Found at 7502 Justice Drive in Gloucester, VA, the Gloucester County jail houses on average each day around 60 inmates. This facility was completed in 1984 and has been functioning as the main holding facility since. Though few inmates are housed at any one time, the facility houses those who are waiting for their trail and who are facing trial that day, as well as some who are serving a short sentence. The sheriff office that is in charge of this facility also completes transportation to and from the courts as well as other facilities, doctors, and others. All booking for the county is done through this office, and they are assigned housing shortly after completing the process, which includes contacting a friend, family member, or a lawyer after their arrest. While they are incarcerated at the facility inmates will have access to a canteen through which they can purchase food and other items, which is funded through a money order sent to the inmate at the Gloucester County Jail using the address above. There are also visiting hours that allow inmates to receive visits from their loved ones once each week. They may add up to three people on the visitation form that is submitted each week, who they have made arrangements to visit that week. Visiting hours are scheduled on either Saturday or Sunday, and female inmates with last names A through L are between 12pm and 1pm on Saturday, with male inmates with last names A through L are on Saturdays between 1pm and 4pm. On Sundays, female inmates M through Z will have visits between 12pm and 1pm, and male inmates M through Z from 1pm until 4pm.

Only those who are listed on the visitor form will be allowed to visit. Some inmates will qualify for the work programs, which allow inmates to work in painting, maintenance, laundry, and kitchen onsite or with road crews for clearing snow or property maintenance with the county. All inmates are permitted to attend religious services, books and newspapers, recovery classes, and access to a notary.
