Where to Look
For current Accomack County jail custody, start with the Accomack County Jail and Sheriff's Office. The jail phone is (757) 787-1095. The sheriff's main office phones are (757) 787-1131 and (757) 824-5666. The office location is 23323 Wise Ct., Accomac, VA 23301, and the mailing address is P.O. Box 149, Accomac, VA 23301. Sheriff W. Todd Wessells heads the Accomack County Sheriff's Office.
For records not posted online, the sheriff's FOIA contact is Captain Carl Wright at cwright@co.accomack.va.us. The local FOIA page lists a five-business-day initial response period, staff time of $40 per hour after the first hour, printed copies at $0.08 per page, and a half deposit if the estimated cost is more than $200. Requesters should identify the record with reasonable specificity, such as full name, booking date, arrest date, incident number, or court case number when known.
Other offices may hold the record instead. Eastern Shore Regional Jail can be reached at (757) 678-0440 for people held regionally from Accomack or Northampton. The Commonwealth's Attorney handles prosecution questions at (757) 787-2877 and is located at 22477 Center Parkway, Accomac, VA 23301. The Clerk of Circuit Court maintains a public records room at 23316 Courthouse Ave., Accomac, VA 23301.
