While the daily population varies, it averages around 1,100 inmates each day, and every moment of the day is monitored for safety and the security of the facility and all those within. Full time and weekend inmates are accommodated, and there are several programs provided that can help inmates to reintegrate with success after their incarceration has ended. GED, workforce, reentry program, life skills, religious programming, recovery programming, and a veteran’s program are all accessible to all inmates.
The weekender program allows some offenders to serve their sentences on weekends only, allowing them to retain their current employment during the week. There is also a program for weekender offsite work crew that allows weekend program attendees to work for city departments rather than to attend jail on the weekends, as well as electronic home incarceration that provides inmates with a GPS anklet that they can wear and remain home during their sentence, and a offender support unit that has offenders work each day at the sheriff office or jail and then return home at the end of each day.
All inmates are provided access to phones from 9am until 11pm each day of the week, and can have friends or family provide money for that account at web.connectnetwork.com.
They also can access visits either onsite or off, however each visit is conducted through video and will remain no contact. Visit hours are on Tuesdays and Thursdays and run from 9am to 10:30am, 2pm to 3:30pm, 7pm to 8:30pm, and on Sundays from 2pm to 3:30pm and again 7pm to 8:30pm. Visits must be scheduled at least one full day in advance. Offsite visits can be started by the inmate without a previously scheduled time much as a phone call is, but the visitor must be approved and have an account at gettingout.com where these visits may be funded.
Once someone is arrested, they are taken to Virginia Beach Correctional Center for booking. This process involves identifying the individual, determining charges, and deciding if they will be released on their own recognizance, released on bail, or held in custody until their court date.
It’s important for the arrestee to stay silent, as anything they say can be used against them. The best advice is to avoid answering any questions about the arrest until legal counsel is present.
The booking process at Virginia Beach Correctional Center typically includes the following steps:
Depending on circumstances, booking can take anywhere from one hour to up to 48 hours, especially during busy periods or if the individual is uncooperative. For questions about paying an arrestee’s bond or bail amount, contact the facility at 757-385-4555.
After an individual is apprehended and taken to Virginia Beach Correctional Center in Virginia Beach for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:
1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond. Call 757-385-4555 for the exact bail amount.
