The Chesapeake City Jail, located at 400 Albemarle Road Chesapeake, VA, serves as the primary law enforcement agency for the community, ensuring public safety through crime prevention, investigation, and emergency response. While the department processes individuals who have been arrested, it does not maintain holding cells for extended detention. After the booking process, which includes fingerprinting, photographing, and processing necessary documentation, arrestees are promptly transferred to a nearby county or regional jail for housing. The department remains committed to upholding the law with professionalism and efficiency while working in coordination with correctional facilities to manage detainee intake and custody transfers For further inmate information, please get in touch with the booking department at 757-382-6159 or click here for the latest arrest records.

The Chesapeake Correctional Center maintains structured rehabilitative and treatment programs for eligible inmates requesting participation, including general education, substance abuse, individual and group counseling, religious, recreation, and work programs. All of the programs are available to eligible inmates regardless of sex, race, origin, religion, political views, disabilities or legal status.

Substance Abuse Program
Allows selected inmates the opportunity to receive treatment for their addiction to drugs and/or alcohol use. Inmates receive treatment through group and individual sessions designed to help them cope and overcome their addictions.

Alcoholics Anonymous
Provides inmates with the opportunity to share their experiences, strengths, and hopes with each other and with community volunteers, in the hope they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

Narcotic Anonymous
Provides inmates with a recovery process and support network inextricably linked together. One of the keys to Narcotics Anonymous success is the therapeutic value of addicts working with other addicts. Members share their successes and challenges in overcoming active addiction and living drug-free, productive lives through the application of the principles contained within the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Narcotic Anonymous.

Nurture Block Program
A religious program and a substance abuse program that teaches and uses spiritual principles to empower the participants to change negative lifestyles.
