The Danville City Jail serves as a low/medium-security city detention center located at 1000 S Boston Rd in Danville, VA. Operated locally by the police and sheriff's departments, it houses inmates and detainees awaiting trial or sentencing. Most sentenced inmates have terms of less than two years. The facility also accepts inmates from surrounding towns and occasionally from the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others may be supervised by probation agencies or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who remain in custody await their court appearances at the facility, receiving accommodations such as bedding and meals.

These individuals are typically assigned to various work crews throughout the City, where they engage in a range of responsibilities aimed at community improvement and maintenance.

Their duties encompass tasks such as tending to roadside gardens, mowing main thoroughfares, maintaining city parks, removing litter and leaves, managing brush and vegetation, facilitating the city's recycling program by sorting and distributing trash, and clearing snow and ice from bridges, sidewalks, and parking lots. Additionally, inmates contribute to grounds maintenance, paint and renovate city buildings, and assist in transporting materials for various city departments, including the Courts, Social Services, and Library.

Moreover, the ADC offers several programs to support inmate rehabilitation and reintegration into society. These include medical services, an education program geared towards attaining a GED, and a work release and weekender incarceration program designed to enable gainfully employed inmates to maintain their employment during their period of incarceration.
