Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Inmate Search

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Overview

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center is an adult regional jail at 141 Fort Collier Road in Winchester, Virginia. It is operated by the Northwestern Regional Jail Authority, with day-to-day detention operations led by Superintendent Clay Corbin. The facility serves Clarke County, Fauquier County, Frederick County, and the City of Winchester. For Clarke County residents, that means adult arrestees who are not released by the magistrate or court are normally routed to this regional detention center rather than a separate Clarke-only jail.

The official facility history describes a regional system that grew from a main jail and work release center into a larger detention operation with community corrections and added housing. Security operations cover housing units, the Main Facility, Security Annex, Classification, and Booking. Support services include records, medical, mental health, transportation, property, food service, maintenance, inmate workforce, and information technology. Community corrections includes work release, home electronic monitoring, community inmate workforce, and programs.

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Capacity and Population

The official NRADC history page, inspected July 1, 2026, states that the facility has capacity for 1,027 inmates. Public research did not locate a current Clarke-only average daily population, annual Clarke County booking count, length-of-stay table, or demographic breakdown. The available public number is facility-wide capacity for the regional jail system that serves four jurisdictions.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

Use NRADC's official Locate an Inmate path first. That route points to the roster host at iml.nradc.com. Source inspection on July 1, 2026 found certificate and root-page access problems through command-line checks, so the exact search fields were not visible. Treat the NRADC route as official, but do not assume a particular field list. If the roster does not load or a result is unclear, call 540-535-3800.

1. Open the NRADC locate-an-inmate page and follow its official roster link.
2. Search with the inmate information the live form accepts, commonly a name or other identifier if the form provides one.
3. Confirm the person is held at Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center, not a state prison, federal facility, or immigration detention setting.
4. Use 540-535-3800 if the roster is unavailable, if the person was just arrested, or if the live profile does not answer the custody question.

Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center Address and Contact

The main facility contact is the practical fallback for current custody, visitor-list, mail, and account questions. Clarke County arrest records created by Clarke deputies are separate from jail records held by NRADC, so the facility is the custody contact while the Clarke County Sheriff's Office is the local law-enforcement records contact.

Booking and Intake at Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

NRADC receives arrestees and new incarcerations through the Booking Department. New arrivals are pat searched to prevent contraband from entering the facility, and property other than a single layer of clothing and money is removed and inventoried. After arrest, the person is taken before a magistrate for bond review. The magistrate decides whether bond will be issued, what type of bond applies, and whether a commitment order sends the person to the detention center.

After the magistrate's decision, charges are processed. NRADC says this can include entry into the jail system, fingerprinting, a booking photo, jail-issued clothing, hygiene items, and medical, mental health, and suicide screening. Once booking is complete, incarcerated people are given the opportunity to make two phone calls unless intoxication or violent behavior delays access. If the person remains in custody, classification sees the inmate within 72 business hours to address needs, orientation, custody level, and housing.

About Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

NRADC's history ties Clarke County custody to a regional model that developed from Winchester and Frederick County jail arrangements. A 1987 regional board planned the new detention center after overcrowding created safety and security concerns in area jails. The Work Release Center was completed in December 1990, allowing the first Clarke County inmates to transfer, and the Main Jail opened in 1991. Fauquier County joined the regional jail in 1998, and later construction added the Community Corrections Center and another main-facility housing unit.

Programs documented in the research include Work Release, Home Electronic Monitoring, Community Inmate Workforce, pretrial services through Old Dominion Court Services, and local probation services. Eligibility details vary by program, but the research consistently identifies the programs as local or regional alternatives connected to misdemeanor, non-violent, pretrial, sentenced, or reentry circumstances. Official sources reviewed did not locate active DOJ litigation or a current new-construction project after the 2006 and 2007 expansion period.
