Often inmates will receive a stay of delivery to the Department of Corrections because of appeals. Local inmates receiving 12 months or less will serve their sentence at the Loudoun Adult Detention Center.
The Sheriff operates the Adult Detention Center, and all of his officers are sworn law enforcement deputies. They attend the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy located in Ashburn, Virginia. Some may eventually decide to change the path of their careers and pursue patrol duties. A career in corrections has many challenges and opportunities and many opt to stay in the corrections field.
In addition to the Adult Detention Center, there is another facility located about one-half mile from the jail that houses Work Release/Work Force. The Work Release Facility houses non-violent, minimum-security inmates that are soon to be released back into the community. The Work Release Facility has the capabilities of housing 47 inmates.
The inmates at the facility pay 12.00 @ day for staying at the facility and those in the work release program are released each day to go to and from their jobs with stringent rules and regulations. The money they make helps pay their fines, courts costs, make restitution to victims and support their family. This also eases the burden of financial support to the taxpayer.
Also housed at the Work Release Facility is the Sheriff’s Inmate Work Force. This group of inmates is also non-violent minimum custody level inmates. They work in the community under an armed guard and perform landscaping, trash pickup along roadways, parks, and waterways, minor construction, painting and other numerous tasks. They work on State, County and Town property as well as on property of charitable organizations. The inmates are credited $5.00 @ hour that goes directly to paying fines and court costs. Each year this group saves the county and municipalities within the county, thousands of dollars in the work they perform.
The equipment used by the Sheriff’s Inmate Work Force such as mowers, weed eaters, etc. is purchased from the inmate canteen fund. This fund receives no tax money and is supported by the inmates’ purchases and telephone dividends. This group has, for several years now, performed snow removal from county facilities, mowed areas that used to be under commercial contract, and has received a grant to buy a commercial power washer to aid in the removal of unsightly graffiti.
Loudoun County is also a partner in the Peumansend Creek Regional Jail located in Caroline County, Virginia, on Fort. A.P. Hill property. Arlington County, Caroline County, Prince William County, The Cities of Alexandria and Richmond also make up the authority of the jail. Peumansend Creek Regional Jail is a 330-bed minimum-security facility that is very program oriented and serves as an excellent facility to prepare inmates for reintroduction into society.
Common Misconceptions
- Why does the taxpayer have to provide inmates with television as well as cable?
The televisions are paid for out of an inmate account. The money used is from profits of goods sold through our commissary. The state law mandates that any proceeds from those sales must be used for benefits to the inmates. No taxpayer money is used to buy televisions or to provide cable service.
- What does it cost to feed inmates?
We provide meals that are approved by a dietician and give measured portions to the inmates. Our cost of feeding an inmate is approximately $3.00 @ day.
- Who provides medical service to the inmates and why?
The law mandates that inmates in the care of a detention facility shall receive adequate health care for both emergency and chronic care. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office has contracted medical care for the inmates twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. We do have a co-pay system charging a nominal fee for non-emergency visits.
- The Adult Detention Center only houses misdemeanants and weekend violators, doesn't it?
The facility houses individuals who are charged with committing crimes. Those crimes may range from multiple murders to public drunkenness. We house Federal, State, County and local municipalities’ inmates.
