At the Fairfax County Pre-Release Center, inmates with good behavior have access to traditional jobs in the public sector during the day. The program offers varying degrees of freedom, some even allowing prisoners to work during the week and return home, serving their sentences on only weekends. Depending on the terms (which change from time to time), inmates may reside in a halfway house or under home confinement when not working. As they near their release date, residents may transition to reintegration programs, with potential offers of full-time employment upon full release.

Work release program initiatives have proven benefits, including increased employment opportunities post-release, accelerated job acquisition, higher post-release earnings, and reduced recidivism rates among participants. Fairfax Co Pre-Release is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.

The Fairfax County Pre-Release Center Program, a work-release initiative operated by the Sheriff's Department in collaboration with the courts and community, is outlined. This community treatment work-release program facilitates participants through a three-phased sequence, commencing with the establishment of personal goals and contract negotiation and culminating in the participant's release.

The program offers inmates opportunities to engage in work release, school release, vocational training, and various counseling activities, including group and peer counseling, substance abuse counseling, family counseling, pastoral counseling, and others. Additionally, it features the 'In-Center Community Program,' comprising lectures and workshops addressing pre-release orientation, employment opportunities, job interviewing skills, financial management, and family issues.

Geared towards inmates within 120 days of release from jail or prison, those sentenced for nonsupport, or individuals selected by the court during the pre-sentence phase, the program aims to provide comprehensive support and guidance. Appendices include a sample pre-release center program contract, a summary of program operations, center rating standards, rules and procedures, information on furlough opportunities, and a discussion on the opportunities for success the center offers inmates.
