The Powhatan County Jail is an all-security facility that opened their doors back in 1988. The facility can hold up to 536 inmates at any given time. The facility costs the county nearly $14.95 million.

The facility also holds inmates who couldn’t make bail, who was denied bail, or broke their bond requirements and awaiting trial. However, the facility does not only old those who have already been sentenced.

Offenses range from minor misdemeanors to major felonies. Each year this facility has around 2400 bookings, with a daily average of 120 inmates and around 30 staff.

The facility also houses work release inmates as well. The work release house dormitory is separated from the main jail, but it also connected to the facility. As previously mentioned, the Powhatan County Jail houses inmates from all security-levels.
