About the Petersburg Jail Annex
The Petersburg Sheriff is the main law enforcement agency within the county, and they are responsible not only for serving warrants, making arrests, investigating crimes, and courthouse security, but also for the operation of the jail annex. Located in Disputanta, VA, while the sheriff office is located in Petersburg, makes it a location that inmates are transported to and from regularly, and requires that they return to the town for their court dates. While inmates are housed at the jail annex they are provided with clothing and bedding, all their meals, and access to both recreational spaces as well as phones to contact their friends and family. Phone calls are the main way that inmates keep in contact with their family, and as they are unable to accept incoming calls they must call those they wish to speak to, after including them on a phone call list so they can be approved by the staff at the facility. The annex houses inmates who are not in court that day or who are serving a short sentence, with access to larger facilities for those who require maximum security or who are serving extended sentences.
