Regional jail boosts area cooperation in Virginia
Col Richard Rollason will leave as director of the Joint Confinement and Corrections Operations Project on March 1. David Roadely will replace him. The regional jail serves Clarke Frederick Warren counties and Winchester, housing adults awaiting trial in Warren and Winchester and convicted adults in Winchester Frederick, with females and juveniles in Clarke. The program tracks prisoner data to improve the justice system, funds a detox center, expands in‑house programs, and fosters sheriff cooperation, with annual reviews and a plan to decide post grant funding.
