Correctional healthcare for Chesterfield County's jail and its 1994 Annex, plus the regional jail it shares with six other localities.
The Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office runs its jail across three buildings, the original 1962 structure, a 1970s wing and the 1994 Annex, while the county also holds a seat on the Riverside Regional Jail Authority board shared with six other localities. GENESYS would put one physician-led clinical standard across that footprint, with medical, mental health and pharmacy coverage reaching all three buildings on the same protocols rather than a stronger program at one site.
GENESYS is physician-owned, with a named medical director accountable for clinical policy and NCCHC-aligned standards of care, and more than 125 years of combined management and staff experience administering healthcare programs. Vacancies are covered through overtime and PRN staffing pools, not left open. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through a staffing plan for all three buildings.
Every GENESYS contract is built from the same nine services, sized to the facility's population and staffing model. Each one has its own page with the detail.
We will walk through a staffing plan, coverage hours and how the transition would work for your population.
The Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office runs the county's own jail, with a rated (design) capacity of 250 beds, 526 permanent beds, and an actual capacity of 350 once double bunking is counted. The jail's average daily population for the period July 2024 through June 2025 was 352.77, according to the Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails' October 2025 capacity report.
The complex has grown in stages: the original building opened in 1962, a two-story wing was added in the 1970s, and a separate inmate housing area, the Annex, was completed in 1994, built to hold 115 inmates. Chesterfield also holds a seat and an alternate seat on the board of the Riverside Regional Jail Authority, a facility it shares with Charles City, Prince George, Surry, Colonial Heights, Hopewell and Petersburg, so a correctional healthcare program here has to reach beyond the county's own walls.
The county jail is not one building but three: the original 1962 structure, a 1970s wing, and the 1994 Annex, built to hold 115 inmates. Running medical, mental health and pharmacy services across that footprint means more than one clinical point of contact, and a staffing plan has to put coverage where the housing is rather than concentrate it at a single intake area.
Chesterfield's own jail is not the only facility holding its inmates. The county holds a seat and an alternate seat on the Riverside Regional Jail Authority board, the body overseeing a regional jail shared with Charles City, Prince George, Surry, Colonial Heights, Hopewell and Petersburg. A healthcare program built around Chesterfield's population needs continuity between the county jail and the regional facility, so records and treatment plans travel with inmates who move between the two.
Capacity and average daily population figures are from the Board of Local and Regional Jails' October 2025 report; the Vera Institute figure is a separate measure covering a different period.
The Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails' October 2025 report lists 526 permanent beds, a rated (design) capacity of 250, and an actual capacity of 350 with double bunking included. The jail's average daily population for the year ending June 2025 was 352.77.
The Annex is a separate inmate housing area completed in 1994 and built to hold 115 inmates, added alongside the original 1962 building and a 1970s wing. Each housing area needs its own coverage for sick call, medication administration and emergency response.
Yes. Chesterfield holds a seat and an alternate seat on the Riverside Regional Jail Authority board, which also serves Charles City, Prince George, Surry, Colonial Heights, Hopewell and Petersburg, in addition to the county running its own jail.
The Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office also holds a board seat at Riverside Regional Jail Authority, reflecting the county's use of a shared regional facility alongside its own jail.
