Virginia Department of Corrections Director Jack Davis proposes a $60 million net work of 20 regional correctional centers to relieve jail crowding. The plan, outlined before sheriffs in Virginia Beach, would require state funding of about 75 percent and local funding of the rest, with most facilities in large population centers and some existing jails converted to regional use.
