Mathews County Jail Roster
Mathews County does not run a separate county jail roster. Current local custody for Mathews arrests is searched through the Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center current inmate listing. MPRSC serves Mathews County along with Essex, King and Queen, King William, and Middlesex, so the roster is regional. It is still the official public starting point for a Mathews County inmate record when the person is in pretrial custody, serving a local sentence, or held at the regional jail after arrest.
The roster is not a full criminal-history search. It does not replace court records, state prison records, federal inmate records, or immigration custody records. A person can be absent from the Mathews County jail roster because intake is not complete, release has occurred, the person moved to Virginia Department of Corrections custody, or another authority holds the case. The Mathews County Sheriff's Office remains the local arrest and FOIA agency, while MPRSC runs the jail roster, visitation, booking profile, money, mail, and phone functions.
The MPRSC listing page warns that the embedded roster can load slowly and offers a direct roster window. The direct grid is public and free. It showed a current multi-page roster during the July 1, 2026 research review, but MPRSC does not publish a fixed refresh schedule or a rule for how long released people remain visible. Treat the list as a current-custody tool, not an archive.
Use Mathews County Roster
The MPRSC roster is a searchable data grid, not a one-box search form. Users filter rows by column, sort the grid, restore hidden fields through the column chooser, and open a linked name for the full inmate profile. If the embedded MPRSC page stalls, the direct Middle Peninsula roster grid is the same public roster view.
- Open the MPRSC current inmate listing. If the frame does not load, open the direct grid in a new window.
- Use the Full Name filter row first. The filter menu supports contains, begins with, ends with, equals, does not equal, does not contain, and wildcard-like search.
- Narrow common names with Age, Race, Sex, or Admit Date. For a cleaner name search, use Column Chooser to restore First Name, Middle Name, or Last Name.
- Click the linked full name to open the inmate detail page. That profile is where the mugshot, admit time, confining agency, charges, court dates, bond, charging agency, and arresting agency appear.
- If the person is not listed, call MPRSC for custody status and call the Mathews County Sheriff's Office for Mathews arrest or FOIA questions.
New arrests may not appear until identification, booking, and data entry are complete. The roster also may not show a person who was released by summons, released after magistrate action, transferred, or held by a different agency.
Mathews County Search Fields
The visible roster fields are compact, but the grid has useful hidden columns. A Mathews County inmate record search can start broad with a name, then move to a structured field if the visible result list is too wide. The hidden Primary Charge fields can help, but the linked profile should be used for the fuller charge grid.
The MPRSC direct roster grid screenshot below shows the filter row, visible columns, pager, export controls, and column chooser used for current jail records.
The grid view matters because it explains why a Mathews County roster search is done by filtering columns rather than submitting one form.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Text filter | No | Visible column. Filter options include contains, begins with, ends with, equals, does not equal, and like. |
| Age | Text or numeric filter | No | Visible column. Useful for common names. |
| Race | Text filter | No | Visible column. Observed public codes include B and W, with no posted legend. |
| Sex | Text filter | No | Visible column. Observed public codes include M and F. |
| Admit Date | Date filter | No | Visible column. List dates use month/day/year style. |
| First, Middle, Last Name | Hidden text columns | No | Available through Column Chooser for more precise name filtering. |
| Primary Charge | Hidden text column | No | Can be restored, but the detail page has the fuller charge table. |
| Primary Charge Court Type | Hidden text column | No | Can be restored from the column chooser. |
Mathews County Inmate Profile
A public MPRSC profile is more detailed than the roster row. The row gives a fast way to find a person, while the profile is the working jail record view for booking and case-status clues. It can show a mugshot, personal identifiers, admit details, the confining agency, and a charge grid. It does not show home address, Social Security number, driver's license number, medical status, juvenile data, or a plain public booking number.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Linked roster name and profile header. |
| Mugshot | Booking photo on the profile, with a larger-image popup when available. |
| Date of Birth | DOB in month-day-year format on the public profile. |
| Race and Sex | One-letter race and sex codes, with no official code legend found in the roster page. |
| Eye, Hair, Height, Weight | Physical identifiers recorded during intake. |
| Admit Date and Time | Date and time the person was admitted into MPRSC custody. |
| Confining Agency | Agency or facility responsible for confinement. |
| Charges | Charge grid with charge, offense date, court type, court date, bond, bond type, charging agency, and arresting agency. |
| Bond | Bond amount or bond type per charge when populated. |
| Release Status | Not shown as a separate field. Current custody is inferred from presence on the current roster. |
Locator difference: The Mathews County jail roster covers current regional jail custody. The VADOC locator covers sentenced state custody and supervision, while BOP and ICE cover federal and immigration systems.
Mathews County Custody Channels
A Mathews County inmate lookup can pass through several systems. The correct one depends on custody status, not only the county where the arrest began. Pretrial and short local-sentence custody generally belongs in the MPRSC roster. State prison and supervision records move to the Virginia Department of Corrections Inmate and Supervisee Locator. Federal sentenced custody is searched through BOP. Immigration detention is searched through ICE ODLS when applicable.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Current local or regional jail | MPRSC current inmate listing | Current inmates held at Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center. |
| Jail custody by phone | MPRSC at 804-758-2338 | Custody, visitation, money, mail, and active roster questions. |
| Mathews arrest or FOIA fallback | Mathews County Sheriff's Office at 804-725-7177 or P.O. Box 190 | Sheriff's Office records and local FOIA routing. |
| Sentenced state custody | VADOC locator | VADOC institutions, supervision, CCAP, and some VADOC-authority jail placements. |
| Victim notification | Virginia VINE | Custody-status notification supplement, not a replacement for the jail roster. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator or USMS for pretrial federal matters | Federal prisoners from 1982 to present, plus separate marshal custody questions. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Immigration detainees searched by A-Number or biographical information with country of birth. |
The MathewsCo Sheriff app belongs in the tips and alerts lane. Official source review did not find an app-only inmate roster, warrant search, mugshot gallery, or records request portal.

Mathews County Booking Records
A Mathews arrest becomes a regional jail record only if the person is admitted to MPRSC. After a custody event, a deputy or officer may transport the person to the regional jail unless release by summons, magistrate action, or another lawful path occurs first. MPRSC intake creates the public fields later used in roster and profile views: name, mugshot, demographic identifiers, admit date and time, confining agency, and charge details.
Property and communication rules begin at booking too. MPRSC supplies basic clothing, bedding, shower shoes, meals, and hygiene items for indigent inmates. Families generally cannot bring ordinary personal property. The researched exception is one set of listed court clothes and approved funds such as money orders or cashier's or certified checks. Phone access is through the housing-area phone system, generally during posted calling hours, and emergency messages may be routed through the facility if verified.
Bond data on the profile is a jail-record clue, not a final court result. A magistrate or judge sets release conditions, and each charge can carry its own bond entry. Holds or detainers from another court, probation, parole, VADOC, ICE, USMS, or another agency can block release even when one local bond line appears.
Mathews County Visitation Records
MPRSC uses Securus for video visitation. The public visitor pages focus on account setup, ID upload, scheduling, lobby use, and behavior rules. Visits for family and friends are non-contact video visits and may be monitored and recorded. Professional visits have broader access, but they still must not interfere with meals, headcounts, medical needs, or security operations.
The MPRSC visitor information page screenshot shows the official lobby hours, holiday limits, Securus note, and professional visitor categories used for Mathews County jail visits.
Use the schedule as a planning aid, then confirm the person's current custody status before travel or account setup.
