The Virginia Beach Correctional Center stands as one of the state's largest city jails, accommodating an average daily population of 1,100 inmates. The facility manages pre-trial detainees, individuals serving misdemeanor sentences of a year or less, and those awaiting transfer to the Virginia Department of Corrections (VA DOC).
Operated by the Sheriff’s Office, the Correctional Center ensures the security and well-being of inmates, providing essential services such as meals, medical and mental health care, visitation, education, rehabilitative programs, and work opportunities. This responsibility constitutes a significant portion of the Sheriff’s Office operations, consuming over 75% of its annual budget of $48 million.
Beyond correctional operations, the Sheriff’s Office undertakes inmate booking, record-keeping, classification, and maintenance of the jail, and conducts criminal investigations within the facility through its Criminal Intelligence Unit. Additionally, the VBSO Criminal Intelligence Unit and K9 Unit extend support to local, state, and federal investigations.
Routinely earning impeccable scores on audits and inspections conducted by independent state and federal agencies, the Virginia Beach Correctional Center prioritizes safety, security, and health. These audits include the VA DOC Life, Health, and Safety inspection, the Department of Corrections three-year audit, the U.S. Department of Justice Prison Rape Elimination Act audit, and the U.S. Marshals Service facility inspection, each scrutinizing various aspects of operations to ensure compliance with stringent standards and regulations.
