Verify District 5 Supervision

District 5 Release Supervision

VADOC Probation and Parole District 5 is the state post-conviction community-supervision office for Gloucester, Mathews, Middlesex, King and Queen, King William, and West Point. Its Gloucester label reflects the office location and regional service area. It does not mean a King and Queen conviction moved counties or that the person was released from a Gloucester jail.

District 5 enters the timeline when VADOC probation or parole applies. Parole is release from confinement under Parole Board authority with continued supervision. Probation is supervision ordered by a court, sometimes after confinement and sometimes instead of part of it. Either status means the person can be outside a prison while VADOC authority continues. Final discharge occurs later, when the supervision authority ends.

Verify District 5 Release Status

Start with the VADOC Inmate and Supervisee Locator. It covers current VADOC custody and supervision, including probationers and parolees. Enter the first three letters of the first name and the full last name, or use the seven-digit DOC ID. Optional location, race, gender, and age-range filters can narrow a known match. VADOC says the data update daily and can be inaccurate or stale.

1. Confirm that the case involves state post-conviction supervision, not local pretrial release.
2. Search the VADOC locator using the DOC ID when known or the required name fields.
3. Compare identifiers and demographics before accepting a common-name result.
4. Read the supervision and office or location labels literally, including any District 5 context.
5. Contact District 5 for appropriate confirmation or correction when the result is unclear.
6. For a fully discharged person, request inactive VADOC records and review the sentencing court file.

A current supervisee result supports the fact that a person has physically left prison and remains under VADOC authority. It is not a full release record and does not give public access to the entire supervision file. A no-result cannot prove there was no prior parole or probation because the locator does not promise a permanent index of inactive people.

The King and Queen parole and probation overview gives the broader comparison between supervision types and verification channels.

District 5 Release Contact

District 5 can route questions about active state supervision tied to King and Queen County. Detailed probation and parole information may be exempt under Virginia law, so callers should expect identity checks and limited confirmation rather than a complete public dossier. Use the DOC ID, full name, date of birth, sentencing court, and known release date when asking staff to identify the correct record.

The office directory is the controlling source for current service-area and contact information. It expressly includes King and Queen. A person supervised from Gloucester can therefore remain tied to a King and Queen case. Office assignment may change, so use the live VADOC listing when the record shows a different location.

For an official release or inactive record, contact VADOC central records rather than asking District 5 to create a historical summary. VADOC’s central address is P.O. Box 26963, Richmond, VA 23261, with phone 804-674-3000 and DOCmail@vadoc.virginia.gov. Active-record requests generally go to the office chief or unit holding the record.

Note: District 5 may confirm or route active supervision, but confidentiality rules can limit the details available to a requester.

District 5 Release Proof

The strongest evidence combines the state release document with current supervision information. VADOC identifies an Order of Release, Conditions of Probation, Conditions of Parole, and notification-of-release documents in its facility-release process. These show whether the prison departure was discharge, parole, probation, or transfer to a detainer. A locator result then shows whether VADOC still lists the person within active custody or supervision.

A Virginia Parole Board grant is not same-day release proof. The Board makes parole decisions, while VADOC completes planning, release, and supervision. Public meeting information and monthly decision reports can establish that a matter was considered or granted. The signed release record and later locator status establish the custodial and supervisory events.

If the person has fully completed supervision, use VADOC Form 050_F17 and the agency FOIA channel to request inactive-offender information. Ask for the actual release date, supervision start, final discharge if maintained and releasable, releasing facility, disposition, and dated release document. The sentencing court can preserve the order even after the active locator stops returning the person.

Supervisee

A person currently under VADOC probation or parole authority in the community.

Discharge

The formal end of the identified custody or supervision term.

Absconder

A person alleged to have left supervision without permission.

Revocation

An official action that can cancel release status and return a person to custody.

Separate District 5 Supervision

Middle Peninsula Local Probation and Pretrial Services is a different system. It serves Essex, Gloucester, King and Queen, King William, Mathews, and Middlesex, with offices in Gloucester and Tappahannock. Staff perform assessments for defendants booked at MPRSC and supervise eligible defendants after bond while a case remains pending. That is local pretrial or local supervision, not VADOC parole.

The local program lists 7400 Justice Drive, Gloucester, at 804-693-3088, and 305 Prince Street, Tappahannock, at 804-445-0600. Published hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The shared Gloucester geography can cause confusion, so name the agency each time. A bond release supervised locally does not become state parole merely because the office is regional.

Use the sentence and release documents to identify the lane. “Bond” generally points to the pending case and pretrial conditions. “Conditions of Parole” points to a VADOC-supervised prison release. “Conditions of Probation” must be read with the court order and assigned agency. The office named in the live record is more reliable than a guess based on the county.

District 5 Release Violations

Supervision status can change after physical release. An alleged violation may lead to an officer warrant, court capias, Parole Board warrant, hearing, or revocation process. A person outside prison may therefore have an unresolved custody issue. VADOC’s Most Wanted page is a selective fugitive channel and may show photographs, descriptors, or a “Captured” update, but it is not a complete warrant search.

Absence from Most Wanted does not prove that no warrant or violation exists. Confirm with District 5, the appropriate court, or law enforcement as permitted. A current locator result also should not be stretched into a claim about compliance. It shows the agency’s public status and location context, not every event in the supervision record.

Revocation can return a person to custody or change the terms of release. A Board or court action date is separate from the date the person is physically taken into custody. Keep each event labeled. The later facility record supplies the admission transaction if confinement resumes.

Note: A person can be physically out of prison yet remain subject to active supervision, a warrant, or a pending violation decision.

District 5 Parole Decisions

The Virginia Parole Board’s public-meetings page publishes current meeting information, agendas, remote access when offered, and archived minutes. Dates are irregular, not a guaranteed weekly or monthly hearing list. Monthly parole decision reports provide published actions and reasons. Review the relevant month and later reports because review, vote, certification, release planning, and physical departure are separate stages.

Published outcomes can include grant, denial with reasons, deferral, and violation or revocation action. A grant authorizes the next steps but does not prove the person left prison that day. Confirm release through the VADOC locator and dated release documents, then use District 5 for continuing supervision.

Ordinary discretionary parole was abolished for most felonies committed on or after January 1, 1995, subject to statutory exceptions. Eligibility depends on offense date, sentence, and category. Do not calculate it from a broad rule. The Board process and VADOC time computation each answer distinct questions.

Confirm District 5 Discharge

Active District 5 supervision can end through completion, court action, Board action, revocation, transfer, death, or another event reflected in the official record. The current locator may stop returning a fully inactive person because its stated population is active custody and supervision. That disappearance is not enough to assign a discharge date.

Request the dated VADOC record and check the sentencing court. Ask for existing material showing supervision start, actual discharge date, disposition, and any transfer or revocation. Virginia FOIA allows actual-cost charges and may permit an advance deposit above $200. Corrections and supervision exemptions can restrict details, but nonexempt segregable parts remain the correct request target.

A complete King and Queen timeline distinguishes MPRSC release, VADOC prison release, District 5 supervision, and final VADOC discharge. Each can occur on a different date. The regional labels are not contradictions; they reflect the agencies that handled successive stages.
