New Kent County Jail Inmate Bail & Bonds
New Kent County bail guide
New Kent County does not run a jail. The sheriff uses the Pamunkey Regional Jail. Henrico’s Jail East happens to sit in New Kent, but it holds Henrico inmates.
1. Where are New Kent arrestees held?
At the Pamunkey Regional Jail, 7240 Courtland Farm Road, Hanover, VA 23069, phone 804-365-6400.
2. Where is the magistrate?
At the Barhamsville jail complex, Henrico Regional Jail - East, 17320 New Kent Highway, Barhamsville, VA 23011, 804-652-1217.
3. How do I search?
4. Which court?
The New Kent General District Court, 12001 Courthouse Circle, New Kent, VA 23124, 804-966-9530, and the Circuit Court, 12001 Courthouse Circle, New Kent, VA 23124, 804-966-9520.
5. Why doesn't New Kent hold its own inmates?
The county runs no jail, so the sheriff sends people to Pamunkey Regional Jail in Hanover, about 40 minutes northwest. Henrico's Jail East in Barhamsville sits in the county but holds Henrico inmates.
6. Where is bail set in New Kent?
At the magistrate office inside the Barhamsville jail complex on New Kent Highway, usually within a few hours (Va. Code § 19.2-80). The magistrate may release on a promise or require a bond (Va. Code § 19.2-123).
7. How do New Kent families post bond?
Families pay cash, put up a home, or call a DCJS bondsman (Va. Code § 9.1-185), who keeps 10% to 15% (Va. Code § 9.1-185.8). A magistrate is available all night (Va. Code § 19.2-48.1), and Pamunkey also accepts bonds.
8. When does a New Kent judge review bail?
For people still at Pamunkey, the Courthouse Circle court takes a fresh look at bail on its next day (Va. Code § 19.2-158) and covers counsel (Va. Code § 19.2-159). Circuit Court hears appeals (Va. Code § 19.2-124).
9. Where are New Kent cases heard?
At 12001 Courthouse Circle, just off I-64. New Kent misdemeanor verdicts may be appealed for 10 days (Va. Code § 16.1-132). Felonies first see a probable-cause hearing (Va. Code § 19.2-218). JDR is on the second floor (804-966-9620) (Va. Code § 16.1-241).
10. Can a New Kent defendant get a lawyer?
Yes. A sworn statement about money lets the Courthouse Circle judge appoint counsel when jail is possible (Va. Code § 19.2-159).
11. What other terms might a New Kent bond have?
I-64 traffic stops lead to many DUI and drug charges here, so testing and alcohol limits are common. Curfews and stay-away orders are also used (Va. Code § 19.2-123). Out-of-state drivers may face holds from home (Va. Code § 19.2-102) (Va. Code § 19.2-85).
12. What follows a missed New Kent date?
New Kent deputies get an arrest order, the posted money is lost, and a new count is possible (Va. Code § 19.2-128).
13. Where do federal New Kent cases go, and what do co-signers owe?
The Eastern District of Virginia tries them in Richmond, about 30 minutes west (18 U.S.C. § 3142). New Kent co-signers may be billed after a no-show (Va. Code § 19.2-143) or may surrender the person (Va. Code § 19.2-149).
14. Who can confirm a New Kent County bond?
Pamunkey: 804-365-6400. Magistrate: 804-652-1217. District court: 804-966-9530.
