan court orders.

Use General District Court records for most misdemeanor and preliminary felony matters. Use Circuit Court for circuit-level felony proceedings, final or sentencing orders, appeals, and certified copies. Recheck the official Virginia Courts directory before visiting because court contacts and hours can change.
For the right starting point, use the following routing guide:
- For a released person or historical SWVRJA record, the home page explains the custody-first search and records request.
- For community supervision, use the Parole & Probation guide and verify the assigned VADOC district.
- For someone who may have left Haysi today, use the 24-Hour Release List fallback steps because SWVRJA publishes no rolling release feed.
- For a scheduled date or custody alert, use the Projected Release Date and VINELink Check pages linked in the navigation and footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use VADOC. For a sentenced federal prisoner, use the BOP locator. Use ICE’s locator only for current immigration detention.
