Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Inmate Lookup

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Overview

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center is a regional adult detention center at 141 Fort Collier Road in Winchester. It is operated by the Northwestern Jail Authority and serves Clarke County, Fauquier County, Frederick County, and the City of Winchester. The NRADC homepage lists Clay A. Corbin as superintendent and describes the facility as providing correctional services to the member localities.

Fauquier County is included because the official Fauquier ADC page says inmates may be transferred to the regional jail for overpopulation, medical concerns, or other security reasons. That means a person arrested in Fauquier may not remain at the Warrenton ADC through the entire custody period. NRADC is governed by the Northwestern Jail Authority under Virginia Code 53.1-95.2, with daily operations delegated to the superintendent.

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Capacity and Population

The State Board of Local and Regional Jails 2025 Capacity Report lists NRADC with rated capacity of 556, actual capacity including double-bunking of 1,118, 877 permanent beds, 241 temporary beds, 155 special-purpose beds, and average daily population of 599.10 for July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. NRADC's official history page gives a separate construction-phase figure, stating that the current phase can hold 1,027 inmates. The state capacity row is the better source for the rated-capacity and ADP comparison; the history-page number helps explain physical expansion.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

For NRADC custody, start at the official How Do I page and choose Locate an Inmate. The research notes that the locator link points to iml.nradc.com, but text inspection produced certificate and loading issues, so the stable public instruction is to enter through the official NRADC page and call the facility if the locator fails. This is the correct regional channel for Fauquier inmates transferred out of the county jail.

1. Open NRADC's official How Do I page and select Locate an Inmate.
2. Search by the person's name using the official locator path that opens from NRADC.
3. Confirm that the result shows Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center rather than a different custody system.
4. If the locator does not load or the person is not found, call NRADC at 540-535-3800 and ask whether the person is in custody there.

If the person was just arrested in Fauquier and does not appear in NRADC, call the Fauquier ADC booking desk at 540-422-8700 and use the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office pages to confirm current county contact information. For sentenced state-prison custody, use the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator. For status notifications, use Virginia VINE or VINELink.

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Address and Contact

Use NRADC directly for regional-jail custody questions, inmate-locator problems, mail rules, visitation questions, and money-deposit issues. The Fauquier ADC page also published 540-665-6374 as a contact for transferred inmates, but the current NRADC homepage footer lists 540-535-3800 as the main facility phone. For county-side records after a Fauquier arrest, the sheriff's Professional Standards and Records page is the local public-records channel.

Visiting Someone at Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

NRADC family and friend visits are conducted by video, either on-site or off-site on demand. On-site family and friend video visits are no longer than 30 minutes, while off-site on-demand visits are no longer than 15 minutes. Visitors generally must be adults; a person under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 21. Professional visits follow a separate weekday schedule and are unavailable during the midday lockdown period.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

NRADC mail should be addressed to the inmate at the Winchester facility. The jail inspects mail for contraband, and personal mail is scanned and uploaded to the inmate tablet system. The ConnectNetwork facility page for NW Regional VA-Adult Detention lists Site ID 7 and services including AdvancePay Phone and Trust Fund.

The screenshot below shows that vendor listing, which is useful when matching the regional jail name to the ConnectNetwork facility account.

Use the Site ID when a deposit or automated phone process asks for the facility identifier. Family members should still confirm the person's custody location first, because Fauquier inmates may move between the county jail and the regional jail.

Booking and Intake at Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

NRADC's first-48-hours material gives more detail than the county jail's public intake summary. If an inmate is not released by the court or bonded, NRADC says Classification will see the person within 72 hours based on business days. That face-to-face interview is used to address medical and mental-health needs, provide orientation, explain visitation and programming, and determine custody level.

For Fauquier readers, the key point is transfer status. A person may start at Fauquier ADC after arrest or remand and later be housed at NRADC because of overpopulation, medical needs, security concerns, or regional housing management. If a lookup at one facility fails, check the other before assuming the person has been released.

About Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

NRADC's official history traces the local jail origin to the 1845 Frederick County Jail, regional planning in 1987 because of overcrowding, and construction of a 251-bed main jail and 99-bed work release center starting in 1989. The work release center was completed in December 1990, and the main jail opened in 1991. Fauquier joined the regional jail arrangement in 1998 while keeping its local Warrenton jail open for pretrial and selected convicted inmates.

Later expansion included conversion to a Jail Authority after the population approached 420 in March 2005, a 204-bed Community Corrections Center, and an 86-bed housing-unit expansion. The Community Corrections Center opened in July 2006 and the housing unit in August 2007. These details matter for Fauquier inmate searches because the regional jail is not merely a backup address; it is part of Fauquier's jail-capacity and classification system.
