The RSW Regional Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at Winchester Rd, Rte 340/522 Front Royal, VA which is operated locally by the Warren Regional Authority and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates have been here for less than five years. RSW Regional Jail accepts inmates from the Warren County Sheriff's arrests and surrounding towns, Front Royal 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.

It also has support space which includes food service, laundry, intake and release, medical services, recreation and education, central storage, visitation, magistrate, administration, and staff services.
