Inmate Programs Mission Statement

As the Director of Programs for the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, it is my mission to develop, implement, and maintain a continuance of programs that inmates are either required or may request to participate in during their incarceration.

In doing so, it is the goal of this facility to provide programs that address inmate education needs, the utilization of leisure-time, and to assist in their successful transition back into their communities, their families, and their workplaces as productive citizens, in an effort to reduce the recidivism rate in our corrections facilities.

Inmate programs are not only structured to provide support for post-release but also to improve behavior during incarceration. The implementation of such programs in our facility has markedly reduced inmate misconduct and in turn improved the safety and security within the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail as well as in many other correctional facilities.
