Start With the BRRJA Lynchburg Roster
The official local custody source is the Blue Ridge Regional Jail Authority Lynchburg JailTracker roster at omsweb.public-safety-cloud.com. BRRJA links that portal from its public site as the route to locate LADC inmates. The Lynchburg Adult Detention Center is a regional/local adult detention center operated by BRRJA, not a stand-alone county jail run by the Lynchburg Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Donald T. Sloan's office handles court security, civil process, inmate transportation, and related sheriff duties, while BRRJA operates the jail and is the direct jail-records custodian.
The roster is a JailTracker public app for Lynchburg Adult Detention Center custody. It is the place to begin when asking how to find someone in the Lynchburg jail after a recent arrest, court commitment, local sentence, transfer hold, or work-release placement. Official materials did not identify a refresh interval or a fixed released-inmate retention window, so avoid assuming that a booking appears immediately or remains visible for a set number of days. No official Lynchburg Sheriff's Office or Lynchburg Police mobile app was located for inmate roster, warrant, or jail-record searches. If the online roster shows a loading shell, captcha, spelling issue, recent release, or transfer, use the phone and public-records fallback steps below.
How to Use the Lynchburg County Inmate Roster
Use the Lynchburg-specific portal rather than a different BRRJA member locality. BRRJA also serves other localities, and the Amherst, Bedford, Campbell County, and Halifax portals are not the right starting point unless a transfer or separate arrest connects the person to those facilities.
- Open the BRRJA Lynchburg facility page or the official Lynchburg Adult Detention Center page, then choose the Locate LADC Inmates search link.
- Search by last name first. Add a first name if the last name returns too many possible matches.
- Complete any captcha or verification prompt that the public app displays before submitting the search.
- Open the matching profile or row if the roster provides one. Compare name, booking identifiers, facility, booking date, charges, court fields, bond information, holds, and release status where those fields are enabled.
- If no record appears, check alternate spellings, aliases, recent release, transfer, state-prison commitment, federal custody, or immigration custody before treating the search as complete.
Lynchburg County Roster Search Fields
The public Lynchburg JailTracker app is a Blazor roster interface. Text inspection did not render a full live public profile, but the official client model and visible labels show the following search controls and roster keys. Some fields are user-facing, while others are path or profile keys used by the app.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Use last name as the first search field because the client supports last-name lookup. |
| First Name | Text | Unspecified | Add first name to narrow common surnames or similar records. |
| Search Type | Option | Unspecified | The client includes search-type controls, though the fully rendered Lynchburg setting was not captured in text. |
| Captcha Code | Text | Conditional | The client supports captcha image, captcha key, validation, and a captcha-required flag. |
| AgencyName | Hidden/path value | Yes by URL | The Lynchburg portal path is Blue_Ridge_Regional_VA_Lynchburg. |
| OffenderViewKey | Hidden/profile key | Yes for profile view | Used by the app to open a single offender profile. |
| Locate/Search | Button | Not applicable | Runs the search or profile action in the roster app. |
What a Lynchburg County Inmate Profile Shows
A roster record is a jail custody record, not the final court record. The JailTracker model for Lynchburg supports or references the fields below. Because the live profile was not fully rendered in text inspection, treat some items as supported roster fields rather than a guarantee that every field appears for every inmate.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | First, middle, and last name fields used to identify the person in the roster. |
| Jacket or Booking Number | A JailTracker-style person or booking identifier tied to the custody record. |
| Arrest Number | An arrest event number if the public configuration displays it. |
| Facility | The facility or facility ID, which should point to Lynchburg Adult Detention Center for this portal. |
| Original Booking Date | The original booking date and time recorded by the jail system. |
| Final Release Date | A final release date and time if the record is released and the agency displays that value. |
| Image | Booking photo support exists in the platform, although agency settings may hide images. |
| Charges | Charge descriptions, arrest codes, counts, crime type, or crime level where configured. |
| Bond | Bond type, bond amount, fine amount, or no-bond information when posted. |
| Court Fields | Court name, court type, court date, court time, case number, control number, or warrant number where configured. |
| Status and Holds | Charge status, custody status, hold type, hold reason, detainers, or hold expiration where public settings allow. |
| Arresting Agency | The law-enforcement agency connected to the booking or charge. |
Finding County, State, Federal, and Immigration Inmates
The Lynchburg roster covers local and regional jail custody at LADC. It should not be used as the only source for a sentenced state prisoner, a federal inmate, a person in U.S. Marshals custody, or an immigration detainee. VADOC is the statewide source for sentenced state prisoners and supervisees, and its locator includes people in state facilities, probationers and parolees, institutional hospital assignments, local or regional jail inmates under VADOC authority, and CCAP participants. VINELink is available in Virginia for custody and case notifications.
| Custody | Where to Look |
|---|---|
| Local pretrial or local sentence | BRRJA Lynchburg JailTracker roster for Lynchburg Adult Detention Center. |
| Sentenced state prisoner or supervisee | Virginia Department of Corrections locator. |
| Custody notification | Virginia VINELink for custody status and notification. |
| Sentenced federal inmate | Federal BOP locator, covering BOP records from 1982 to the present. |
| Federal pretrial or transport custody | U.S. Marshals Western District of Virginia channels; the Lynchburg office phone is 434-847-4859. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System by A-number or biographical search. |
Lynchburg County Jail Facility and Contact Card
Lynchburg has one confirmed detention facility for this locality: Lynchburg Adult Detention Center. The facility is regional-jail custody operated by the Blue Ridge Regional Jail Authority. Capacity references require care: official materials cite a rated capacity of 429, older planning materials cited 655 actual beds, and the 2024 PREA context reported a 2024 average daily population of 397 total. Those numbers are not the same as current available beds.

Booking Process in Lynchburg County
Booking usually begins with an arrest by Lynchburg Police, another law-enforcement agency, or a court process such as a warrant or capias. Virginia magistrates issue warrants, admit people to bail, commit people to jail, and conduct bail hearings. The District 24 magistrate office at 524 Ninth Street serves the Lynchburg area, and the court directory lists Chief Magistrate Joshua Hooks with phone 434-847-1329.
If a person is not released immediately, commitment is to Lynchburg Adult Detention Center. Jail intake may include identity processing, property handling, search, clothing or contraband steps, a booking photo, fingerprints, medical or mental-health screening, classification, and housing assignment. Public local sources did not publish a full LADC intake checklist, so specific property limits or timing should be confirmed with the facility. The roster may show the booking after jail processing, but no official source promises a minute-by-minute update schedule.
Booking charges can change after court review. The Commonwealth's Attorney may file, amend, reduce, dismiss, or decline charges after the jail record is created. For the final case path after arrest, use Virginia court portals and clerk channels rather than relying only on the jail roster.
Visitation Hours and Housing-Unit Schedule
BRRJA publishes a Lynchburg visitation schedule by housing unit. Visitors should check in at least 30 minutes before the scheduled visit and confirm the inmate's current unit before traveling. The BRRJA page also states that parking is available on site. Attorney, court, and legal visits may follow different procedures than social visitation.
| Day | Housing Unit | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Housing Unit B | 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. |
| Monday | Housing Units I, J, and K | 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. |

How to Contact a Lynchburg County Inmate
Personal mail is routed through the BRRJA scanning process. The published mail format is Facility Name, Inmate Name, Inmate Number, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. The envelope must include the full facility name and state, the inmate's full name and identifier, and the sender's full name with a physical return address. Personal mail sent directly to the jail site is returned except for legal mail and money orders. Legal mail should not be sent to the Phoenix scanning address.
Phone service is through ViaPath and ConnectNetwork. BRRJA lists collect, prepaid collect, and debit calls at $0.16 per minute, international calls at $0.50 per minute, a 15-minute maximum call length, a $5.95 live-agent funding fee, and a $2.95 IVR or website funding fee. Debit credits are sold through commissary, are non-refundable, and are not usable outside BRRJA facilities.
Commissary, Inmate Funds, and Records Requests
Commissary services are provided through Oasis/JailCanteen, and BRRJA links account funding to JailATM. The captured JailCanteen page showed a weekly purchase limit of $200.00, but no full JailATM fee schedule was captured in official text. Confirm custody status and the correct facility before sending money, buying commissary, or scheduling a visit.
When the roster does not answer a records question, use the BRRJA FOIA route for jail records. Virginia FOIA requests do not require special wording, but they must identify existing records with reasonable specificity. BRRJA names Patricia Stevens as FOIA Officer at 434-847-3100 ext. 1224 and foiarequest@brrja.state.va.us. Police incident verification is a separate Lynchburg Police Records Unit process and may be limited by law-enforcement exemptions.
Note: Confirm current custody with LADC or BRRJA before sending funds, relying on a roster status, or traveling for visitation.
