INMATE PROPERTY
All property items entering the Hampton Roads Regional Jail must have prior approval from the Superintendent or designee before being mailed or brought to the facility. Inmates may receive newspapers, magazines, or softback books if they are mailed directly from the publisher. Prior approval is required before placing the order. The publication may be denied if it is too big or threatens security. All publications will be checked for contraband.
No gifts will be permitted unless authorized by the Superintendent or designee. Additional property restrictions may be imposed on inmates in restrictive housing.
All money, other valuables, and personal property will be surrendered, inventoried, and placed in secured storage. Inmates will be provided a receipt for all property. Inmates are required to keep one set of clothing in property storage for court appearances or for release from the facility.
Inmates are required to dispose of any excess personal property within 30 days of arrival at the Hampton Roads Regional Jail. Inmates may either mail their property to someone (at the inmate’s expense) or have a friend or relative pick it up. This must be done Monday through Friday between the hours of 0800 and 1700. The Hampton Roads Regional Jail is not responsible for any items lost or stolen while inmates are incarcerated.
PROPERTY DELIVERY
The only items that can be brought into the facility are court clothing and that must be done Monday through Friday 0800 to 1600. Underclothing must be purchased from the commissary unless approved by the Superintendent or designee. We do not authorize property exchanges between inmates. When inmates are released from the Hampton Roads Regional Jail all property must go with them. All excess property of the aforementioned items will be considered contraband.
INMATE FEES
Inmates are responsible for room and board fees, authorized by Virginia law. Jails may collect up to $3.00 per day from inmates to help offset the costs of housing. Our current room and board fee is $1.00 per day. Inmates are also responsible for medical and dental co-pays.
