ADC report: population down from capacity, recruitment and training efforts under way; commissary balance and Piedmont lease discussed
Summary
Superintendent support reported average daily population below operational capacity, ongoing recruitment and training initiatives, an upcoming academy graduation, and financial details including a commissary balance just under $2.1 million and pursuit of a lease for the Piedmont Building for training and professional standards.
The jail board received an operational and budget update for the Prince William and Ashley Regional Adult Detention Center that outlined population metrics, staffing and training activities, facility repairs, commissary accounting and a proposed lease for training space.
Operational metrics presented included an operational capacity listed as 871 and a management capacity of 1,320; the FY25 year-to-date average daily population for the first two months was reported as 554. The presenter gave monthly counts showing July commitments of 629 and August commitments of 661, and July releases of 654 and August releases of 639. The reported July high ADP for the complex was 568 and a complex daily average of 586 was reported for Aug. 26.
Staffing and training highlights included ongoing recruitment strategies, mandatory in-service training for 95 staff, pre-training for 325 staff, cultural-diversity training for 83 staff, crisis-intervention training graduates (4 staff), and an academy graduation scheduled for Oct. 11 at 11 a.m. with 15 students.
The presenter said since Oct. 19, 2021 the ADC has distributed 831 boxes of Narcan and currently has 110 inmates on medication-assisted treatment. Facilities updates noted completion of a pipe project, a delay in renovation of an old laundry room with an estimated completion date of Sept. 30, and other repairs underway.
On finances, the presenter said the jurisdiction is two months into the fiscal year and is on target to meet or exceed budgeted revenue targets by about $1,000,000 due to higher-than-expected state compensation revenue. The City of Manassas utilization rate year-to-date as of Aug. 31 was reported at 11.2% against a budgeted 13.5%, which could trigger a refund depending on year-end figures. Commissary cash balances ended August just under $2,100,000; inmate trust accounts were reported at about $51,466 with $66,000 used in August.
The board was also told staff are pursuing a lease agreement for the Piedmont Building (an older police building in the City of Manassas) to provide training space and to house the office of professional standards while the annex is repurposed and a judicial expansion project proceeds.
Board members asked a question about COVID case reporting; the presenter said there are no current COVID cases in the jail and that outbreak reporting would resume if cases occur. No formal board action was recorded on the budget report during the meeting.
