Introduction
This is the second year that we have produced this report and it contains a wealth of information related to the
entire operations of the jail; from programs offered to inmates to the number of meals served; from the number of
inmates evaluated or seen by medical personnel to renovation projects and fiscal information. Overall, calendar
year 2008 was another eventful and busy year for the jail.
The local inmate Average Daily Population (ADP) for Northumberland increased by 9.14 inmates over the previous
year; Richmond County’s ADP increased by 4 inmates; and Westmoreland County’s ADP increased by 5.09
inmates. The jail’s local population overall continues to rise, in fact the local inmate Average Daily Population for
2008 was 150.32 as compared to 2001 when the local inmate ADP was 105.04 inmates. That equates to a 43%
increase in the local population since 2001.
You will notice in the report this year that the upgrade and replacement of the Food Service Kitchen Equipment
was completed. The jail also received and passed its tri-year Operations Audit by the Virginia Department of
Corrections and by the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare.
This year we have began tracking and included the number of inmates who either exhibited suicidal tendencies or
verbalized that they intended to harm themselves and thereby had to be placed on Suicide Watch for their own
safety.
The jail had two critical events that occurred during 2008. Both of the events involved inmates who attempted to
take their life by asphyxiating themselves. Staff found each individual before they succeeded and were able to
administer life saving measures that prevented the loss of their lives. Additionally, during the year the jail had a
total of 41 inmates who either exhibited suicidal tendencies or verbalized that they intended to harm themselves. All
of these individuals were placed on Suicide Watch. Each individual received mental health treatment and the
necessary counseling. The jail also had one inmate in-custody death during 2008. The death involved an inmate
who was suffering from a terminal illness that was unrelated to his confinement. The inmate was serving his jail
time at home on the jail’s Home Electronic Incarceration Program and ultimately passed away in the hospital.
Sadly, the jail lost a true friend last year on May 17th when retired Sheriff C.W. “Buddy” Jackson passed away.
Buddy served the citizens of Westmoreland County for over 32 years as Sheriff; the citizens of the Commonwealth
as a Virginia State Trooper for 9 years; and the Northern Neck Regional Jail for over 17 years. His presence is truly
missed.
The jail noticed a decrease in employee turnover by 3.85%. Overall employee turnover has ranged from a low of
5.15% in 2003 to a high of 25.49% in 1996. The average overall turnover between 1995 and 2008 is 17.07%. Since
the jail opened in 1995, 40% of the turnover can be attributed to employees leaving within the first year of
employment, prior to ever completing the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Training Academy.
Finally, salaries and fringe benefit costs continue to consume the largest portion of the operations budget at 61%,
while rental beds continue to pay the lion’s share of the overall costs of operating the jail.
I hope that you find this report to be informative, useful and beneficial.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Kitchen Equipment Updated
In past years the jail has increased housing space to accommodate more inmates. These increases have stretched the capacity
of the kitchen to provide meals. Larger capacity equipment has been installed to efficiently handle the increase in population.
A larger steam kettle
To prepare soups and steamed vegetables.
A smaller and more efficient gas range
Although this unit is smaller and makes room for the
increase in other equipment, it has more burner space
than the previous gas range
New deep frying system
That provides for an additional fryer, 3 total.

for each month of the fiscal
year was from a low of $0.80 to
a high of $1.05. The total annual $1.20 Meal Costs in in FY 2007/2008

Inmate Medical Statistics
The jail is responsible for the medical health and welfare of
all inmates confined at the facility. The jail employs 6 nurses
to handle day to day medical needs and in calendar year
2008 the nurses had 182,026 contacts with inmates. These
contacts include sick call, assessments, medication
dispensing, and other contact incidents.
The jail contracts with a doctor for medical services and dur-
ing 2008 the doctor had 542 contacts with inmates. During
the year, 61,530 prescription medications were filled with
2,211 being refilled. Including 4,852 over the counter drugs,
medications were dispensed 525,695 times throughout the
year with a cost of $120,195.28. In 2008 medication costs
for federal inmates began to be directly billed to the U.S.
Marshal Service and those costs are not reflected in this
report.
The Jail also contracts with a Dentist to meet the inmate’s
dental needs. A small dental office has been set up at the
jail and the Doctor comes in each week. During the year,
390 inmates were referred to the Dentist for services.
During 2008 it was necessary for the medical department to refer inmates for outside medical services as described below;

Medical Department Recertifies NCCHC
The jail medical department was certified by the National
Commission on Correctional Health Care in April of 1998 and is
required to recertify every 3 years to maintain certification. The
purpose of the certification is to identify those facilities who go
beyond the standard operating practices to ensure quality health
care. “The Standards have helped correctional and detention
facilities improve the health of their inmates and the communities
to which they return; increase the efficiency of health services
delivery; strengthen organizational effectiveness; and reduce the
risk of adverse legal judgments.” (NCCHC.Org)
In 2008 the jail was audited by a team of outside medical
professionals who certified that the jail met or exceeded the
commission’s nationally recognized standards of health care.
Pictured at right is Nurse Carolyn Neale, who has also achieved
certification as a Certified Correctional Health Care Professional
(CCHP) through the commission.
Educational Services
The jail employs two Adult Education Teachers to provide
educational services to inmates. Classes are held every day
and approved inmates attend classes to improve their gen-
eral educational skills, obtain their GED certificate, or learn
the English language. During 2008, 214 inmates participated
in educational programs offered by the jail. 24 female and
153 male inmates attended classes. Of these totals, 58% of
females and 62% of males left the facility before completing
the required 60 hours of classroom instruction for testing skill
improvement.
Of the inmates remaining, 67% of the females and 85% of the
males who received 60 hours of instruction displayed a gain in
grade functioning level. Of these same inmates, 35 took the
GED examination and 28 obtained their GED.
Inmates that do not speak English, or have poor language
skills, attend the ESOL (English for Speakers of Other
Languages) classes. In 2008 37 inmates attended these
sessions. 36% completed the required 60 hours of instruction
to be tested for skills advancement and 84% of those tested
advanced at least one skill level.

Inmate Services
Inmate Community services Projects
The jail maintains an inmate work crew to perform various tasks throughout the member counties and in 2008 numerous
projects were accomplished.
In Richmond County, Grass cutting at the trash disposal site, fire departments, public boat landings and median of highway in
Warsaw. Trash pick up was conducted at several highway locations and furniture was moved from public offices. The work crew
also picked up trash at the little league ball park each week during the playing season.
In Northumberland County, repair work and clean up was conducted at the Sheriff’s Office and the courthouse. Furniture was
moved, doors painted at public buildings, and genera l clean up was conducted at dump sites and boat landings. Grass was also
cut at several county facilities.
In Westmoreland County, the crew picked up trash and other items at landfill and highways. Grass trimming was performed at
the water treatment facility and the courthouse. Several public buildings were painted in Montross and in Colonial Beach and
law enforcement vehicles were washed for the Sheriff’s funeral and fall festival.
Inmate Programs
The jail provides a variety of programs to the inmates. Along with educational services provided in 2008, inmates were provided
the opportunity to participate in sessions such as ;
Bible Study; Religious counseling;
Substance abuse counseling; Church services;
Alcoholics Anonymous; Library Services;
Indoor and outdoor recreation. Productive Citizenship classes
For those inmates that qualified, the following programs were also utilized;
Work Release; Electronic Incarceration; Trusty job assignments;
During the 2008 calendar year, 10 inmates participated in the work release
program. Inmates were released from jail to go to their job and returned to the
jail at the end of their workday. Inmates on the program contributed $1,934.65
to their room and board, paid $563.23 in fines and court costs, paid $806.00 in
child support, and $132.16 in restitution.
During this same time period 13 inmates were placed on Electronic Incarceration. This program allows an inmate to be
incarcerated in his or her home thereby saving more expensive jail bed space. The inmate wears a monitor on his or her ankle
and is checked at random times through video phone setup in the residence. Participants paid $13,402.00 in fees to defray
costs of the program.
Inmate Trustys
The jail has 80 trusty positions where inmates perform various kitchen, laundry, and custodial duties throughout the jail. This
number also includes Inmate work crews that performed various tasks throughout Northern Neck Communities. In 2007 our
work crews performed a variety of jobs throughout the year in each of the participating jurisdictions. These tasks included grass
cutting, trash pick up along county highways and transfer stations, moving furniture, painting, and hurricane clean up efforts.

Critical Incidents in 2008
During the year the jail experienced two events where inmates made evident attempts to harm themselves. In Both these
incidents the inmates were discovered before they could harm themselves.
Cases where an inmate may have threatened suicide or suicidal behaviors were observed totaled 41. In these instances
the inmates were placed under special supervision for a combined total of 4,599 hours.
1 inmate death occurred in 2008. This person was on Electronic Incarceration and was suffering from an illness unrelated
to his confinement when he died of the illness.
Inspections
DOC Jail Certification Audit
In 2008, as it has every 3 years, the jail underwent a complete certification process to ensure that we comply with the Virginia
Department of Corrections (DOC) standards for the operation of a jail. The standards deal with approximately 144 different jail
issues covering safety and security operations, training, food service, medical care, and housing. The jail received a 100% com-
pliance rating from the DOC inspection team.
To ensure that we maintain compliance with standards, the jail
conducts an internal inspection weekly. Pictured here is an
inspection of paint preparation in a cell area.

Looking forward to 2009
A large amount of time, energy and research has gone into this yearly report. Next year is
already shaping up to be another exciting and challenging year at the jail. Each year we have to
vigorously lobby the Virginia General Assembly to keep the Northern Neck Regional Jail’s
exemption to the federal prisoner offset penalty language in the State’s Budget. Each year,
over the past 10 years, the House of Delegates and/or the Governor has suggested that the
Exemption Language be abolished. The abolishment of the exemption language would mean a
loss of over $900,000.00 in revenue for the jail. Such a reduction in revenue would drastically
impact the jail’s operations. As can be expected, the jail will vigorously oppose the abolishment
of this language each time that it arises.
Also to be expected is the replacement and upgrade of failing equipment over the next year.
Many of the original systems that were installed in 1994 are beginning to fail. Anticipated
replacements include: the Heating and Security Ventilation Control System; the Fire Alarm
Control System; Water Metering Valves; and the Security Door Control System. Furthermore,
the jail will continually maintain all equipment within the jail’s 24 hour a day operation.
The employees of the jail are proud to serve and remain committed to operating a professional,
safe, secure and fiscally responsible facility for the citizens of the counties of Westmoreland,
Richmond, and Northumberland. Thank you for taking the time to review our operation and we
look forward to next year.
