In prison systems, work release programs provide trusted or closely monitored prisoners with the chance to work outside the facility, returning after their shift. At the Chesterfield County SC Work Camp, inmates exhibiting good behavior are afforded access to recreational activities during the day.

The program offers varying degrees of freedom, allowing participants to work during the week and return home, serving their sentences on weekends.

As they approach the end of their terms, participants may transition to reintegration programs, with potential offers of full-time employment upon release.

Visitation Information

The Detention Center currently utilizes video visitation for all pre-trial and special management inmates. This visitation is made possible through Securus Video Visitation. Driving to the detention center to visit isn’t always possible, so they now provide at-home video visitation. Family members and friends can visit with their incarcerated loved ones from the comfort of home, office, or any location that is equipped with high-speed internet, PC, and webcam. Family members and loved ones schedule video visits online according to a pre-approved schedule and the inmate is notified of the scheduled visit in advance and will be able to check in at the time of the visit.

Sentenced inmates visit on-site as follows:
Visitors are required to have a valid state-issued identification card. Children are permitted to visit the fourth full weekend of the month.
