How do I get an emergency message to an inmate at Jail East or at Jail West?
Contact Jail East at (804) 652-1100 and Jail West at (804) 501-4586. Emergency messages are defined as any message regarding the following: death of a relative or close friend, birth where the inmate is the father, serious injury to a relative, hospitalization of a relative or any other message that the supervisor feels is important enough to be delivered to the inmate. A message concerning death or serious illness will be given to the shift supervisor who will deliver it to the inmate after verification. Jail staff are not obligated to transmit messages, other than emergency messages, to the inmate.
