Greensville Prison Overview
Greensville Correctional Center is listed by the Virginia Department of Corrections facility index as an active correctional center at 901 Corrections Way in Jarratt. VADOC lists the facility phone number and identifies Clint Davis as Lead Warden in the captured facility index. The facility is physically in Greensville County, but it is a state prison, not Southside Regional Jail and not a place to search for a person just booked after a Greensville County or Emporia arrest.
The population held at Greensville Correctional Center is sentenced state custody under VADOC. A person can move from Southside Regional Jail, another Virginia local or regional jail, or a court-related holding path into VADOC custody after conviction and sentencing. Once that transfer happens, the county jail desk may only be able to confirm that the person is no longer housed locally. The public search path changes to the VADOC Inmate & Supervisee Locator.
The VADOC facilities page is the official source for the facility listing.
That facility index supports the state-prison distinction: Greensville Correctional Center belongs to VADOC, while Southside Regional Jail belongs to the regional jail authority.
Greensville Prison Population
The current VADOC facility index text captured for this project did not list a rated capacity or current population for Greensville Correctional Center. Because no official VADOC capacity or current count was located in the reviewed facility index, third-party prison population figures should not be used for this page. The reliable statement from the research is narrower: Greensville Correctional Center is an active VADOC correctional center for sentenced state custody, and Southside Regional Jail is the local/regional facility for Greensville County and Emporia jail custody.
Population note: Use VADOC or another high-authority state source for any current Greensville Correctional Center population figure.

Use the VADOC Locator
The correct tool for Greensville Correctional Center inmate lookup is the VADOC Inmate & Supervisee Locator. VADOC says the locator covers incarcerated individuals in VADOC institutions, probationers and parolees supervised by district offices, people assigned to institutional hospitals, local or regional jail inmates under VADOC authority, and Community Corrections Alternative Program participants. This coverage is broader than one prison, so the result must be checked for current location and status.
- Open the VADOC Inmate & Supervisee Locator.
- Search by first and last name, or use a DOC ID number when it is known.
- Review the returned record for current location, custody category, and release information.
- Confirm that the listed location is Greensville Correctional Center before using facility contact, mail, or visiting procedures.
The VADOC locator page shows the state search path for people in VADOC custody or supervision.
The locator image matters because it shows the state search fields. It is not a Southside Regional Jail roster and should not be used as proof of a fresh local booking.
| Field | How It Works |
|---|---|
| First Name | Required when searching by name. |
| Last Name | Required when searching by name. |
| DOC ID# | Alternative search path when the VADOC number is known. |
| Search mode | Name search or DOC ID search. |
Greensville Prison Contact
For facility-level questions, use the VADOC-listed address and phone number. For a local arrest, bond, booking, or first court date, use Southside Regional Jail and Virginia Courts instead. The state prison cannot replace the regional jail records desk for a person who has not been sentenced or transferred into VADOC custody.

Greensville Prison Visits
Visitation at Greensville Correctional Center follows VADOC family-and-friends and facility procedures, not the Southside Regional Jail housing-block schedule. State prison visitation typically depends on approval, current facility status, visitor rules, scheduling requirements, identification, dress rules, and any VADOC restrictions in effect. Because the captured research did not include a Greensville-specific visiting hour table, exact times should be confirmed through VADOC or the facility before travel.
| Topic | State Prison Guidance |
|---|---|
| Approval | Use VADOC visitor approval and facility procedures. |
| Scheduling | Confirm current scheduling rules with VADOC or the facility. |
| Identification | Bring required government ID and follow VADOC entry rules. |
| Southside schedule | Does not apply to Greensville Correctional Center. |
Do not rely on the Southside Regional Jail visitation hotline, Southside housing blocks, or the Southside two-visit-per-week local custody rule for this state prison. Those rules are documented for the regional jail and are not the VADOC prison procedure.
VADOC Mail and Money
Mail, money, and phone rules for Greensville Correctional Center come from VADOC family-and-friends procedures and facility rules. The Southside Regional Jail personal-mail scanning address in Phoenix, Maryland, Oasis commissary, JailCanteen orders, ConnectNetwork jail deposits, and ViaPath regional jail phone details should not be copied over to Greensville Correctional Center. State prison contacts and vendors differ from jail vendors.
The research found a VADOC money page stating that JPay is used for online money transfer, phone transfer at 1-800-574-5729, and the JPay mobile app. Confirm the incarcerated person's VADOC identity and location before sending funds. A name match alone is not enough because the VADOC locator covers multiple custody and supervision categories.
| Service | Correct Source |
|---|---|
| Money transfer | VADOC family-and-friends money procedures; JPay options listed by VADOC |
| VADOC and Greensville Correctional Center mail procedures | |
| Phone | VADOC prison communication rules, not Southside jail phone-list rules |
| Commissary | State prison procedure, not Oasis or JailCanteen Southside rules |
State Prison Intake
Greensville Correctional Center does not perform street-arrest booking for Greensville County cases in the way Southside Regional Jail does. After conviction and sentencing, a person may enter the VADOC system through state intake and classification. Classification is the prison process that reviews custody level, housing, medical or mental health needs, sentence information, security concerns, and program placement. A VADOC record may then show the person's state location and release information through the state locator.
For a person arrested yesterday, the better path is Southside Regional Jail, VINE, and Virginia Courts. For a person sentenced to state time, the better path is VADOC. This distinction prevents two common errors: calling the prison about a new county booking, or calling the regional jail about a person who has already transferred to state custody.
Greensville Prison Records
VADOC locator data is not the same as a court file, a jail booking sheet, or a full criminal history. The locator is used for custody or supervision status in the VADOC system. Court records after a Greensville County arrest come through Virginia Courts and the appropriate clerk. Local booking records come from Southside Regional Jail or the arresting agency. Virginia VINE can add custody and case notification, but it is a notification layer rather than a complete state prison record file.
Federal and immigration systems are also separate. A sentenced federal inmate is searched through the Bureau of Prisons locator, while ICE custody is searched through ICE ODLS. Neither is the correct first tool for an ordinary Greensville Correctional Center state-prison lookup.
Note: Confirm current location in the VADOC locator before sending mail, scheduling a visit, or sending money.
