The Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional is a locally operated low to medium-security regional detention center situated at 160 Peregory Ln in Charlottesville, VA. This facility primarily houses individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, as well as those serving shorter sentences, typically less than five years. Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional accommodates detainees brought in by the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office, the Virginia DOC, Charlottesville Police Department, and other nearby law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
New detainees arrive frequently and may be released on bail, under pretrial supervision, or on their recognizance with a commitment to appear in court. Those who remain in custody receive essential amenities, including secure accommodations, meals, and access to necessary services. To review recent arrest records for Virginia, you can access public records here.
The Jail's goal is to help support every offender with their integration back into the community as productive and independently successful. The Programs Department offers offenders’ evidence-based classes based off of a risk-based needs assessment that will promote the successful reentry of offenders back into the community.
In addition to the classes, the Programs Department also offers Transitional Services that focus specifically on the needs that offenders will have when entering back into the community. Using evidence-based theories proven to have worked in our community we collaborate with other agencies and institutions to include mental health, criminal justice agencies, religious groups, educational agencies K-12 as well as community colleges and universities. This collaboration both within and outside of the institution allows for our inmates to minimize their potential to recidivate offering a mirage of tools and opportunities from various professionals. These services may include assistance obtaining DMV identification, employment within the community, adequate housing and additional necessary documents to help support success. The facility administers its programs in a fair manner in the least restrictive environment consistent with public safety.
If you have any questions about offender programming or would like more information on volunteering to bring a new program to the facility, please contact the Director of Programs, Olivia Dillon.

Good News Jail & Prison Ministry - The Good News Jail and Prison Ministry believes that God calls us to love and remember the needs of those inmates who are incarcerated in our community. They are someone’s family members, some mother’s child, one of our brothers or sisters. This ministry carries the “good news” of God’s grace, love and hope into a place of regret and sorrow. Each year, the Good News Jail and Prison Ministry raises funds to run programs and activities such as worship services, baptisms and mentoring. Chaplain Varaksa meets and councils both inmates and staff at ACRJ.
Employment - Within 30-90 days of release, inmates will meet with an Employment Facilitator to discuss their plans for employment after release. At that time, they will receive assistance with crafting a resume to take home with them, as well as information on job fairs and employment opportunities.
