Community Corrections Center Release Paths
The Hampton Community Corrections Center, also called the Annex, is a Hampton Sheriff’s Office facility at West Pembroke Avenue. It is not interchangeable with Adult Intake or the temporarily closed Hampton Correctional Facility at High Court Lane. Hampton is an independent city, even though “Hampton County” appears in the website’s search-focused name.
A departure may be completion of local confinement or a community-corrections placement, release on bond, a court-ordered release, or transfer. The key question is whether the person entered the community or remained in legal custody elsewhere. If a program or custody assignment changed but Sheriff custody continued, calling the event an unconditional release would be inaccurate.
| Possible event | Best confirming record |
|---|---|
| Local term completed | Sheriff release transaction and sentence calculation |
| Bond or court release | Physical release entry and signed court order |
| Transfer to another jail | Transfer time and receiving agency |
| State commitment | Hampton transfer record followed by VADOC custody record |
Ask for the event type in plain terms. A reply that someone is no longer at Pembroke Avenue cannot distinguish these paths without the destination and the authority for the move.
Confirm an Annex Release
Begin with Hampton Sheriff records because this is a local correctional facility. A live inmate interface can help test present custody, but it is not a released-person archive. Absence can result from release, transfer, a move within the local system, a spelling issue, or a feed delay.
- Gather the full legal name, birth date, booking number, case number, and dates at the Community Corrections Center.
- Call the Hampton Sheriff at 757-926-2540 and ask whether the person remains in Hampton physical custody.
- Request the booking and release or transfer transaction from Sheriff Inmate Records or the FOIA officer.
- Ask for the release date and time, transaction type, authorizing document, and destination agency.
- Compare the answer with the signed Hampton court order, then continue with any receiving jail or VADOC if the result was a transfer.
The site’s Hampton release search guide covers the broader path when the record crosses local, regional, state, federal, or immigration systems. Do not search VADOC first unless the Hampton record points to a state commitment or state supervision.
Note: A current-custody search can narrow the inquiry, but only the dated release or transfer record establishes the past event.
Community Corrections Center Contact
The Community Corrections Center shares its published address and main telephone with the Hampton Sheriff’s Office. The official facility page and Sheriff directory are the first sources to check before visiting, because public access and operating details can change.

Use the official Community Corrections Center page for the place listing. Use the Hampton Sheriff’s official page for the agency route and the city FOIA directory for the records officer. Hampton says requests can be made through several channels, including portal, mail, fax, email, phone, or in person.
Ask for the current method before sending sensitive identifiers. Fees are not fixed in the research, so request an estimate. Specify electronic delivery if the record is regularly kept in that form, and invite segregation or redaction of exempt content.
About Hampton Community Corrections
The Annex is a local correctional and community-corrections facility under the Hampton Sheriff. It should not be described as a VADOC prison or a regional jail. That type distinction controls both the search route and the meaning of a departure.
The Community Corrections Center is especially important while the Sheriff labels the High Court Lane Hampton Correctional Facility temporarily closed. The Sheriff’s present contact block points to Pembroke Avenue as the available correctional address. Historical records may still use the older jail name, so any request that spans the change should name both sites.
Community corrections is also not a synonym for every kind of post-release supervision. Hampton has local pretrial services and local court programs, while VADOC District 30 handles state probation and parole supervision. A court order should identify the legal form of supervision and the office responsible for it.
The city’s official facility listing shows the Hampton Community Corrections Center location and agency context.
Use the source page to confirm the current listing, then direct a person-specific release question to Sheriff Inmate Records rather than drawing a conclusion from the general facility page.
Hampton’s Three Local Custody Sites
Hampton local custody is easy to misread because three city addresses perform different functions. Adult Intake on North King Street handles booking and immediate routing. The Community Corrections Center on West Pembroke Avenue is the present correctional address. Hampton Correctional Facility on High Court Lane is marked temporarily closed but remains important for older records.
State the date and exact facility in every inquiry. If the person entered through Adult Intake and later appeared at the Annex, request both the intake transaction and the later release or transfer entry. If an old court or booking record names High Court Lane, do not assume the record vanished when the building closed.
If a Hampton answer identifies WTRJ, obtain the destination and event time, then restart the inquiry with the regional jail. That step prevents a local transfer from being misreported as release into the community.
Request Community Corrections Records
A focused public-record request should seek existing records tied to a named event. Include the person’s full name, booking number if known, the Pembroke Avenue facility, and a narrow date range. Ask for the physical release or transfer entry rather than a broad explanation.
- Admission and booking date and time
- Release or transfer date and time
- Transaction type and releasing authority
- Destination agency when custody continued
- Releasable booking photograph and associated booking number
The Hampton Sheriff’s Inmate Records unit works with court documentation and the Jail Management System. It calculates local time and good time for program participation, submits state time, answers correspondence, and prepares periodic reports. Those duties help identify precise existing records without implying that the public receives every internal field.
Virginia FOIA ordinarily requires one of the statutory responses within five working days for qualifying requesters. A written notice can add seven working days when production is impractical in the first period. Charges may cover reasonable actual search and copying costs, and an advance deposit may be requested when expected cost exceeds $200.
Match the Hampton Court Order
Hampton General District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic matters, and preliminary felony proceedings. Hampton Circuit Court handles felony trials and dispositions and appeals from district court. A felony path can therefore produce more than one case number.
Use the Virginia court case portal to identify the correct court and case, then obtain the signed order when exact disposition language matters. The clerk’s file may show that release was legally ordered. It generally does not replace the Sheriff’s record of the time the person physically left or transferred.
If the order imposed local pretrial supervision, Hampton’s Pretrial Division is distinct from VADOC probation and parole. If it imposed a state-responsible sentence, follow the Hampton transfer record into VADOC. Labeling either outcome merely “community corrections” loses the legal distinction.
After an Annex Release
Where a person goes depends on the actual disposition. A community release may include individualized reporting duties found in the court order. A state transfer goes to the receiving VADOC institution or reception path. Another-jail transfer remains custody, even if the person leaves the Annex building.
Hampton also maintains a Re-Entry Council and a city-hosted packet for people who have just been released. Those sources provide purpose-neutral navigation involving documents, health, transportation, personal support, supervision, and property. They do not prove release and do not override directions in a court or supervision document.
Keep the release transaction, signed court order, and receiving-agency record together. If the sources conflict, ask the Sheriff for the disputed entry and any amendment or audit information. Avoid relying on rumor, a roster omission, or an undated screenshot.
