How to find an inmate
Vermont runs a unified state correctional system, so people detained in Washington County (including Montpelier and Barre) are held at Vermont DOC facilities rather than a county jail. To find out where someone is held, use the inmate lookup on the Vermont DOC website, or call the DOC central office in Waterbury with the person's full name and date of birth. The same DOC locator covers people sentenced to state prison.
Visitation
Visitation rules depend on which Vermont DOC facility holds the person, and visitors usually must be approved first. Once you know the facility, call it or check the DOC website for current scheduling and identification requirements.
Bail and bond
Bail is set by the Vermont Superior Court, Washington Unit, in Barre. Call the court clerk or the facility holding the person to confirm the bail amount and accepted payment methods.
Mail and money
Mail must go to the specific DOC facility where the person is held and must follow DOC mail rules. Money can be deposited only through DOC-approved methods, so confirm current options with the DOC website or the facility.
