About the Henry County Adult Detention Center
Henry County has a large detention center that has the capacity to house up to 400 inmates at any one time. It is operated by the sheriff’s office in the county, and is located in Martinsville, VA. This building was completed in 2022 and has been operational since March 25 of that year. As a full service location, it offers several different housing options within the facility, including minimum security pods, medium security, and maximum security cells, along with the local Work Release program. Offering each level of security allows the jail to house both those who are awaiting their trial and those who are serving a full sentence and can meet the needs of each. Inmates who qualify and are sentenced to the work release program are housed in a separate section and will be permitted to leave the premises each day to attend work, with a limited amount of time given to get to work and return, as well as being permitted to have the clothing items that are required for their job. Pay is tracked and used to pay chid support and court fees as needed, and a tracking device is worn so they can be located if they are late or do not return as expected. Provided with three meals each day, access to medical care, laundry, clothing, bedding, and a commissary, all of the basic needs of inmates are provided for. A full medical wing offers a lab as well as a pharmacy, along with exam rooms, emergency treatment spaces, mental health area, and more to assist in decreasing trips to the hospital and keeping all inmates healthy and cared for. Inmates are also encouraged to communicate with their loved ones while they are incarcerated, as a way to maintain relationships, improve mental health, and keep a support system for after their release. Recent changes to the mail policy now require that mail be sent to the Henry County Adult Detention Center, with the inmate name and ID number, at Facility ID Number 5094, PO Box 18247, Greensboro, NC 27419. This address delivers the mail to a third party service that will open each piece of mail, check for contraband, ad then scan the mail into the electronic delivering system. Use of this system removes the possibility of contraband making it into the jail through the mail and offers inmates an efficient way to access their mail at the kiosks or tablets that are present in the housing units. Inmates can also respond to this mail immediately via instant message from that tablet, reducing the response times between sending mail and receiving a response.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Henry County Adult Detention Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Henry County Adult Detention Center, call the jail’s booking line at 276-618-7158.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Henry County Adult Detention Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Henry County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Henry County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Henry County Adult Detention Center?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Henry County and other Virginia and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Henry County Adult Detention Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Henry County Adult Detention Center Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
