How to Search for an Inmate by Name at Riverside Regional Jail
Riverside Regional Jail operates its own inmate lookup tool directly on the official website. You do not need to pay any third-party site for this information — it is free and accessible to anyone 24 hours a day from any device.
1 Go to the official inmate locator: rrjva.org/inmatelookup — This is the direct link from the Riverside Regional Jail Authority’s official website. Do not use third-party aggregator sites that charge fees for information available here free.
2 Enter the person’s last name (required). First name is optional but recommended, especially for common last names. You can also search by date of birth (format: MM/DD/YYYY) or by gender to narrow results.
3 Click “Search” and review the results. The system returns all current inmates matching your criteria. Each result shows the inmate’s name, booking number, charges, bond information, and facility housing assignment.
4 Write down the booking number immediately. You need this number for everything — setting up phone calls, scheduling visitation, depositing commissary money, and sending mail. Without it, most tasks require calling the jail directly.
5 If the person does not appear in results, call the jail. Phone: (804) 524-6600. New bookings may take several hours to appear in the online system. Staff can confirm custody status verbally by name. Also check whether the person was booked into a different facility — Riverside Regional Jail serves seven localities, but some arrests in Chesterfield County may initially be processed at the Chesterfield County Jail before transfer.
How to Visit an Inmate at Riverside Regional Jail
Riverside Regional Jail uses two systems for visitation: on-site video kiosk visits inside the facility and remote off-site video visits through ICSolutions. Traditional face-to-face visits through a glass partition have been replaced by video visitation at this facility.
1 Register with ICSolutions first: Go to icsolutions.com and create a free visitor account. You need your government-issued photo ID and the inmate’s name and booking number.
2 Schedule your visit through the ICSolutions portal. Select the inmate, choose a date and time, and confirm. You can also schedule through the GTL VisitMe portal at rrjva.gtlvisitme.com/app.
3 For on-site visits: Arrive 15 minutes early. Bring your valid, unexpired government photo ID. All visitors aged 13 and older are subject to a body scan search. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition preventing scanning, inform staff.
4 For off-site (remote) video visits: Download the ICS MOBILE app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). You need a device with a camera and reliable internet. Off-site visits are fee-based — cost varies by facility. Fund your ICSolutions account before the visit.
Visitation Rules
- Valid government photo ID required — driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. No expired IDs.
- Visitors under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- Maximum 3 visitors per session, including children.
- All persons 13+ are body-scanned entering the facility.
