Search for an inmate's location and release date if they are incarcerated and under the custody of the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC). Inmates who are not under VADOC custody will not appear in the search results.
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA — The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) Office of Law Enforcement Services (OLES) is investigating the death of an inmate following an apparent attack by another inmate at Keen Mountain Correctional Center. The incident occurred early this morning.
If you would like a face-to-face visit with an inmate in a VADOC facility, you must get approval through a visitation application with the VA Department of Corrections prior to scheduling a visit.
Dial 911 for local authorities. Mail must include the inmate’s full name and offender ID. Use the specific facility’s address found on the VADOC Facility Directory.
The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) is the government agency responsible for community corrections and operating prisons and correctional facilities in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States.
As VADOC celebrates Second Chance Month, the agency celebrates the continued success of its Intensive Reentry Program (IRP), also referred to as a Cognitive Community Program, which contributes to a significantly lower recidivism rate for inmates who complete the program.
Once you receive approval to visit an inmate in a VADOC facility, you must schedule your visit online using the Visitation Scheduler. If you are a new user, you must first register using the “Register Today” option.
In 2025, Walters was the VADOC’s Senior Deputy Director. Prior, in 2024, he juggled performing as the agency’s chief law enforcement officer and serving as Deputy Director for Administration.
