King William County Inmate Population Overview
King William County does not operate a separate county jail at the courthouse complex. The official local custody facility is Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center, a regional jail in Saluda that serves Essex County, King and Queen County, King William County, Middlesex County, and Mathews County. That local detail matters. A person arrested in King William County may appear in the MPRSC inmate listing even though the jail is outside the county line.
The King William County inmate population at the local jail stage includes people held before trial, people serving short local sentences, weekend inmates, work release participants, electronic incarceration participants, and people held on warrants or charges from member and outside jurisdictions. The roster detail uses confining agency, charging agency, and arresting agency fields, so those fields are the best way to tell whether a current MPRSC inmate is tied to King William County or another member county.
King William County Inmate Population Statistics
The most useful published numbers are facility-wide MPRSC figures, not King William-only detainee counts. The MPRSC homepage states a rated capacity of 121 inmates. The Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails FY2024/2025 capacity report gives a fuller facility row with permanent beds, temporary beds, special-purpose beds, actual capacity, rated capacity, and annualized average daily population. Because MPRSC serves five jurisdictions, these figures should be read as the regional jail population serving King William County, not as a county resident incarceration rate.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| MPRSC rated capacity | 121 inmates | MPRSC homepage and Virginia FY2024/2025 capacity report |
| Permanent beds | 306 | Virginia FY2024/2025 capacity report |
| Temporary beds | 20 | Virginia FY2024/2025 capacity report |
| Special-purpose beds | 5 | Virginia FY2024/2025 capacity report |
| Actual capacity | 306 | Virginia FY2024/2025 capacity report |
| Average daily population | 171.82 | Virginia FY2024/2025 capacity report |
King William County Jail Population Trends
Recent state capacity reports show that the MPRSC average daily population has moved up and down over the last three reporting periods. The reports do not assign a local cause, so the safer reading is numerical: the regional jail was above its rated capacity in each report located, while remaining below the FY2024/2025 actual capacity figure of 306. The FY2024/2025 average daily population equals about 142 percent of the 121 rated capacity, a calculation drawn from the official report figures.
| Year / Report | Average Daily Population | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FY2022 capacity report | 155.52 | Rated capacity 121 |
| FY2023 capacity report | 142.11 | Rated capacity 121 |
| FY2024/2025 capacity report | 171.82 | Rated capacity 121, actual capacity 306 |

Who Counts in King William Jail Data
Official aggregate demographics for King William detainees at MPRSC were not located in the research file. The public roster shows age, race, sex, and admit date for each current inmate, and the detail profile adds physical descriptors, admission time, confining agency, and charge rows. That is not the same as an official demographic report, so the page should not turn the live roster into a statistical breakdown.
- Pretrial detainees: people held before final case disposition or conviction.
- Local sentenced inmates: people serving jail time at the regional facility.
- Program participants: work release, weekend custody, and electronic incarceration can appear in MPRSC custody operations.
- Other agency holds: charge rows may list outside-county charging or arresting agencies.
A King William County inmate population count should not be calculated from the MPRSC roster alone. The roster changes during the day, covers multiple counties, and does not publish a stable King William-only total.
Laws for King William Inmate Records
Virginia public-records and jail standards laws shape how King William County inmate population records can be requested, withheld, inspected, and reported. The state law does not make every jail document public in full. It does give requesters a path to ask for existing records and gives agencies specific exemptions for law-enforcement, privacy, juvenile, attorney-client, and security-sensitive material.
Key Statutes:
Virginia Freedom of Information Act is the general access law for public records held by Virginia public bodies.
Virginia Code § 2.2-3704 sets request procedure, response duties, charges, and the legal-address requirement.
Virginia Code § 2.2-3706 governs release and limits for law-enforcement and criminal records.
Virginia Code § 53.1-5 gives the state board authority over local and regional jail standards, inspections, and jail-system data.
Virginia Code § 53.1-106 authorizes regional jail authority operations, including facilities like MPRSC.
Search King William County Inmates
The current local jail search starts with the MPRSC Current Inmate Listing. The page embeds the live roster and warns that it may load slowly. If the embedded frame does not load, the direct roster at MPRSC Inmates opens the grid itself. The roster is not a county-only list. It contains current MPRSC inmates from the member jurisdictions and other holds.
- Open the MPRSC Current Inmate Listing, then use the direct frame if the embedded roster stalls.
- Filter by full name first. Similar names can be narrowed with age, race, sex, or admit date.
- Click the linked name to open the detail profile.
- Read confining agency, charging agency, and arresting agency to connect the record to King William County.
- If the person is not listed, check VADOC, BOP, ICE, court records, VINELink, or a records request channel.
King William Roster Search Fields
The MPRSC roster is a web grid with column filters, not a single first-name and last-name form. It can group rows by column, filter each visible column, and page through results. The observed grid used a 100-row page size and had more than one page at the time of research, but that live state should not be published as a population figure.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Text filter | Optional | Filters the linked inmate name column. |
| Age | Text or numeric filter | Optional | Useful when several people have similar names. |
| Race | Text filter | Optional | Roster uses compact codes rather than a visible dropdown. |
| Sex | Text filter | Optional | Roster values use compact codes such as M or F. |
| Admit Date | Date picker or text date | Optional | Grid setup uses M/d/yyyy; detail display may vary. |
| Grouping panel | Drag and drop control | Optional | Lets users group rows by a column header. |

King William Inmate Record Details
An MPRSC detail profile may show the mugshot area, date of birth field, race, sex, eye color, hair color, weight, height, admit date, admit time, confining agency, and a charge grid. Charge rows can include the charge, offense date, court type, court date, bond, bond type, charging agency, and arresting agency. Some fields can be blank, and blank court fields should not be read as proof that no court case exists.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Linked roster name that opens the profile. |
| Admit Date and Time | When the person entered MPRSC custody. |
| Confining Agency | The jail or custody authority holding the person. |

| Charging Agency | Agency or jurisdiction connected to the listed charge. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency that made or executed the arrest. |
Jail DOC Federal ICE Search
Different custody systems cover different stages. MPRSC is the right place for current regional jail custody. Virginia Department of Corrections is the right search after state transfer or state supervision. The Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. ICE ODLS is separate from both the regional jail roster and the state prison locator.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Regional jail | MPRSC Current Inmate Listing | Current pretrial, local sentenced, program, and hold custody |
| State prison or supervision | VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator | VADOC custody, supervision, CCAP, and some local or regional jail authority records |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 forward |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Immigration detainees, not county jail inmates |
| Notifications | Virginia VINELink | Custody or case status alerts, not the authoritative roster |

King William County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the King William County inmate population?
The best official figure is the MPRSC facility-wide average daily population, because King William uses a five-jurisdiction regional jail. The FY2024/2025 capacity report lists MPRSC ADP at 171.82, with rated capacity 121 and actual capacity 306.
Where are King William County inmates held?
Local jail custody is handled by Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center in Saluda. The Sheriff's Office at the courthouse is a law-enforcement and records contact, not the jail building.
How do I search the King William County inmate population?
Start with the MPRSC Current Inmate Listing. If the embedded roster is slow, use the direct frame, filter by name or admit date, then open the profile and read the agency fields.
Are released inmates still listed?
MPRSC labels the roster as a current inmate listing and does not publish a retention period. For older booking records, use MPRSC FOIA or King William Sheriff's Office records channels.
What if the person was sentenced?
Use the VADOC locator after a state transfer or supervision placement. A person can leave the MPRSC roster and later appear in the state locator.
Can I get custody alerts?
Virginia VINELink is available for custody and case notifications. It should supplement, not replace, the MPRSC roster or official court records.
