Devine led a year long inquiry comparing Virginia lockups with national and foreign facilities, noting apathy toward jail reform and a system largely unchanged since colonial times. Virginia has 98 county jails 16 city jails and four city farms with sheriffs or sergeants running them and state prisoners used in road work when eligible. The study links rising prison populations to Depression era petty crime and vagrancy.
