The Page County Jail was built
in 1969 to house 26 inmates, today the average daily population is 89
inmates. The Page County Jail only
houses adult male inmates. Female and juvenile inmates are sent to other
facilities, as the Page County Jail does not have the required
accommodations to house them. Female inmates are housed in the Shenandoah
County Jail, on a one for one exchange basis. We house one of
Shenandoah County's male inmates for each female they house for us. Under the current administration, the jail
has re-obtained certification from the Commonwealth of Virginia. This
designation assures citizens that the complex is meeting standards
required by the laws of the Commonwealth.
Jail Programs
The Page County Jail has numerous programs aimed at helping

the following services and programs:
GED/Educational Program
Counseling
Recreation Program
Library Program
Ministerial and Bible Studies
Work Release Program
