The Montgomery Co Jail is a detention center located at 1 East Main St Christiansburg, VA which is operated locally by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Montgomery County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Christiansburg Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Virginia here.

The Montgomery County Jail is committed to ensuring the safety and security of inmates, staff, and the community. With this principle in mind, the jail staff works tirelessly to provide appropriate supervision and security to those under their care. Jail programs are carefully designed to promote self-respect and foster a desire for self-improvement among inmates. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the successful reintegration of individuals into society as law-abiding citizens. The current jail building underwent reconstruction in 1987-88, representing a significant investment of $1.5 million. This reconstruction reflects the ongoing commitment to maintaining a modern and secure facility that meets the needs of the community.

In addition to traditional incarceration, the jail oversees the Home Electronic Monitoring (HEM) program. This program allows certain inmates to serve their sentences while remaining in their homes, under strict supervision.
