Greene County Inmate Population Overview
The Greene County inmate population is not housed in a full sheriff-run jail in Stanardsville. The primary facility is Central Virginia Regional Jail, known as CVRJ, in Orange. CVRJ serves Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, and Orange Counties, and Greene County participates through the regional jail authority. The county’s CVRJ board page describes the authority as a joint-powers body built to provide secure adult confinement for people accused or convicted of criminal activity.
This regional model is the key local fact. A person arrested by Greene County deputies may be searched as a Greene County inmate by family or counsel, but the jail custody record points to CVRJ. The Greene County Lock-Up appears in state inspection materials, yet the research supports treating it as a short-term law-enforcement or court holding site rather than the county’s ordinary inmate-population facility. State prison, federal prison, and ICE detention are separate systems and should not be mixed into the CVRJ population count unless the source says they are held there.
Greene County Inmate Population Statistics
The best sourced population numbers are facility-wide CVRJ figures, not Greene County-only counts. The State Board of Local and Regional Jails 2024 capacity report lists Central Virginia Regional Jail with rated capacity of 442, double-bunking or actual capacity of 660, special-purpose count of 52, and FY 2024 average daily population of 450.39. CVRJ’s own history page says the jail houses approximately 400 local, state, and federal prisoners and has staff of 156.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| CVRJ rated capacity | 442 | State Board of Local and Regional Jails capacity report, FY 2024 |
| CVRJ actual/double-bunking capacity | 660 | State Board of Local and Regional Jails capacity report, FY 2024 |
| CVRJ average daily population | 450.39 | State Board of Local and Regional Jails capacity report, FY 2024 |
| CVRJ approximate population | Approximately 400 | CVRJ history page, inspected July 1, 2026 |
| Greene County-only share | Not published | Research found no official county-responsibility breakout |
The CVRJ history page gives the local jail history, staff count, approximate population, and expansion record.
Those local details explain why the current Greene County inmate population is measured through a regional facility rather than a county-only jail report.
Greene County Inmate Population Trends
The official trend is also regional. CVRJ opened on September 1, 1990 with original design capacity of 96 beds and original staff of 50. The 2023 capacity report listed CVRJ at 442 rated capacity and FY 2023 average daily population of 369.14. The 2024 report listed the same rated capacity and FY 2024 average daily population of 450.39. That is an increase of 81.25 average daily inmates from FY 2023 to FY 2024.
| Year / Period | Population or Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1990 opening | 96 design capacity | CVRJ became operational with 50 staff |
| Current CVRJ wording | Approximately 400 prisoners | Local, state, and federal prisoners per CVRJ history |
| FY 2023 | 369.14 ADP | Rated capacity 442 |
| FY 2024 | 450.39 ADP | Rated capacity 442 and actual/double-bunking capacity 660 |
The FY 2024 average was about 8.39 people above rated capacity, or roughly 101.9 percent of the rated number. Against the state-reported double-bunking or actual capacity of 660, the same FY 2024 average was about 68.2 percent. Both measures should be kept separate because state reports use rated capacity and actual/double-bunking capacity for different purposes.
Who Is in Greene County Custody
CVRJ’s history page says it houses local, state, and federal prisoners. The facility map research says the regional jail holds adults accused or convicted of criminal activity for Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, and Orange Counties. It is a multiple-custody local/regional jail with objective classification, not a state prison. The official sources did not publish a Greene County-only split by sex, race, age, pretrial status, misdemeanor, felony, or average length of stay.
- Pretrial
- A case stage before conviction or final disposition, often while bond or court review is pending.
- Sentenced misdemeanant
- A person serving a local jail sentence after misdemeanor conviction.
- Sentenced felon
- A person convicted of a felony, often transferred to VADOC when the sentence qualifies.
- Detainer
- A hold request or notice from another agency that can affect release.
- Classification
- The jail process for assigning custody level and housing based on risk and needs.
Greene County Jail Capacity
The capacity picture should be read with care. CVRJ’s rated capacity is 442 in the FY 2024 state capacity report. The same report lists 660 as the actual or double-bunking capacity measure and 52 special-purpose cells or beds. A regional jail can serve several counties and hold multiple legal populations, so these numbers do not mean that Greene County alone had that many people in custody.
No current Greene/CVRJ consent decree, DOJ investigation, or recent official jail-conditions lawsuit was located in the research set. The pressure point is the BLRJ capacity math: the FY 2024 regional average was slightly over rated capacity but well below the double-bunking or actual capacity figure. The CY 2024 annual report snippet listed Central Virginia Regional Jail audit status as compliant and Greene County Lock-Up inspection status as compliant.
Laws Governing Greene County Jail Data
Greene County inmate population records sit inside Virginia’s public-records and jail-standards framework. Public access depends on the record type and the agency that holds it. CVRJ has regional jail records, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office has sheriff arrest and incident records, and the courts hold filed criminal case records.
Key statutes:
Virginia FOIA § 2.2-3704 sets the public-record request and five-working-day response structure.
Virginia Code § 2.2-3706 covers law-enforcement record disclosure and exemptions.
6VAC15-40 sets Virginia minimum standards for jails and lockups.
Virginia Code § 53.1-69.1 gives the Board death-review authority for local, regional, and community correctional facilities.
Search the Greene County Inmate Population
The Greene County inmate population search is an access-chain task because no official CVRJ public roster was found in the research. CVRJ links VINE from its homepage. Virginia VINE says it is free, anonymous, available by phone, internet, and mobile app, and can provide custody status, case information, and notification options. When VINE does not find a person, the next step is direct CVRJ contact or sheriff records, depending on whether the question is custody status or arrest paperwork.
- Use Virginia VINELink for custody status tied to jail or offender notification.
- Call Central Virginia Regional Jail at (540) 672-3222 if the person is newly arrested, not found, or possibly transferred.
- Search Virginia court systems for formal charges, hearing dates, and case status.
- Use the Greene County Sheriff’s FOIA and Records Division path for sheriff-held arrest, warrant, and incident records.
- Use VADOC, BOP, or ICE if the person is sentenced, federally held, or in immigration detention.
Greene County Inmate Lookup Fields
No CVRJ roster field table was captured because no conventional roster was found. The verified field tables come from VADOC, BOP, ICE, and Virginia courts. For a Greene County search, collect the person’s full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, case number, arresting agency, and any known DOC, federal, or immigration number.
| System | Fields | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Virginia VINE | Follow state prompts; use full name and identifiers | Custody status and notification |
| VADOC | First and last name, DOC ID, location, race, gender, age range, disclaimer checkbox | Sentenced prisoners, supervisees, CCAP, and some VADOC-authority jail placements |
| BOP | Name, race, sex, age, Register, DCDC, FBI, or INS number | Federal inmates from 1982 to present |
| Virginia courts | Locality, name, case number, hearing date, case type | Formal charges, hearings, dispositions |
Greene County Jail vs VADOC
CVRJ and VADOC answer different questions. CVRJ is the regional jail for local, pretrial, short-sentence, and some other jail custody tied to Greene County. VADOC is the state corrections system for sentenced prisoners and supervisees. A person who disappears from the local custody path may have bonded out, been released, moved to another jail, or transferred into VADOC after sentencing.
| CVRJ Regional Jail | VADOC | |
|---|---|---|
| Who is covered | Local and regional jail custody | State prisoners and supervisees |
| Search path | VINE plus CVRJ phone | VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator |
| Case stage | Pretrial, short sentence, holds, local jail placement | Post-sentence state corrections or supervision |
| Greene County caveat | Facility-wide figures are regional, not county-only | No state prison is located in Greene County |
The VADOC locator is the official state search path after a qualifying sentence or VADOC supervision.
That locator should not be used as proof that a newly arrested person is absent from CVRJ.
Greene County Federal and ICE Paths
No federal BOP facility or ICE detention facility was found in Greene County. Federal and immigration custody can still affect a local search if there is a federal warrant, U.S. Marshals hold, ICE operation, immigration detainer, or transfer. Research noted June 2026 local news reporting that Greene County assisted ICE in an operation and that ICE later confirmed 49 arrests, with people transported to ICE facilities. That context does not create a Greene County ICE facility page, but it does make the ICE locator path relevant.
| Custody Path | Locator | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Covers federal inmates from 1982 to present, not local jail booking records |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Requires A-number/country or biographical fields and JavaScript |
| Virginia custody notice | Virginia VINE | Custody-notification tool, not a mugshot gallery |
Greene County Booking Records
Booking records are not the same as court records. CVRJ handles jail custody. The sheriff’s Records Division maintains criminal records for the Sheriff’s Office, including arrests, warrants, incident reports, traffic summonses, civil process, and FOIA forms. The Greene County FOIA page says requests are filled within five business days or the requester receives another notice in that period. Fees may apply, and deposits may be required when costs exceed $200 or more than four hours of work.
CVRJ’s FOIA page is simpler and says requests should be mailed to the Custodian of Records at the jail. A useful Greene County inmate population request should name the person, give date of birth if known, state the arrest date, identify the arresting agency, include the case number if known, and specify the record, such as booking record, custody record, booking photograph, or release date.
Greene County Detention Facilities
The facility map for this site has two entries. Only CVRJ is the ordinary inmate-population facility for Greene County. The lock-up entry is included because state jail and lock-up inspection materials list it, but the official local sources did not publish a roster, bed count, ordinary visitation, mail, or commissary rules for it.
- Central Virginia Regional Jail is the regional jail in Orange serving Greene County and four other counties.
- Greene County Lock-Up is treated as short-term law-enforcement or court holding tied to sheriff and courthouse movement.
Greene County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Greene County inmate population? The best official number is not county-only. The FY 2024 state capacity report lists CVRJ at 450.39 average daily population across the regional facility, while CVRJ’s own history page says approximately 400 prisoners.
