The NRVRJ is a locally operated low to medium-security regional detention center situated at 108 Baker Rd in Dublin, VA. This facility houses inmates from multiple surrounding counties that do not have a holding facility or jail, in addition to local detainees. Individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, as well as those serving shorter sentences, typically serve less than five years. NRVRJ accommodates detainees brought in by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, the Virginia DOC, Dublin Police Department, and other nearby law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
New detainees arrive frequently and may be released on bail, under pretrial supervision, or on their recognizance with a commitment to appear in court. Those who remain in custody receive essential amenities, including secure accommodations, meals, and access to necessary services.

The New River Valley Regional Jail (NRVRJ) opened its doors to its first prisoners on April 27, 1999, marking the closure of all local facilities. The inaugural inmate count totaled 248 men and women. Over time, the inmate population has doubled, now accommodating federal inmates and those from outside jurisdictions.
The facility boasts a modern design, housing administrative offices, a magistrate’s office, visiting areas for both public and professional visits, a kitchen, laundry facilities, a library, classrooms, a medical unit, a basketball court, two contained outdoor recreation yards, and a secure vehicle sallyport for prisoner transport.
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, NRVRJ employs advanced control room systems capable of managing everything within housing units, from cell doors and lighting to telephones and televisions. Comprehensive security camera coverage monitors both interior and exterior spaces. The Booking Department utilizes digital fingerprinting technology, transmitting data directly to a central database. Additionally, the facility conducts video arraignments with member jurisdiction courts, minimizing the need for inmate transportation.
Responding to increased incarceration rates, the New River Valley Regional Jail Authority initiated an expansion project in 2005. Completed in February 2010, the five-story, 139,000 square foot addition, executed through a joint effort between Balfour Beatty and English Construction, increased occupancy to 859 beds, with 1,183 double-bunked spaces.
