Piedmont Regional Jail Authority is a minimum- to high-security facility located in Farmville, VA that serves the counties of Amelia, Buckingham, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway, and Prince Edward. In addition, we contract beds with the US Marshal Service and counties such as Culpeper.

Over the past three decades, Piedmont Regional Jail Authority has been consistently recognized as the original regional jail facility in Virginia. The facility was expanded two times adding additional dorms and bed space. The third and most recent expansion introduced a modern and needed intake and processing area. 

Staff strive to treat all individuals with respect while maintaining security. Creating a path to release for offenders through modeling the positive behaviors and sound evidence-based programs to reduce recidivism. We maintain our facility in a clean hygienic manner and strive to keep the facility in good repair. Staff realize that the facility must change with the times to keep up with new technologies, emerging practices, and new laws. Staff accomplish many challenging tasks through teamwork and training.

The Piedmont Regional Jail strives to meet the needs of the Offenders, Staff, and Community. This partnership ensures that we continue to provide a total service to our community and creates a rewarding and safe environment for all.
