About the Middle River Regional Jail
When the Augusta County Jail was become overwhelmed it became necessary to find a solution to overcrowding, and the Middle River Regional Jail was built to do just that in 2006. Upon its completion it alleviated the pressure off of surrounding jails and allowed for improved services, increased programming, and more living space for inmates. While this has improved the lives of inmates for the entirety of their incarceration, it is also improved by the connections and contact with friends and family who are outside of the jail. People can offer support to inmates by adding money to their account so they can purchase items from the commissary and for phone calls, and this can be done through the kiosk within the lobby of the jail or through accesscorrections.com, and for phone calls only at web.connectnetwork.com. This program also allows for voice messages to be left for inmates, and they can access these anytime during the day. Visits are conducted onsite through gtlvisitme.com/app and this also provides access to a tablet program for exchanging text messages and emails. Visits occur from Monday to Friday 8:30am to 10:45am, 1:30pm to 4pm, and 6:30pm to 8:45pm.
