Operating four jails that are located in Abingdon, Duffield, Haysi and Tazewell, they have jails that cover Southwest Virginia and house both male and female inmates in these jurisdictions.
While they are housed at these facilities all inmates receive the same treatment and have access to the same programming and services.
Each of the facilities operate in the same manner, providing a stable and consistent experience for both inmates as well as employees.
While being held in the facility all inmates are encouraged to remain in contact with their friends and family who live outside of the facility for the health of inmates both while they are incarcerated and after they are released. This can be done through three different methods, the first by mail that is delivered by the US Postal Service, the next is through phone calls made by the inmate, and the last is with a video call visitation. Each of these methods are controlled and monitored by the jail staff and can be discontinued if any rules are broken.
All mail is opened before they it is passed to the inmate, and any contraband is removed and disposed of.
Phone calls can be made only from the inmates to their loved ones, and these accounts are funded through smarjailmail.com, where an account is made and allows for the inmate to call when they are available.
For visits, there is an account online that allows for there to be funds added to the account to pay for the visits. Each visit will be 15 minutes long and must be scheduled in advance and will be held during the hours of 7:30am to 10:30am, 1:30pm to 4:30pm, or 8pm to 10pm.
