The Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail was created in 1974 as both communities opted to build one facility rather than continue to maintain existing corrections facilities[1]. The facility, which is located on Avon Street Extended, has more than 600 beds, but its true capacity is not fully known. There are currently[when?] around 550 inmates[2]. The jail also serves Nelson County. The state wanted both communities to cooperate on cleaning up their facilities. [3]
Mission statement
"To detain both pre-sentenced and sentenced inmates from the Albemarle, Charlottesville and Nelson jurisdictions who present a physical threat to the community or themselves, sentenced to jail , or a risk of not appearing for court hearings. The facility will be maintained and operated to safely and securely house individuals lawfully arrested and charged with a criminal offense by law enforcement agencies supporting the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. In addition to housing local inmates, the facility may accept federal and state inmates and on a temporary basis."[4]
Immigration policy
The Jail's Board voted 7-3 in late January 2018 to continue a policy of notifying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents when undocumented immigrants are released from custody. [5] [6] [7]
