§ 53.1-228. Disposal of unclaimed personal property of prisoner
If any prisoner in a state, local or community correctional facility, upon being released or having escaped, leaves personal property valued at less than $100 in the custody of such facility for six months after his release or escape without making a claim therefor, the Director or the sheriff, as the case may be, may sell such property at public sale or may otherwise dispose of the property. The proceeds of such sale shall escheat to the Commonwealth and shall be paid into the state treasury and credited to the Literary Fund.
