NRVRJ Bland County Releases
New River Valley Regional Jail is the primary detention facility for a Bland County arrest or local jail sentence. The Bland County Sheriff creates the arrest or incident record, but the regional authority books, houses, and releases the person. That split determines where a release request should go. A person can leave NRVRJ through recognizance, unsecured or secured bond, time served, sentence completion, or another court order. The jail stay can also end through transfer to VADOC, another jail, USMS, BOP, or ICE.
The public result's Release Date confirms that NRVRJ recorded an exit for that booking. It does not state, by itself, whether the person went home or to another custodian. Match the booking number to the court case and ask the jail for the release type or destination when that difference matters. A transfer is still custody. A court case can remain pending after a valid bond release.
A name missing from the ordinary roster is not release proof. Select “Include released inmates,” read the date, and confirm any transfer destination.
Search NRVRJ Released Inmates
The official NRVRJ lookup has separate name and identifier modes. Name mode accepts first name, last name, and date of birth. Identifier mode accepts a booking number, permanent number, state ID, county ID, FBI number, or ICE number. Each mode has its own “Include released inmates” checkbox. An ICE number in the identifier menu is merely a search key and does not prove an immigration hold.
- Search the full name without extra filters to test the current result.
- Run the same search again with released inmates included.
- Add the date of birth or use a known booking or permanent number if names conflict.
- Match the booking row and read the Release Date column.
- Check the Bland court case, then call NRVRJ if the reason or destination is not shown.
The result headings are Inmate Name, Booking Number, Permanent ID, Date of Birth, and Release Date. Multiple bookings can create multiple rows, so do not merge them. A blank release field is not a projected date. The service uses plain HTTP and a nonstandard port; if a browser blocks it, enter through the official inmate resources page.
The released-inclusive screen shows the exact local search option used for a Bland County booking.
The application publishes no real-time cadence or archive cutoff, so an absent older row must be followed with a records request.
NRVRJ Release Record Request
Ask NRVRJ for records created by the jail. A focused request can seek the booking and release date and time, release type or authority, destination if recorded, and booking photograph. Give a name plus date of birth or booking number and an approximate date range. Request electronic copies when practical and ask for a cost estimate before work exceeds a set amount.
The jail's public FOIA page currently lacks full submission detail. Call first to identify the FOIA officer and current channel. Do not send sensitive identifiers to an unverified address. Virginia FOIA concerns existing records and does not require staff to answer open-ended questions or create a new report. Protected medical, juvenile, security, sealed, expunged, and investigative content may be redacted or withheld.

The Bland Sheriff should receive requests for its arrest or incident record, not a jail file it did not create. The appropriate Bland court can supply the bond, disposition, sentencing, or later order. Together, those records can show both the physical exit and the legal event behind it.
Where NRVRJ Releases Go
A community release can follow a personal-recognizance decision, bond, time served, sentence completion, or another judicial directive. NRVRJ's bonding and bail information describes four magistrate outcomes: personal recognizance, unsecured bond, secured bond, or ineligible. Once a person is committed, jail staff cannot lower the bond or recommend a professional bondsman.
| Next result | Correct confirmation |
|---|---|
| Community after bond | NRVRJ release entry plus Bland bond order |
| VADOC transfer | NRVRJ destination and VADOC locator |
| Federal handoff | NRVRJ transfer record, federal docket, then BOP when designated |
| Immigration handoff | NRVRJ destination and current ICE confirmation |
| Unknown result | Phone confirmation and written release-record request |
An NRVRJ “release” may be an ICE transfer rather than release into the community. ICE's locator is a current-location service, not a complete historical archive. A missing ICE result cannot prove freedom. Ask the jail whether a receiving agency appears in its record.
NRVRJ Release Times and Property
The jail does not publish a standard release hour, weekend or holiday rule, exit door, or family waiting location. A person waiting in Dublin should call 540-643-2000 instead of assuming a gate or time. Court paperwork, bond processing, identity checks, transport, and outside holds can affect when an authorized exit is completed.
NRVRJ's account information says a released person may have remaining funds mailed or may elect in-person pickup. The site does not publish a complete release-property process. Ask about personal property and funds in the same direct call, especially when pickup requires identity proof or a separate visit.
The official directions place NRVRJ off Interstate 81 Exit 98 near Route 100 and Newbern Road. No source guarantees transit at the jail gate. Families and support contacts should coordinate travel with the person and the facility rather than relying on an estimated release time.
NRVRJ Regional Jail History
The regional structure explains why there is no operating standalone Bland County jail in the official Virginia jail directory. Construction began in 1997. NRVRJ accepted its first 248 prisoners on April 27, 1999 after participating local facilities closed, and an expansion was completed in 2010. Bland is a member locality even though the jail sits in Pulaski County.
The state report also lists 229,913 housed days. These figures describe the regional facility's use and capacity, not annual releases or Bland-only bookings. Older events from before the regional jail opened may require a predecessor or local records custodian.
NRVRJ Release to ICE
An NRVRJ release entry can reflect a handoff to immigration custody. The identifier search includes an ICE Number option, but that menu label does not prove a detainer. Ask the jail whether the release record identifies ICE or another receiving agency as the destination.
The ICE Online Detainee Locator reports current detention and is not a historical release archive. No result cannot prove that the person entered the community. The jail transfer record is the key bridge, followed by current confirmation from the responsible immigration office or facility.
Confirm NRVRJ Release Status
The best evidence chain uses more than roster absence. Start with the released-inclusive row. Match its booking number. Check the correct Bland court order. Then obtain direct jail confirmation or the underlying ledger when the destination matters. If VADOC, BOP, USMS, or ICE received the person, switch to that agency's system and describe the event as a transfer.
The Bland County released inmate search explains how local, state, court, notification, and federal sources fit together. That broader path is useful when the last custodian is uncertain. For a known NRVRJ booking, the regional jail remains the first and best source.
Note: A release date marks the end of the listed NRVRJ stay, while the court and destination record explain what legally followed.
NRVRJ Courts and Release Proof
Bland General District Court commonly supplies the initial bond record, misdemeanor disposition, or preliminary felony event. Bland Circuit Court supplies felony final orders, appeals, and later sealing or expungement proceedings. Neither clerk should be asked to guess the precise jail-door time. Request the signed order that authorized or explains the legal result, then pair it with NRVRJ's dated release entry.
A dismissal can end one charge without defeating a separate hold. A secured-bond order authorizes release only after its conditions are met. “Time served” can explain how the court treated a sentence, while credits and jail processing determine the actual exit. These distinctions are why an official row plus a court record is more useful than a screen capture of a name missing from the current roster.
