Where to Route Rappahannock County Jail Questions
Rappahannock County uses RSW Regional Jail for jail custody, while the Sheriff's Office remains the local law-enforcement contact for Rappahannock County arrests, incident records, warrant service, and public-safety questions.
RSW Regional Jail
6601 Winchester Road
Front Royal, VA 22630
Main: (540) 622-6097 or (540) 622-8678
Booking: (540) 622-8620 or (540) 622-8683
Records Department: (540) 622-5024
RSW serves Rappahannock, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties. Confirm lobby hours before traveling; research found a prior RSW lobby notice stating normal operations from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but current public hours should be checked with the jail.
Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office
Sheriff Connie S. Compton
383 Porter St.
Washington, VA
Phone: (540) 675-5300
Emergency: 911
Use the Sheriff's Office for local law-enforcement records, arresting-agency questions, incident reports, and county FOIA routing. Rappahannock County's FOIA page explains Virginia FOIA access and links county FOIA officer and request materials; law-enforcement record access is also shaped by Va. Code ยง 2.2-3706.
Choose the source by the type of record or custody status you are trying to confirm:
- For someone currently booked at the regional jail, start with jail inmate records and RSW Booking or Records.
- For booking-photo context, use jail roster mugshots and remember that public roster details may be limited.
- For charges filed after an arrest, search court records after a jail arrest; RSW directs charge questions to Virginia Court Case Information after the July 1, 2026 sealing changes.
- For facility rules, visitation, mail, phones, or accounts, use the RSW Regional Jail page and the jail's official departments.
- For a sentenced Virginia prisoner, use the Virginia Department of Corrections Inmate and Supervisee Locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System, because no BOP or ICE facility was found in Rappahannock County.
- For custody-status notifications, use Virginia VINE.
- No official Rappahannock County Sheriff mobile app was found in the project research, so use the official web and phone channels above.
