What Happens to Your Loved One's Money and Property When They're Released from Northern Neck Regional Jail
Release day has a lot of moving parts. Here's what Northern Neck Regional Jail says happens to money left on your loved one's account—and what you should (and shouldn't) try to bring to the jail.
Any money left in your loved one's inmate account when they're released or transferred gets handled one of two ways. The jail either mails the remaining funds to the inmate (or to the receiving institution for transfers), or the inmate picks up a check in person during normal business hours. If you're coordinating transportation or timing, that "mailed vs. picked up" detail is usually what matters most.
Cash your loved one had when they arrived at Northern Neck Regional Jail doesn't stay as physical currency. It gets credited to their inmate account, where it can cover debts or pay for commissary purchases. So any money found with an inmate becomes account funds - it's not held separately as cash.
Thinking about dropping off personal items? Don't count on it. Northern Neck Regional Jail won't accept personal property from friends or family. The jail cites security concerns and limited space, so showing up with bags of clothing, toiletries, or other items will likely end with a refused drop-off.
Exception: Local inmates attending circuit court trials may be allowed to have clothing brought in by family - but only after the inmate requests it from the Chief of Inmate Services using the jail's request forms.
