Find Duffield Facility Inmates

Duffield Facility Jail Overview

Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority - Duffield Facility is operated by SWVRJA and serves the authority's regional jail network. The research does not identify it as the primary Dickenson County facility, but it belongs in the Dickenson County inmate population site because the same public JailTracker roster covers all SWVRJA facilities. A person who starts with a Dickenson County arrest may see Duffield as the listed facility if housing or classification places the person there.

Duffield is a local and regional jail facility, not a state prison. It can hold pretrial detainees, sentenced misdemeanants, probation-violation detainees, and other regional commitments handled through SWVRJA. Sentenced felony prisoners who have transferred to the Virginia Department of Corrections are searched through VADOC, not the Duffield page or the SWVRJA jail roster.

The distinction helps prevent a common search error. A Dickenson County charge can lead to a regional jail record, a court record, a state prison record after sentencing, or a federal or immigration locator record if a different authority is involved. Duffield is part of the first category: regional jail custody.

Duffield Facility Jail Capacity

The State Board of Local and Regional Jails Capacity Report dated October 1, 2025 lists Southwest Virginia Regional Duffield with 760 total rated capacity and 405 operational capacity. The research file did not locate a Duffield-specific current population count, admissions total, or demographic table comparable to the Haysi PREA report.

Those figures are useful for facility scale. They should not be read as a real-time inmate count or as a Dickenson County population figure. SWVRJA facilities serve regional commitments, so a roster user should rely on the current facility field in JailTracker when location matters.

Duffield Facility Roster Search

The correct current-custody search for Duffield is the SWVRJA Current Facility Inmates page and the linked SWVRJA JailTracker roster. There is no separate Dickenson County roster for Duffield. JailTracker can require JavaScript, and the research found that a text browser did not load the roster cleanly.

1. Open the SWVRJA current-inmate page from the official authority website.
2. Use the JailTracker roster link and search by surname first.
3. Add a first name or captcha response if the app requires it.
4. Review the facility field for Duffield, Haysi, Abingdon, or Tazewell rather than assuming the person is at Haysi.
5. If the person is missing, check sheriff weekly commit PDFs for recent Dickenson County bookings, then switch to VADOC, BOP, ICE, or VINE if the custody type points outside SWVRJA.

For Dickenson-specific current and recent custody channels, the Dickenson County jail inmate records page explains JailTracker, sheriff commit reports, phone fallback, public-records requests, and state or federal locators. The Dickenson County inmate population page provides the broader facility map.

The roster starting point is documented on the SWVRJA Current Facility Inmates source page, which sends the public to JailTracker for authority-wide current custody.

That source is the same whether the roster result lists Duffield, Haysi, Abingdon, or Tazewell.

Duffield Facility Contact

Contact Duffield directly for facility-level questions such as whether a listed person is still housed there, how to route legal mail, or whether video visitation is available for that person. Contact the Dickenson County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Jeremy Fleming, for sheriff records, local arrest reports, and law-enforcement business. A court or clerk handles formal case status and disposition questions after charges are filed.

The SWVRJA contact page lists Duffield with its public address, phone, fax, and directions link.

The same contact page also lists Haysi, Abingdon, and Tazewell, which helps families match a JailTracker facility field to the right public phone line.

Duffield Facility Visitation

Duffield visitation follows SWVRJA's published video visitation model. Remote sessions are handled through Smart Communications, last 15 minutes per session, and require a prepaid account. The authority warns that rules must be read before scheduling and that sessions may be refused, changed, or canceled for safety, security, identification, disturbance, holiday, or operational reasons.

The SWVRJA video visitation source page gives the Smart Communications setup path and remote visit rules used by the authority.

Before paying for a visit, confirm the JailTracker profile still lists Duffield and that the person is eligible for a session.

Duffield Facility Mail Funds

SWVRJA regular mail uses Smart Communications MailGuard. For Duffield, ordinary personal mail is sent to the facility-specific MailGuard P.O. box in Seminole, Florida. Legal mail and money orders use the Duffield mailing address. This split is easy to miss because the public contact address and the regular-mail scanning address are not the same.

The SWVRJA inmate funds page documents kiosk deposits, cash bill denominations, real-time posting, and the cash deposit fee.

For mailed money orders, use the Duffield legal-mail and money-order address rather than the MailGuard scanning address.

Duffield Facility Records Alerts

Public-record requests should go to the agency that holds the record. SWVRJA holds regional-jail records, including facility records for Duffield. The Dickenson County Sheriff's Office holds sheriff records and weekly arrest or commit report material. Courts hold formal charges, hearings, dispositions, fines, and case orders.

The SWVRJA FOIA page is the authority source for jail records requests. The Virginia VINE service is the better tool for custody status notification. VINE does not replace the roster or a FOIA request, but it can alert registered users to release, transfer, or custody status changes when available.

Virginia law also addresses adult arrestee identity, charge-status information, and routine booking photos as law-enforcement records, subject to exceptions. Juvenile, sealed, confidential, active investigative, safety-sensitive, and court-restricted records may be withheld or redacted.

Duffield Facility Intake Rules

Someone listed at Duffield may have entered through a local arrest, court commitment, probation violation, or transfer within SWVRJA. During intake, jail staff create or update records, inventory property and funds, conduct required screening, classify the person, and assign housing. Those steps are governed by Virginia minimum standards for jails and lockups.

The research did not locate a Duffield-only booking manual, so the safest reading is to use SWVRJA sources and Virginia jail standards together. The public roster may show current custody and selected case or charge fields. It should not be treated as a full court record. Court status must be checked in Virginia court systems or with the correct clerk.
