Nottoway Correctional Center Inmate Locator

Nottoway Correctional Center Overview

Nottoway Correctional Center is listed by the Virginia Department of Corrections as a state facility at the Burkeville corrections address. It is not the local Nottoway jail and does not use Piedmont Regional Jail's JailTracker roster for ordinary public searches. The correct public search path is the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator, which covers people under Virginia corrections custody or supervision.

The VADOC facility directory lists the correctional center with a mailing address, public phone number, and warden. The current directory information reviewed for this build did not publish a rated capacity or detailed security-level description on the facility listing. For that reason, capacity statements should be limited to the sourced population summary and directory information, rather than borrowing figures from older non-directory sources or from PRJ.

The VADOC facilities and offices directory is the source that lists Nottoway Correctional Center and Nottoway Work Center at the Burkeville address.

The directory confirms the state-prison identity of the facility, which is the key difference from regional jail pages for recent Nottoway arrests.

Nottoway Correctional Center Capacity and Population

The most specific official population figure in the research is the VADOC Population Summary for May 2026. That report listed Nottoway Correctional Center with an average daily population of 1,021, out-of-state contract beds of 0, and total ADP of 1,021. The same summary listed statewide state-responsible inmate ADP in VADOC facilities at 22,612, out-of-state contract beds ADP at 33, and total ADP at 22,645 for May 2026.

The current VADOC facility directory reviewed for this project did not publish a rated capacity for Nottoway Correctional Center. That absence matters because rated capacity and average daily population are different measures. ADP is a population count for a reporting period. Rated capacity is a facility-capacity figure. The May 2026 ADP should not be converted into a capacity number.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Nottoway Correctional Center

Use the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator for Nottoway Correctional Center. This state system covers incarcerated people in VADOC institutions, probationers and parolees supervised by district offices, individuals assigned to institutional hospitals, people housed in local or regional jails under VADOC authority, and CCAP participants. VADOC states that the locator is updated daily, but it also warns that information may be inaccurate or outdated.

The official VADOC locator page provides the search fields for state-prison custody and supervision records.

Use the result location to confirm that the person is assigned to Nottoway Correctional Center, because VADOC custody can include facilities across Virginia and some people housed in local or regional jails under state authority.

1. Open the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator, not PRJ JailTracker.
2. Search by first and last name, or use the DOC ID number if available.
3. Use location, race, gender, or age-range filters only to narrow a broad result set.
4. Read and accept the required locator disclaimer before running the search.
5. Check the listed location, DOC ID, supervision status, and any release or custody information shown.
6. If the person is not found, check whether the case is still in PRJ custody, under a different spelling, or outside VADOC jurisdiction.

Nottoway Correctional Center Address and Contact

Contact the facility for state-prison visiting, mail, and facility-specific procedure questions. For a recent arrest from Nottoway County, first determine whether the person is still in regional jail custody at PRJ or has entered VADOC custody. A person can have a Nottoway criminal case but no longer be in the Nottoway local jail path after state sentencing and classification.

Visiting Someone at Nottoway Correctional Center

VADOC visitation rules apply to Nottoway Correctional Center. Visitors must be approved before visiting, and applications expire after three years. Minors need approval and must be accompanied by an approved adult. Scheduling uses the VADOC/GTL scheduler, and visits may be scheduled up to 14 days in advance. VADOC says institutions typically allow visits on Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays, but facility schedules and security requirements can change.

The VADOC visiting page explains the statewide approval and scheduling process used for state prisons.

Approval and scheduling are separate steps. A person on an approved list still needs to follow facility scheduling, identification, dress, search, and conduct rules for the specific visit.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Nottoway Correctional Center

State-prison mail rules are different from PRJ's Phoenix mail-processing address. VADOC says correspondence must include the inmate's first and last name, 7-digit state ID number, facility or institution name, facility address, and ZIP. Accepted correspondence includes letters, greeting cards, postcards, and appropriate photos. VADOC says money orders, cash, checks, stamps, prepaid envelopes, prepaid postcards, nude or semi-nude images, and contraband are not accepted through regular mail. General incoming correspondence is photocopied, and originals and photos are shredded after photocopying.

VADOC phone rules also differ from PRJ. Inmates may call numbers on an approved list, with a maximum call list of 15 numbers. AdvancePay is handled through ConnectNetwork/GTL at 1-800-483-8314. PIN debit deposits require the inmate's 7-digit state ID. VADOC money deposits use JPay, not PRJ commissary channels.

The VADOC sending money page publishes the JPay deposit methods and fee table.

Do not mail money to the facility or VADOC headquarters. VADOC directs money-order deposits to JPay and requires the inmate's state ID number for deposits.

Reception and Classification at Nottoway Correctional Center

Nottoway Correctional Center is not the booking point for ordinary street arrests in Nottoway County. A new arrest normally begins with local law enforcement and, if detention is required, regional jail booking at PRJ. A person reaches VADOC after sentencing, state-responsible commitment, classification, or another state corrections placement. At that stage, the record path changes from local booking and bond information to state custody, institutional assignment, approved visitor lists, state mail rules, phone accounts, and JPay deposits.

The VADOC locator may also show people under supervision or housed outside a traditional prison setting under VADOC authority. For users, the practical test is the custody authority shown by the source. PRJ custody means the regional jail roster and PRJ records are the first stop. VADOC custody means the state locator, state visitation approval, VADOC mail rules, and state money procedures apply.

About Nottoway Correctional Center

Nottoway Correctional Center is part of the state corrections footprint physically located in Nottoway County. That footprint is separate from the county's local arrest and regional jail system. Research also identified Nottoway Work Center at the same Burkeville address and phone, but the work center is a separate VADOC listing and should not be treated as PRJ work release. The May 2026 VADOC population summary shows that the correctional center population is a major part of the correctional presence in the county, even though it is state custody rather than the local jail population.

Recent official and high-authority research did not provide a facility-specific program list or rated capacity in the current VADOC directory. A May 2025 Virginia news report noted vetoed heating and air conditioning renovations at Nottoway Correctional Center, but that item should be treated as recent context rather than a VADOC operating rule. For day-to-day public tasks, the directory, locator, visiting, mail, phone, and sending-money pages are the source-matched channels.
