Correctional healthcare for Fairfax County's Adult Detention Center, a three building campus serving the county, Fairfax City and two towns.
The Fairfax County Adult Detention Center is built in three connected phases, the East Building, the North Building and the West Building, a direct supervision facility for minimum security inmates, with an average daily population of 560.01 and an actual capacity including double bunking of 1,574. GENESYS would staff all three structures on the same clinical protocols and medication supply chain, matching coverage to the lower acuity West Building as well as the original housing.
GENESYS is physician-owned, with leadership reachable 24/7/365 and vacancies covered through overtime, compliance pool nurses, PRN staffing pools and contingency staffing so coverage holds across the campus. Clinical decisions are made by doctors. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through a staffing plan for all three buildings together.
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 Fairfax County Sheriff's Office operates the Adult Detention Center at 10520 Judicial Drive in Fairfax, built in three connected phases. The East Building opened in 1978 with a capacity of 198, the North Building was added in 1987 and brought capacity to 589, and the West Building, a direct supervision facility for minimum security inmates, opened in 2000. The Virginia Department of Corrections sets the ADC's maximum capacity at 1,260.
The Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails' October 2025 capacity report lists the facility on a single combined line, Fairfax County/City, covering both Fairfax County and the independent City of Fairfax: 1,474 permanent beds, 168 temporary beds, 155 special purpose beds, an actual capacity including double bunking of 1,574, a rated capacity of 1,260, and an average daily population of 560.01 for the period July 2024 through June 2025. The Sheriff's Office states the ADC serves Fairfax County, the City of Fairfax, and the towns of Herndon and Vienna.
Healthcare coverage at the ADC spans three physically connected structures added in phases since 1978: the original East Building, the North Building added in 1987, and the West Building, a direct supervision facility that opened in 2000 for minimum security inmates. A staffing plan has to reach all three, including the lower acuity West Building population, not just the original structure.
The state's own capacity report combines Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax into one line because the ADC serves both, along with the towns of Herndon and Vienna. Healthcare documentation and reporting have to reflect a facility built around a shared service area rather than a single town or county alone.
The Board of Local and Regional Jails reports Fairfax County and the independent City of Fairfax on one combined line; the figures above cover both jurisdictions together. The Vera Institute figure is a separate measure covering a different period.
