Housing inmates from minimum security needs to those in high security, the Piedmont Regional Jail is located in Farmville, Virginia and serves the surrounding counties.
Inmates at this jail are offenders who have been arrested in Amelia County that were recently charged with a felony or misdemeanor, are awaiting trial, or have been found guilty for their crime(s) and have been sentenced to one year or less.
Contracted counties include Amelia County, Buckingham County, Cumberland County, Lunenburg County, Nottoway County, Prince Edward County, Culpeper County, Powhatan County.
Working together is a strong theme that runs through the facility with both staff and inmates being encouraged to work on their own personal development and learn new skills that will assist them in their job and throughout their lives.
Inmates are supported in both their health needs and in growing their educational experiences with programs that have been developed and created based on past experience and studies on how to bet assist inmates in their re-entry to society after their sentence. Several programs are available both during incarceration and when transitioning out, as well as afterwards to help with jobs, homes, and more.
Work Release is also available at this facility if the sentence is non-violent and under a year and a half, and they are sentenced to it through their regular sentencing.
Inmate services include an online money deposit, video visitation, digital email messaging and outgoing phone calls.
Another way in which inmates are supported is through the encouragement of sustaining outside relationships. With access to mail, both incoming and outgoing, phones to make outgoing calls to anyone on their approved call list, and regular access to visitors, inmates can remain in contact with their friends and their family throughout their incarceration.
They will also have access to a commissary account to purchase items that they need, and this can be funded through their friends and family online or through the kiosk in the lobby of the jail.
Phones are available to inmates throughout the day, and they can have up to 10 people or phone numbers on their call list using funds on their account, or through making collect phone calls that will be added to the bill of the receiver.
The same account can also be used to make online visits, and they can be scheduled and paid for at that site. For an onsite an in person visit, the hours will be from 8am until 5:30pm with specific days and times for each housing unit. Visits will occur only on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, and can be up to 30 minutes long with 6 visitors, however it is necessary to arrive 15 minutes early to clear through security before your visitation time.
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Piedmont Regional Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Piedmont Regional Jail:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 434-392-1601.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Amelia County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 434-392-1601 to get the exact amount.
The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.
