Middle Peninsula Jail Overview
Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center is the mapped local detention facility for Middlesex County, Virginia. It is a regional jail rather than a sheriff-only county lockup. The Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center Authority operates the facility for Middlesex County and the neighboring member counties of Mathews, Gloucester, King and Queen, and King William. That authority model matters for inmate lookup because the public roster is not limited to arrests made in Middlesex County.
The jail holds several groups at the local custody stage. Pretrial detainees are people who have been booked and are waiting for bond review, court hearings, or case resolution. Local sentenced inmates are serving jail-level time. Weekend inmates report under court orders, and eligible trustee or program participants may be housed while working or taking part in approved jail programs. The MPRSC Jail Authority page explains the member-county board structure, which is the reason this facility appears in place of a standalone Middlesex County Jail.
Middle Peninsula Inmate Population
The best official population figures for Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center come from the Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails capacity reports. The 2025 Jail Capacity Report lists a rated capacity of 121 and a 2024 average daily population of 195, equal to 161.2% capacity use. The 2024 Jail Capacity Report listed a 2023 average daily population of 190 and 157.0% capacity use at the same rated capacity.
Those figures describe the regional jail as a whole. They should not be read as a Middlesex-only count because MPRSC also receives people from Mathews, Gloucester, King and Queen, and King William. The current roster can show more or fewer people on any given day than the average daily population in a state report. It is a live custody tool, while the state reports are annual capacity records.
Middle Peninsula Roster Lookup
Current local jail custody is searched through the MPRSC current inmate listing. That page embeds the direct public grid at Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center - Inmates. The roster is a filterable grid, not a single search form. Public columns include full name, age, race, sex, and admit date. Hidden or adaptive grid fields noted in the research include first name, middle name, last name, primary charge court type, and primary charge.
Use the roster for people currently in MPRSC custody. A person may not appear if booking is still in progress, release has already occurred, the person moved to Virginia Department of Corrections custody after sentencing, or the person is in federal or immigration custody. More detailed guidance for roster fields and booking records appears in the Middlesex County jail inmate records section.
- Open the official MPRSC current inmate listing. If the embedded roster does not load, use the direct grid link posted by MPRSC.
- Filter by full name first. The roster is regional, so do not assume the result list includes only Middlesex County arrests.
- Narrow by admit date when the booking date is known. The grid uses an M/d/yyyy date format.
- Use age, race, or sex only as secondary filters. Those fields can separate similar names but are not identity proof by themselves.
- Open any adaptive detail control where available to look for additional name or primary charge fields.
Middle Peninsula Jail Contact
Use the facility contact channel for custody status, inmate services, visitation questions, property release questions, and jail-record routing. The Middlesex County Sheriff's Office may be the arresting law-enforcement agency, but jail operations after booking are handled by MPRSC. Calling ahead is also important before any visit because video visitation, security screening, and facility access rules can change.

Middle Peninsula Visit Rules
MPRSC publishes separate pages for on-site video visitation and remote video visitation. The research did not support adding exact visit hours here, so visitors should follow the posted schedule and rules on the official pages before leaving for the jail or setting up a remote session. Valid identification, video-session rules, and facility conduct requirements should be expected.
Travel planning should be practical. The jail is in Saluda, and official research did not locate a public transit route, visitor parking fee schedule, or detailed entrance map. Visitors coming from Gloucester or Mathews often approach the Saluda area by U.S. 17, while visitors from Urbanna, Deltaville, King and Queen, or King William may use rural local roads before reaching Oakes Landing Road.
| Visit or route | Where to check | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| On-site video visit | MPRSC on-site video visit page | Posted schedule, ID rules, arrival process, and video station rules. |
| Remote video visit | MPRSC remote video visit page | Account setup, approved schedule, device rules, and visit conduct. |
| Attorney or professional visit | MPRSC phone routing | Current professional access procedure and any appointment requirement. |
| In-person travel | MPRSC main phone line | Visitor entrance, parking, security screening, and any accessibility needs. |
Middle Peninsula Mail Money
The MPRSC inmate information area links to the jail's service pages for mail, money, phones, property, fees, programs, and weekend inmate rules. Mail should use the inmate's full name and the MPRSC mailing address. Books, magazines, and newspapers generally must come directly from the publisher or distributor and comply with jail rules. Packages, property, and contraband are restricted.
Telephone service is handled through Global Tel Link according to the MPRSC inmate telephone page. Money may be deposited by methods listed on the MPRSC inmate money page, including money orders, lobby kiosk deposits, phone deposits, and TouchPay online deposits. Oasis Canteen is the published canteen or package ordering route, and medical or medication fees may affect an inmate account balance.
| Service | Official route | Key detail |
|---|---|---|
| MPRSC inmate mail | Use inmate name and MPRSC address; publications must follow publisher or distributor rules. | |
| Phone | Global Tel Link | AdvancePay and PIN Debit options are described by the jail's phone page. |
| Money order | MPRSC money rules | Payable to the inmate and sent or delivered under the posted rules with sender information. |
| Lobby, phone, online deposits | TouchPay and jail-listed options | Use only the deposit methods linked or named by MPRSC. |
| Canteen packages | Oasis Canteen | Use the official package route and check current product limits before ordering. |
Middle Peninsula Jail Records
Jail-level public-record requests should go to the MPRSC FOIA channel when the record sought is held by the regional jail. The MPRSC Freedom of Information Act page names Lt. Col. Ted Hull, Executive Director, as FOIA officer. Requests may be routed to the facility by mail, fax, email at mprscfoia@mprsc.org, phone, in person, orally, or through the online contact route described by MPRSC.
Virginia FOIA gives the public a process to request existing public records, but it does not make every jail or criminal record open without limits. The state FOIA policy appears in Virginia Code section 2.2-3700, the request and response process appears in section 2.2-3704, and law-enforcement record limits appear in section 2.2-3706. Ask for a specific record, such as a booking record, jail incident record, or custody date range, rather than a broad question about a person.
Note: MPRSC jail records are separate from court case records, sheriff incident records, and state prison records.
Middle Peninsula Custody Fallbacks
The MPRSC roster covers current regional jail custody. Once a person is sentenced to state-responsible prison custody and transferred, the correct search route becomes the Virginia Department of Corrections offender locator. VADOC visitation, mail, and money rules are statewide and should not be mixed with MPRSC rules. Virginia VINELink can also help with custody notifications when release or transfer alerts matter more than a one-time roster search.
Federal and immigration custody are different systems. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator covers sentenced federal prisoners and some former federal prisoners. Federal pretrial detention may involve the U.S. Marshals Service Eastern District of Virginia, a federal court, counsel, or a contracted jail, but no Middlesex-specific USMS contract was confirmed in the research. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is separate again and searches by A-Number with country of birth or by biographic information. An ICE detainer may affect local release, but it is not the same thing as an MPRSC booking.
| Custody type | Lookup route | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Regional jail | MPRSC current inmate listing | Current pretrial, local sentenced, weekend, trustee, or program custody at MPRSC. |
| State prison | VADOC offender locator | After transfer to Virginia state correctional custody or supervision. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal prison custody, not local jail booking or Middlesex County charges. |
| Federal pretrial custody | USMS, federal court, or counsel | When a federal case is pending and no BOP result appears. |
| Immigration custody | ICE detainee locator | When an immigration detainee or ICE transfer is suspected. |
Middle Peninsula Jail Programs
MPRSC publishes official pages for jail programs, religious services, PREA reporting, weekend inmate information, inmate property, and inmate fees. The research found GED programming, substance-abuse programming, a trustee program, religious services, and commissary incentives tied to trustee participation. These programs are still subject to classification, conduct, staffing, and security limits. Classification means the jail's process for deciding housing, movement, programs, and supervision level.
The weekend inmate information page is unusually specific for a regional jail facility. It describes court-ordered weekend reporting, commitment paperwork, identification, clothing, medicine, and money expectations. The PREA page states a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse and harassment and provides reporting context. For broader Middlesex County custody context, the Middlesex County inmate population overview explains how the regional jail connects to state, federal, and court records.
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and service rules with MPRSC before traveling or sending funds.
