King William County Release Meaning
Adults arrested on King William County or Town of West Point local matters are ordinarily held at Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center in Saluda. King William does not operate a stand-alone jail with its own historical release list. MPRSC serves several member jurisdictions, so its roster is regional. A current row supports present MPRSC custody. Once the row is gone, the public roster no longer explains why.
Release can mean bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, a completed local sentence, parole from state prison, or discharge. It can also be used loosely for departure from one facility when custody continues elsewhere. A VADOC transfer, move to another jail or hospital, and federal or immigration detainer are not community release. The record must be read by event, facility, and authority.
- Time served
- The jail treats the custodial term as complete.
- Parole
- Prison confinement ends under continuing community supervision.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision that may follow a suspended term or other judgment.
- Discharge
- The stated custody or supervision obligation ends.
- Detainer
- Another authority asks to hold or receive the person.
King William Release Types
The recorded disposition answers what happened at MPRSC, but it does not settle every linked case. Match the release event to the next official source.
| Recorded event | What it means | Next source |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | Local physical custody ended before case completion | King William court and any pretrial office |
| Time served | The jail treated that custodial term as complete | Court judgment for other terms |
| Court order or dismissal | An order authorized release in that matter | Release entry for actual departure |
| Transfer to VADOC | State custody began or continued | VADOC locator and records |
| Other jail or hospital | The person left MPRSC but remained confined or treated | Named receiving agency |
| Federal or ICE transfer | Another sovereign took custody | BOP, ICE, federal court, or Marshals |
| Parole | State imprisonment ended under conditions | VADOC community supervision |
Death may also close custody but is not release in the community-return sense. Expungement or sealing is separate from release and does not occur merely because custody ended.
King William Release Record Fields
A useful MPRSC record answers who, which booking, when custody ended there, and why or where the person went. Ask for a defined booking rather than a general staff explanation.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Full name and booking number | Identity tied to one admission |
| Admit date and time | Start of the MPRSC custody episode |
| Committing jurisdiction and agency | Whether King William is tied to the regional booking |
| Charge and court number | Connection to the case record |
| Bond status | Pretrial release authority recorded during custody |
| Release date and time | Actual end of MPRSC custody |
| Release disposition | Bond, order, sentence served, transfer, detainer, or other category |
| Destination or receiving agency | Whether custody continued elsewhere, when disclosable |
A routine-intake booking photograph is an intake record and may need a separate request. The current grid shows name, age, race, sex, admit date, primary charge court type, and primary charge. It does not display release time, reason, destination, or a historical status selector.
Request King William Release Records
MPRSC accepts Virginia FOIA requests by mail, fax, email, in person, or phone. A request need not say “FOIA,” but written scope helps. Ask for an existing booking and release entry, not for staff to answer broad questions or create a report. Include date of birth only when needed to distinguish same-name adults.
- Identify the full name and approximate booking date.
- Request the booking or inmate number, admission time, King William committing field, charges, case number, release time, disposition, and receiving agency if maintained and disclosable.
- Ask for electronic copies and an estimate before charges exceed a chosen amount.
- Send the request to the MPRSC FOIA Officer.
- For a certified court disposition, contact the correct court clerk. For state records, use VADOC FOIA.

The official page names Andrea Kinser but uses an email username that does not match the name. Verify by phone before sending sensitive identity data. MPRSC states five working days for response, with a written seven-working-day extension when needed. Actual search, access, duplication, and supply costs may be charged; a deposit may be required above $200.
King William Release Record Law
Virginia FOIA § 2.2-3704 grants access to Virginia citizens and specified Virginia media representatives. The agency may ask for the requester's name and legal address. Requests must reasonably identify existing records. Charges cannot exceed actual cost, and an estimate is available on request.
Section 2.2-3706 addresses law-enforcement records and generally requires requested adult routine-intake photographs, subject to a temporary exception when release would jeopardize an active felony investigation. Juvenile, medical, security-sensitive, sealed, expunged, and other protected material has different limits. No official public retention period was found for released MPRSC roster rows because the online product is current-only.
Release itself does not seal or expunge a record. King William Circuit Court handles qualifying petitions under the law effective for the record. Virginia's sealing framework is distinct, and a missing online court case may reflect confidentiality or sealing rather than proof that the event never occurred.
Find King William Released Inmates
Use the custody sequence, not one name search. Each system answers a different part of the release question.
- Search the MPRSC current list. A matching row means current regional custody; no row is only a lead.
- Check Virginia Jail VINE for the same person and exact agency. It can corroborate an event but may lag.
- Search the correct King William court by locality, level, name, or case number. Read disposition and sentence, not merely the charge.
- Use the VADOC locator after a state transfer or for community supervision.
- Request the MPRSC record when no public recent-release feed resolves the event.
- Use BOP, ICE, or federal court channels only when known facts point to federal custody.
The official MPRSC wrapper below identifies the current listing, not a release archive.

Its narrow current-custody scope is why a release record and destination check remain necessary.
VADOC King William Release Lookup
The VADOC Inmate & Supervisee Locator is for people in state facilities or under VADOC community supervision. It is not the archive for a short MPRSC stay. Search by a seven-digit VADOC number when known or use name and available identity refiners. Compare the exact status, location, district, and label on any release-related date.
| Search or result field | Use |
|---|---|
| VADOC number | Exact state identifier and strongest search key |
| First and last name | Name search; compare middle details and demographics |
| Location | Institution, local jail, or community district context |
| Custody or supervision status | Distinguishes prison from community supervision |
| Release-related date | Read its precise label; projected and actual dates differ |
A community-corrections district can indicate supervision in the community, not prison confinement. A missing VADOC result does not prove release. The person may remain local, be federal, use another spelling, or fall outside public data.
The official VADOC search form shows the state locator route.

Use the returned label without turning an estimate, parole eligibility date, or supervision end date into an actual release date.
King William Bond Release Route
Middle Peninsula Local Probation & Pretrial investigates some MPRSC bookings for bond decisions and supervises some defendants released before trial. The state directory assigns King William to its Tappahannock office. This route can corroborate a referred bond release, but it does not cover every person leaving MPRSC.
Bond means physical custody ended under pretrial authority while the case continues. It is not an acquittal or dismissal. General District Court records misdemeanor outcomes and preliminary felony events. Circuit Court records felony adjudication and sentence. A court order may explain why release should occur, while the MPRSC entry supplies the actual facility departure.
King William Release Time Facts
MPRSC publishes no general release hour, exit door, or holiday discharge schedule. Its weekend-service page gives a 6 p.m. Friday reporting time for court-authorized nonconsecutive sentences. That is a custody entry time and must not be quoted as a release hour.
Call or request the individual release entry for an actual exit time. VADOC separately says state-facility discharge or parole releases occur by 11:59 p.m. on the release date, weather permitting. That state rule does not apply to MPRSC. The King William 24-hour release process explains how to define a same-day request when no feed exists.
King William Property After Release
MPRSC permits a confined person to authorize property pickup by a named individual who presents identification and signs. Transfer has a separate rule. A person moved to another jail, psychiatric hospital, VADOC, or another facility completes a Disposition of Personal Property form, and the named person has 30 days after transfer to collect the property before destruction under policy.
That procedure is useful evidence of why a roster disappearance can mean transfer. It is not a public release database. Virginia law also provides identity-document assistance for some people confined at least 90 days, subject to statutory conditions. Eligibility should be confirmed from the issuing agency and facility rather than presumed.
King William Courts Confirm Release
King William General District Court and Circuit Court share 351 Courthouse Lane but occupy different suites and answer different questions. General District Court handles misdemeanors and preliminary felony stages. Circuit Court handles felony adjudication, sentence, appeals, and qualifying expungement or sealing filings.
A felony certification from General District Court to Circuit Court is not a final felony disposition and is not a release order. Search the Virginia court case portal, select the proper locality and level, then compare case number, charge, hearing dates, disposition, sentence, suspended time, and probation. Court records explain legal authority, but MPRSC records establish the physical exit.
King William Custody Sources Compared
Released and still-in-custody records live in different places. Federal and juvenile systems also have strict boundaries.
| Situation | Correct source | Key limit |
|---|---|---|
| Currently at regional jail | MPRSC current listing | No release archive |
| Released from MPRSC | MPRSC release record, VINE, court | Confirm transfer versus community return |
| State prison or supervision | VADOC locator and records | Not a local booking archive |
| Sentenced federal custody | BOP locator | “Not in BOP custody” has several meanings |
| Known immigration custody | ICE locator and authorized inquiry | No result is not a release certificate |
| Juvenile matter | Authorized juvenile channels | No adult-style public search |
Virginia Jail VINE covers participating local jail records. VADOC uses a separate NAAVI notification system for state prisoners. The systems are not connected. BOP and ICE require their own routes, and a local transfer to either is not a return home.
For local custody, VINE is a specific-person tool rather than a browseable King William release list. Search Virginia, compare the full identity and MPRSC agency, then read the displayed event wording. A release notice is useful timely support, but automated source data may lag and the result may not remain searchable forever. Register only through the live options shown for the matched record. When exact time or disposition matters, pair the notice with the MPRSC release entry.
State-prison notice requires a separate NAAVI registration. VADOC lists transfer, advanced release, actual release, parole action, escape, and recapture events. An advanced date can change. An actual release notice means the person is no longer in VADOC custody. Neither local VINE nor NAAVI covers a BOP release. The BOP locator can show “Released” and a date for a sentenced federal person. ICE's current-detainee locator applies only when facts support immigration custody. A no-result screen is not a release certificate.
Post-release supervision also has two local routes. VADOC Gloucester District 5 serves King William for state probation and parole. Middle Peninsula Local Probation & Pretrial in Tappahannock handles referred local probation and pretrial matters and is not a parole office. The VADOC locator is the first state-supervision check. No comprehensive official King William absconder list was found, so locator absence must not be called discharge or absconding without an issuing record.
King William Registry Release Limits
The Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry is a narrow post-release source. It applies only to people whose covered offense creates a legal duty to register. Virginia law generally requires a covered registrant to appear in person within three days after release from state, local, or juvenile confinement and provide the required information. Public fields can include names or aliases, conviction information, a current address, a photograph, and a wanted notation for a registration failure when applicable.
A registry entry can corroborate that a covered King William person is registered in the community after release. It does not establish the exact minute MPRSC custody ended, and the registry photograph may have been taken after release rather than at booking. Absence has no meaning for a person whose offense does not require registration. The registry must never be treated as a general list of King William County released inmates.
The distinction also protects the record sequence. Use MPRSC for the local release time and disposition, the court for the judgment, and the registry only for the separate statutory registration status. A person may have left custody without any registry duty, while a listed registrant may have completed the jail event long before the current registry update.
King William Release Facilities
Five facilities or systems define the local release map. Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center is the first stop for adults on local matters. Virginia Department of Corrections Facilities receive state-responsible prisoners and supervise many people after release. Merrimac Center serves juvenile detention and must not be treated as an adult public-release source.
Federal Bureau of Prisons Facilities apply only to sentenced federal custody. Federal Immigration Custody covers known ICE detention or U.S. Marshals transfer issues. A destination search prevents the most serious error: describing movement from MPRSC into another authority's custody as community release.
- Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center
- Virginia Department of Corrections Facilities
- Merrimac Center
- Federal Bureau of Prisons Facilities
- Federal Immigration Custody
Use each facility page for its own release-confirmation route. Juvenile names, photographs, and release data are not routed through the adult MPRSC process.
