District 22 Release Supervision
Martinsville Probation and Parole District 22 is a VADOC community-corrections office. It is not a jail, prison, halfway house, or release desk. People assigned there may be on probation, parole, or post-release supervision while living outside secure confinement. Particular cases may still include residential, reporting, treatment, or movement limits, so a district listing should not be reduced to “completely free.”
The office is the local state-supervision contact for the Henry, Martinsville, and Patrick area identified in VADOC analysis. The current online directory contains a mismatched service-area tooltip tied to another district. That visible inconsistency should not be copied as fact. Confirm the assignment through the person's locator result and the Martinsville office. The office can verify what it is permitted to disclose, but it will not provide an open list of everyone supervised in Henry County.
| Status | Custody meaning | Verification source |
|---|---|---|
| Parole | Eligible prison sentence continues under conditional community release | Release order, locator, District 22 |
| Probation | Court-ordered community supervision | Court order and district assignment |
| Post-release supervision | Statutory supervision after confinement | Sentencing and VADOC records |
| Discharged | The identified VADOC supervision ended | Discharge record, not mere locator absence |
Verify District 22 Release Status
Use the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator before calling. Search by seven-digit DOC ID when possible. For a name search, enter the first three letters of the first name and the full last name, then use optional filters carefully. Compare the displayed identifiers, status, and location. A district rather than an institution can support that the person left secure VADOC custody.
The locator updates daily and can be inaccurate or outdated. A no-match does not prove the person is an absconder, discharged, or never supervised. The record may use a different name, lag behind a move, or fall outside public scope after final discharge. Keep the date searched and exact status wording, then contact District 22 when a lawful purpose requires clarification.
- Confirm the person's identity and seven-digit DOC ID when available.
- Search the VADOC locator and note the exact listed district and status.
- Compare the result with the Order of Release and supervision conditions.
- Call the listed office to confirm assignment within lawful disclosure limits.
- Use a records request for a durable discharge or transfer record.
District 22 Records Contact
The VADOC facilities and offices directory lists the Martinsville office contact. Use the main number rather than relying on an employee name, since staffing can change. No release-desk hours are published in the Henry County research. Prepare the DOC ID, full name, and the exact question before calling.
Martinsville Probation and Parole District 2232 Bridge Street, Suite 300
Martinsville, VA 24112

Release desk hours: unpublished
Ask whether the office is the currently assigned district and which public record documents the status. Staff may not disclose case-management details, addresses, schedules, or personal supervision information. A request for an existing document is different from a demand that an officer explain or certify a person's full legal situation.
The VADOC maintaining unit or District 22 chief may receive a request for the release order, district assignment, discharge date, or status record when maintained and lawfully releasable. General VADOC contact is P.O. Box 26963, Richmond, VA 23261, 804-674-3000. The department FOIA address is FOIA@vadoc.virginia.gov. Virginia Parole Board records follow a separate route because the Board decides parole while VADOC administers release and supervision.
District 22 Parole Records
Parole is conditional community release from a parole-eligible state sentence. Virginia abolished discretionary parole for most felonies committed on or after January 1, 1995, subject to statutory exceptions. Older offense dates and defined categories may remain eligible. The Virginia Parole Board's monthly reports can show a grant, denial, deferral, or other Board action using the report's own terms.
A parole grant is not a physical release timestamp. Planning, conditions, notices, document signatures, and detainer checks can occur after the decision. Confirm the completed event through VADOC's notification-of-release letter, Order of Release, and actual locator transition. If District 22 appears afterward, the person has moved into community supervision, not completed all state authority.
- Parole grant
- A Board decision authorizing conditional release after required planning, not proof of exit.
- Parole conditions
- Rules signed as part of community release.
- Revocation
- An official action that can end or alter parole after a violation process.
- Detainer
- Another authority's hold that may redirect the person instead of community release.
The Parole Board reports index supports decision research. Pair it with the facility release record. Do not infer an exit date from the vote month or meeting date.
District 22 Probation Records
Probation is ordered by a court and need not follow a prison term. It may begin after a local jail sentence, after a state sentence, or without incarceration. A person can therefore be on District 22 probation without being a released VADOC prisoner. The signed sentencing order and conditions explain the legal basis, while the district record shows assignment and supervision administration.
Henry County General District Court handles misdemeanors and initial felony proceedings. Circuit Court controls felony trials and sentences. Obtain the signed order from the appropriate clerk when the length or type of probation matters. The public docket is a useful index but should not replace the signed order. Martinsville City is an independent locality, so select the jurisdiction shown on the case papers rather than assuming every Martinsville office assignment belongs to Henry County court.
Post-release supervision is also distinct. It is a statutory supervision component that follows confinement in applicable sentences. Use the court's and VADOC's exact labels rather than grouping every community status under parole. The Henry County parole and probation page compares these paths and explains how supervision ends.
Note: Completing the custodial part of a sentence does not by itself terminate probation, costs, another case, or an unrelated detainer.
District 22 Violation Checks
Never convert a missing locator result into an absconder or warrant claim. An absconder is a person whom the responsible authority officially records as having stopped complying with supervision and whose whereabouts are unknown. A capias or warrant requires an official record. Search the relevant court docket, contact District 22, and use official law-enforcement information. No county-published probation absconder list was found.
A violation allegation is not a conviction. The record may lead to a hearing, Board action, a court order, continued supervision, or custody. If an official source reports a detainer or revocation process, use that exact term and date. Do not infer the outcome from an arrest entry or missed appointment rumor.
When a person appears back in an institution after a district assignment, compare the new custody date with the court or Board record. The move might relate to a violation, a new case, another sentence, or a data correction. The maintaining agency must resolve which explanation applies. District 22 records and VADOC custody records answer related but different questions.
District 22 Discharge Evidence
End of supervision is a separate event from release from secure custody. A discharge record should identify the authority, effective date, and status that ended. Locator disappearance alone is weaker evidence because the locator is not described as a permanent archive. Request the existing discharge entry or letter when the completed supervision date matters for a lawful, purpose-neutral reason.
The strongest post-release chain starts with the signed release papers, continues through the locator's district assignment, and ends with the discharge record. Each step answers a different question. The first shows the terms of leaving custody, the second shows active community supervision, and the third shows that the identified state oversight ended.
If two records conflict, keep access dates and exact labels. Ask whether one is a future projection, a court order awaiting processing, or a daily public update. Contact the office that created the disputed field. The Henry County release-record overview places District 22 alongside county jail, VADOC institution, federal, and immigration custody sources without merging them.
