INMATE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Inmate Vocational Programs

Persons with a prior history of escape, sex crimes, excessive drug abuse/drug distribution or other violent crimes do not qualify for vocational programs.

  • Trustee Program – This is a highly structured program that allows inmates to work in and around the facility to perform such tasks as food service, cleaning, and minor repair work.
  • Inmate Work Force Program – This program is overseen by the Sheriff’s Office and managed by Fauquier County General Services, Environmental Services and W.S.A., respectively.  Fauquier County employees, bonded by the Fauquier Circuit Court, are utilized to supervise inmate workers to provide a wide range of services from cleaning county buildings to landscaping and snow removal on State, County or Town properties. Non-violent offenders are permitted to participate in this program, provided they meet all program criteria. These guidelines ensure the safety and security of the citizens of Fauquier County.
  • Work Release Program – The Work Release Program allows non-violent offenders, who are sentenced within program guidelines, to maintain employment while serving their sentence.  All inmates are thoroughly screened prior to placement in the program, at on-site job checks, as well as routine alcohol and drug screens. Inmates are also monitored by G.P.S. technology and employers are required to monitor participants while at work.
  • Electronic Incarceration Program – Home incarceration is an alternative, cost-effective method of incarceration, by electronic G.P.S. monitoring, that allows inmates to maintain employment and/or continue to live at their place of residence while serving their sentence.  Eligibility requirements include, but are not limited to:
  • Good conduct during traditional incarceration
  • Having a permanent local address
  • Participants must pay fees for leasing of the required equipment and are subject to random home visits and random drug/alcohol screening
  • In instances where adequate cellular service is not available at the location of the residence, a landline telephone may be required for participation
