This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record.


Choose the Correct Roanoke Office

For an immediate status question, contact the Roanoke City Adult Detention Center operation at 324 Campbell Avenue SW, Roanoke, VA 24016. The operation runs at all hours and lists 540-853-6777; daytime information is 540-853-1925. The City directory also lists Detention Center Security at 540-853-2621. Call before visiting so staff can direct the request correctly.
