Find MPRSC Release Records

Where MPRSC Releases Go

Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center is the local and regional adult jail for Middlesex County. The Middle Peninsula Regional Jail Authority, not the Middlesex Sheriff's Office, operates it. Its member jurisdictions are Middlesex, Essex, King and Queen, King William, and Mathews. That regional structure means the arresting agency, charging court, jail custodian, and office that supervises a person after release can be different organizations.

A person may leave MPRSC for the community after bond, dismissal, time served, or completion of a local sentence. Another person may leave physical custody but begin local pretrial supervision. A state-responsible prisoner may move to VADOC, while another detainee may transfer to a different jail, a hospital, or a federal custodian. A transfer ends the MPRSC stay but does not mean freedom from custody.

The public current roster does not disclose which of these outcomes followed a disappearance. A court order may explain why release was authorized, but the MPRSC movement record is the better source for the processed departure time and disposition.

Confirm a Middle Peninsula Release

Use the official Current Inmate Listing only to establish whether the person is presently visible. The wrapper links to a separate HTTP roster, so some browsers block the embedded frame as mixed content. Use the wrapper's new-window link if the frame is blank. A technical failure is not a negative result, and an absent name is not release proof.

1. Search the current list and note the exact name, admit date, court, bond, charge, and agencies shown.
2. Search Virginia Jail VINE for the same identity and note the reporting facility and event.
3. Call MPRSC at 804-758-2338 to ask whether the person remains in its custody and where a narrow written request should go.
4. Request the existing release, discharge, or custody-movement record with the admit and release date range.
5. Check the correct Middlesex court for the bond, disposition, sentence, or later order that explains the legal basis.
6. If the record identifies VADOC or another custodian, continue with that system instead of reporting a community release.

The Middlesex County released-inmate search guide explains how the local roster, VINE, courts, and state locator fit together. Virginia Jail VINE can report a release or transfer event, but its use of “release” remains specific to the reporting jail. Confirm the event with MPRSC.

MPRSC Release Record Fields

A focused request should describe records that already exist. Give the full name, date of birth when appropriate, booking or case number if known, approximate booking date, and a narrow date range. Ask for electronic copies and for nonexempt portions to be separated from protected information.

Virginia FOIA ordinarily calls for a response within five working days, though an agency may lawfully extend the response, redact exempt material, withhold under a stated exemption, or report that a record cannot be found. A request does not force the jail to create a new recent-release report. Ask for an estimate before costs exceed a chosen amount. Statutory request rights under § 2.2-3704 are limited to Virginia citizens and qualifying Virginia media, though an office may voluntarily respond to others.

About the MPRSC Facility

The official MPRSC home page identifies the facility at 170 Oakes Landing Road in Saluda and gives a rated capacity of 121. A dated 2019 procurement reported an average daily count near 200 and a budget of $6.8 million. Those two figures describe that historical procurement period and must not be treated as the current population or budget.

The roster shows Full Name, Age, Race, Sex, and Admit Date. A detail view may show a booking image, admit date and time, charge, offense date, court and court date, bond and bond type, charging agency, and arresting agency. It has no release-date field, released tab, archive, or official 24-hour or 72-hour view. No official MPRSC or Middlesex Sheriff jail-release app was found.

MPRSC Transfer Property Records

The facility's inmate property instructions offer a useful clue when a name vanished because of transfer. A confined person may authorize an outside person to collect property. The named picker must show identification and sign during the published property-pickup hours.

After transfer to another jail, a psychiatric hospital, VADOC, or a similar institution, MPRSC says the person completes a Disposition of Personal Property form. The designee is contacted and has thirty days to collect the property before destruction under policy. That procedure concerns transfer property, not routine community-discharge pickup, so it should support rather than replace the custody-movement record.

The source distinguishes its task hours too. General visitor-lobby hours are listed as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding observed holidays, while property pickup is listed as 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call before traveling because the purpose controls which schedule applies.

MPRSC Weekend Exits Are Temporary

A court-authorized weekender can leave the building and still have active time left to serve. Under the published program, a sentence of no more than forty-five active days may be served on successive weekends when authorized under Virginia Code § 53.1-131.1. MPRSC instructs participants to report at 6:00 p.m. Friday unless their papers state another time. It does not publish the Sunday departure hour.

Each Sunday exit is temporary, not a new final release. Lateness, prohibited substances, major rule violations, or a missed reporting date can lead to continuous service or a capias. When researching one of these cases, ask for the full nonconsecutive schedule and the final completion record. A roster snapshot between weekends can otherwise give the wrong impression.

MPRSC Community Custody Programs

MPRSC lists electronic incarceration and work release alongside Adult Literacy, GED, Life Skills, recovery, wellness, religious study, and related programs. Court authority, superintendent approval, and program rules govern participation. These programs can change where or how a person serves time without establishing full discharge.

The facility publishes charges for certain community custody options: EIP has a $100 administration charge plus $25 per day; work release has a $100 administration charge plus $15 per day; a $7 travel item is listed; and GPS work-release tracking is listed at $175 per week. These are program charges. They are not evidence of a universal release fee or an outstanding post-release obligation.

MPRSC Records and Contact

Start with the jail because it is the booking and movement custodian. The Middlesex Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff M. E. Sampson, is the better source for its own arrest or incident records, but it does not operate MPRSC. Ask the jail which office holds the exact record before sending a broad request.

For the sheriff's record, the street address is 2788 General Puller Highway, Saluda, and the mailing address is P.O. Box 207, Saluda, Virginia 23149. Keep the request narrow and distinguish the sheriff's arrest material from the regional jail's booking and release record.

MPRSC Court and VINE Cross-Checks

Middlesex General District Court handles misdemeanors and felony preliminary proceedings, while Circuit Court handles felony trials, sentences, and de novo appeals. A felony trail may begin in one court and continue in the other. The court record can explain dismissal, bond, active time, suspended time, probation, or later revocation, but it does not replace MPRSC's processed movement time.

Virginia Jail VINE adds an event channel for every Virginia local and regional jail, including MPRSC. If it indicates transfer, check the next system because local enrollment does not follow someone automatically into VADOC. If VINE is unclear, the written MPRSC record remains the local evidence to seek.
