District 21 Release Supervision
VADOC District 21 is a community-supervision office, not a detention facility. Virginia separates release decisions from field supervision. The Virginia Parole Board decides eligible discretionary-parole matters. VADOC Community Corrections supervises probationers, parolees, and people on post-release supervision. A person linked to District 21 will ordinarily be outside a jail or prison, but that person has not necessarily reached final discharge from correctional control.
King George is part of District 21's stated service area with Fredericksburg, Stafford County, and Spotsylvania County. A King George case may reach the office after release from Rappahannock Regional Jail or a VADOC institution. The office can verify routing and address stale public information, subject to limits on confidential supervision notes. It cannot turn an RRJ release into a state-prison discharge record, and it is not the custodian of the jail's door-out time.
| Status | Source | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Probation | Sentencing order and VADOC supervision record | Court-ordered community supervision |
| Parole | Parole Board decision plus VADOC record | Conditional release in an eligible case |
| Post-release supervision | Court and VADOC record | Supervision after physical custody |
| Final discharge | VADOC inactive or discharge record | End of the recorded supervision term |
Verify District 21 Release Status
Begin with the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator. It covers probationers and parolees supervised by district offices, as well as people in institutions, institutional hospitals, CCAP, and qualifying local or regional jail placements under VADOC authority. The location label matters more than the mere presence of a result. An institution, CCAP, or local-jail result is not ordinary community release. A District 21 result supports community supervision.
Search with the seven-digit DOC ID when possible. The alternate route requires the first three letters of the first name and the full last name. Optional location, race, gender, and age filters can narrow a valid search. VADOC says the locator is updated daily, but warns that information may be wrong or out of date. Record the search date and compare lawful identifiers before treating a result as the correct person.
- Search VADOC and read the exact listed location or supervision office.
- Review the King George Circuit Court sentencing or violation order for the imposed term and conditions.
- Call District 21 to confirm that it is the correct public office route for the named case.
- For completed supervision no longer shown, request the VADOC inactive or discharge record.
District 21 Supervision Records
The official VADOC probation and parole office directory assigns King George to District 21. The office can confirm proper routing for a current supervision matter and help resolve a locator entry that appears stale. Public access does not extend to every case note, risk assessment, treatment detail, residence plan, or internal supervision document. Frame the request around releasable status, office, and discharge information.

If District 21 says the person is no longer assigned there, ask whether the record reflects transfer to another district, completion, return to custody, or another routing event that can be disclosed. Do not ask staff to create a new narrative. For the underlying record, VADOC FOIA accepts written requests through FOIA@vadoc.virginia.gov or at P.O. Box 26963, Richmond, VA 23261. The central FOIA phone is 804-963-2953.
Note: A district-office result establishes the public supervision association as of the search date, not the full legal history of the case.
District 21 Release Court Records
King George Circuit Court supplies the judicial side of supervision. It enters felony sentencing and probation-violation orders, hears district-court appeals, and handles felony proceedings. Search the statewide or circuit case system by exact name and locality, then use the case number to separate people and charges. The docket may show sentence, suspended incarceration, probation terms, violation hearings, and disposition. It does not prove the exact date RRJ or VADOC physically released someone.
The Circuit Clerk is at 10446 Government Center Boulevard, Suite 271, King George, Virginia 22485, with telephone 540-775-3322 and published hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The local schedule identifies probation violations on the second Tuesday at 9 a.m. Other criminal dockets are placed on specified later Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Confirm the calendar before travel because a schedule can change.
A probation-violation order may continue supervision, modify conditions, impose part of a suspended sentence, or lead to custody. Read the actual outcome. An entry for a hearing does not prove a violation. Likewise, an arrest or warrant event does not prove revocation. The court order establishes the judicial action, while VADOC and the actual custodian establish the correctional status that followed.
King George Release Program Boundaries
RRJ Community Corrections is a separate local layer. Pretrial Services investigates detainees for court decisions and supervises people awaiting trial. Community-Based Probation is a court-ordered post-sentence alternative. Work Release participants return to RRJ and remain confined. Home Electronic Monitoring requires a suitable plan and other listed conditions. These placements can put a person outside a secure unit without making the person unconditionally discharged or a District 21 supervisee.
Use the authority named in the order. RRJ Community Corrections should answer questions about its own pretrial, local probation, work-release, or electronic-monitoring placement. District 21 should answer state probation and parole routing. The Virginia Parole Board should answer eligible parole-decision questions. The King George post-release supervision page compares these layers and the correct verification source for each.
- Probation
- A community sentence ordered by a court, often tied to suspended incarceration.
- Parole
- Conditional community release decided by the Parole Board for a legally eligible person.
- CCAP
- A VADOC community corrections placement that remains within correctional authority.
- Final discharge
- The recorded end of custody and supervision for the applicable case or term.
District 21 Parole Release Evidence
Virginia abolished discretionary parole for most felony offenses committed on or after January 1, 1995, subject to statutory exceptions. A person should not be called parole eligible from a sentence fraction alone. The Virginia Parole Board publishes completed decisions in monthly reports. Those reports can include a DOC number, name, case type, decision or certification date, outcome, jurisdiction, offense, judgment date, sentence, and reasons. They are retrospective decision records, not a county-filtered calendar of physical releases.
A grant is not an executed release. Planning, statutory notice, certification, detainer review, and VADOC processing can still occur. Confirm the custody change through VADOC or the applicable notification system. If the person is then assigned to District 21, that office association supports supervised community status. If the person remains at an institution, the Board action alone should not be rewritten as release.
The Board and the field office also have distinct roles during alleged violations. The public should not infer an absconder status from a missing locator record. No official statewide VADOC absconder list was found in the research sweep. A warrant or violation is verified through the court and responsible supervision authority.
District 21 Final Discharge Records
When supervision ends, the person may fall outside the locator's active public scope. VADOC Operating Procedure 050.6 supplies an inactive-record route and a written correction process for record subjects. A person seeking their own inactive probationer or parolee record can use notarized Form 050_F17. Ask for the recorded supervision discharge date and type, prior district assignment, and releasable status fields as maintained. Virginia law permits limits on probation and parole supervision records, so a public response may not include the entire case file.
VADOC describes five working days for a FOIA response and a possible seven additional working days. Actual reasonable search, retrieval, copy, and postage costs may apply. An estimate can be requested. Operating Procedure 050.6 lists ten cents per page plus actual postage or shipping and reasonable research labor. If a public record is inaccurate, the responsible unit and central or regional records administration are the correction path, not a change requested from the public locator alone.
A sound final statement names the scope: “VADOC records show supervision discharged on the recorded date,” rather than “all legal obligations ended.” A separate case, warrant, or non-VADOC obligation may exist. Use the actual order and agency record to avoid claims broader than the source proves.
Keep the discharge entry beside the last sentencing or violation order and the date of the locator check. That record set distinguishes an expired supervision term from a transfer to another district, return to custody, or public-display delay.
