Prince William jail suspends contact visits, closes modular building amid COVID surge
Summary
The Hassett Regional Adult Detention Center has paused in-person programs and contact visits and closed its modular housing unit under a 30‑day COVID mitigation plan; officials said they will reassess as case counts decrease and staff availability improves.
The Hassett Regional Adult Detention Center in Prince William County suspended in-person programs and all contact visits and closed its modular housing unit as part of a 30‑day COVID mitigation plan, the superintendent told the facility board during its meeting.
