Henry County Jail Overview
The official Henry County Adult Detention Center page identifies the ADC as the county's detention facility and gives the public detention address and control-room contact. It is operated by the Henry County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Wayne Davis. The sheriff's administrative office is a separate public-safety address, so jail visitors and records seekers should not assume that the sheriff office counter and the jail entrance are the same destination.
The county states that the new ADC opened for housing inmates on March 25, 2022. The same official page describes a 400-bed facility with Maximum, Medium, and Minimum pods plus a Work-Release program. Those terms matter for a Henry County Adult Detention Center inmate lookup because the jail is not a state prison and not the Martinsville city jail. It is the local sheriff's jail for Henry County custody, local booking, recent admissions, and local detention records.
The sheriff's organization page identifies Corrections as one of the office's four divisions, which ties the ADC to the broader sheriff structure along with Patrol, Investigations, and Professional Standards.
The official Henry County ADC page is shown in the county screenshot captured from Henry County's detention-center page.
The page confirms the detention-center facts used here: the facility name, public address, control-room phone, opening date, and 400-bed description.
Henry County Jail Capacity
Henry County's official jail page lists the Adult Detention Center as a 400-bed facility. The Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails capacity reporting adds population context: the 2023 report lists Henry County at 400 rated capacity with an average daily population of 234.24. The research also notes that the 2022 state capacity report still reflected the old 67-bed facility during the transition to the new jail, so current Henry County ADC capacity should be read through the 2023 capacity report and the county's own ADC page.
| Measure | Reported figure | Source context |
|---|---|---|
| Facility opening | March 25, 2022 | Official Henry County ADC page |
| Rated capacity | 400 beds | Official ADC page and BLRJ 2023 jail-capacity report |
| Average daily population | 234.24 | BLRJ 2023 jail-capacity report |
| Housing description | Maximum, Medium, Minimum pods; Work Release | Official Henry County ADC page |
Henry County ADC Inmate Lookup
The correct online route for current Henry County Adult Detention Center custody is Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements, hosted by Southern Software for the Henry County Sheriff's Office. The public interface supports Current Confinements, Admits by Date Range, Charges, and Arresting Agency searches. It is dynamic and may display loading text while current bookings are gathered, so a narrow search can work better than a broad one.
- Open the Inmate Confinements page rather than a general sheriff homepage.
- Use Current Confinements when the person may be in the Henry County jail now.
- Use Admits by Date Range for a recent booking or release, keeping the date span within the posted limit.
- Filter by charge or arresting agency when those details are known.
- Call the ADC control room or sheriff non-emergency number if the roster stalls, omits the person, or does not answer a custody question.
Citizen Connect is for Henry County local jail custody. Sentenced state prisoners, probationers, parolees, and people in a Virginia Department of Corrections facility should be checked through the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator. For release or transfer alerts, Virginia VINELink can be used as a notification tool rather than a single roster snapshot.
| Search mode | Best use | Local note |
|---|---|---|
| Current Confinements | Person may be held now | Use first for active Henry County ADC custody |
| Admits by Date Range | Recent booking or recent release | Custom ranges must stay within 31 days |
| Charges | Known charge wording | Do not treat a roster charge as a conviction |
| Arresting Agency | Known arrest agency | Visible options include HCSO, Martinsville PD, VSP, and U.S. Marshals Virginia |
Henry County ADC Contact
The Adult Detention Center has its own public address and control-room phone. The sheriff's administrative office remains useful for records routing, FOIA questions, complaint routing, and general law-enforcement contact, but the detention-center control room is the direct public phone listed for current jail matters. Use the jail address for detention-center visits and the sheriff address for sheriff administration unless staff direct otherwise.

Henry County Jail Visits
Accessible official Henry County web text did not publish a current visitation schedule, dress code, visitor-ID rule, child-visitor rule, or video-visitation vendor for the ADC. That absence should be treated as a records fact, not filled from third-party jail sites. Call the control room before travel, especially because older references to jail video visitation do not prove a current system, schedule, or provider at the 2022 facility.
| Topic | Published local detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Official schedule not located in accessible county text | Call 276-618-7158 before travel |
| Visitor ID | Not located | Confirm with ADC staff |
| Video visits | Current vendor and schedule not located | Do not rely on old board-minute references |
| Attorney visits | Public schedule not located | Attorneys should contact the ADC directly |
Henry County ADC Mail
The sheriff's web materials link an official Henry County Adult Detention Center inmate-mail policy PDF, but the research could not extract the PDF text from the local shell. Because the current official page did not publish phone rates, commissary vendors, money-deposit fees, or mail-format text in accessible web copy, those details should be confirmed with the ADC instead of taken from vendor guesses.
| Service | Confirmed source | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Official inmate-mail policy PDF is linked from sheriff materials | Use the official PDF or call the ADC | |
| Phone calls | No local rate or provider page located | Ask the control room for current rules |
| Commissary and deposits | No official vendor or fee page located | Do not assume a vendor from search results |
| Records request | Sheriff's FOIA page | Use FOIA for records not shown on Citizen Connect |
Henry County Jail Programs
The county's own ADC description confirms Work Release and custody pods. Research also documents the local PREA page, where the sheriff's office states a zero-tolerance policy for sexual misconduct and gives a written complaint route to Sheriff Wayne Davis at the sheriff's Kings Mountain Road address. Design and news sources describe medical, mental-health, counseling, education, and job-skill resources in the newer facility, but those should be understood as facility context rather than a published current program menu.
- Work Release
- A local jail placement that lets eligible inmates work while still under jail control.
- Classification
- The jail's process for assigning custody level, housing, and supervision needs.
- PREA
- The Prison Rape Elimination Act framework for sexual-safety policies and reporting.
Note: Confirm current custody, visit rules, and mail instructions with Henry County ADC before traveling or sending items.
