How the Chesapeake County Inmate Search Works
Search the Chesapeake County roster by last name, first name or a word from the listed charge. Names may be spelled differently in booking records, so try the last name on its own first. The roster on this page is read from the inmate list the Chesapeake County sheriff publishes online, including the charge and bond fields the jail itself posts.
A new booking can appear several hours after the arrest, and a person transferred to another facility will drop off this list. Nearby county or independent city jails in Virginia, such as Accomack, Albemarle, Alexandria city, keep separate rosters; someone arrested across a county or independent city line will be booked there instead. Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads publish inmate searches.
This roster covers Chesapeake Correctional Center only; it is not a statewide Virginia inmate search. People sentenced to state prison are listed by the state department of corrections. Local jails are sheriff-run, including regional jails that serve several localities (Prince William-Manassas, Hampton Roads Regional, and others).
Posting Bail at Chesapeake Correctional Center
Virginia uses bondsmen and court-set conditions. A DC bondsman does not cover Fairfax automatically. Maryland PG County is another state. Regional jails have their own windows. Bail bond agents must be licensed in Virginia and approved to post bonds at this jail.
Bond amounts shown on the roster can change after the first court appearance. Criminal cases from this jail are generally heard at Chesapeake Circuit Court. CurrentPrisonList does not accept bail payments or recommend bondsmen.
If the person also has a hold from another county or independent city or state, posting the Chesapeake County bond may not lead to release. The jail or the defense attorney can confirm which holds are active.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Money for commissary and phone accounts at Chesapeake Correctional Center is deposited through the jail's approved vendor, kiosk or lobby payment options. Inmate phone calls and video visits run through the jail's contracted communications provider.
