The Prince William'Manassas Regional Jail Board heard an operational report from the superintendent detailing population, staffing and program updates.
The superintendent said the system-wide average daily population (ADP) is approximately 508, with the Manassas complex reporting monthly ADPs of 484 in January and 479 in February. He said transfers to the state system were low in January and February but increased in March — noting that "the state system took 26 inmates in 1 day." He added the jail is not farming out inmates to other jurisdictions: "we do not have inmates farmed out anywhere to other jurisdictions."
Why it matters: ADP and transfer patterns affect staffing needs, facility capacity and budget planning. Board members pressed staff on the changing case mix, noting a decline in work-release participation as lower-risk people are released on bond and higher-risk individuals remain in custody.
Staffing and programs: The superintendent reported 69 sworn vacancies and 12 vacant civilian positions (total 81). He said human-resources staff will attend a Chantilly job fair and receive recruiting training in Rappahannock and Norfolk to help hiring. Training for staff continues (including interview strategy and use-of-force/report-writing classes).
On treatment and reentry, the superintendent said 34 inmates currently receive Suboxone while in custody. He also reported that since Oct. 19, 2021 the jail has provided distribution packs of Narcan to people upon release, saying on the record that "384 boxes of Narcan have been given to inmates upon their release" (transcript figure). He cautioned that some numeric details in the oral report were not fully clarified during the meeting.
COVID and operations: The superintendent reported a marked improvement in COVID metrics, stating there were zero staff and zero inmates with active cases at the time of the meeting. As a result, limited attorney-contact visits and several classes (GED, ESL, career and financial readiness, anger management and other reentry programs) have resumed or expanded.
Facility and capacity notes: The superintendent reviewed graphs of building-level counts, pointing to a Phase 2 area housing a large portion of the complex population (an on-record figure of 395 in that building was cited). The main facility has ongoing repair work with a projected completion in March. Board members praised recent renovation work and thanked maintenance staff and the transition team for upgrades such as silicone treatments to showers to reduce mold.
Next steps: The board took no policy action on operational recommendations at the meeting; members asked staff to continue reporting on population trends, work-release participation and recruitment progress at future meetings.
