Correctional healthcare across two regional jails that the Henrico County Sheriff's Office operates for three Virginia localities.
The Henrico County Sheriff's Office operates two separate regional jails under a three way agreement with Goochland and New Kent counties, Regional Jail West and Regional Jail East, with a combined average daily population of about 1,079. GENESYS would staff both sites on the same clinical protocols and medication supply chain, building on the mental health and substance abuse programming already running at each facility.
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 at both campuses. Clinical decisions are made by doctors. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through a staffing plan for Regional Jail West and East 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 Henrico County Sheriff's Office operates Regional Jail West at 4317 East Parham Road in Henrico, a maximum security facility that opened in 1980 and underwent a major expansion in 1996, housing both pretrial and post-trial inmates. The Board of Local and Regional Jails' October 2025 capacity report lists Regional Jail West with 672 permanent beds, 43 temporary beds, an actual capacity including double bunking of 715, and a rated capacity of 329.
The same Sheriff's Office also maintains and operates Regional Jail East in Barhamsville, built under a regional agreement between Goochland, Henrico and New Kent counties and dedicated in 1996 on a 76-acre campus. Regional Jail East has 632 permanent beds, an actual capacity of 632, and a rated capacity of 528. Combined, the two facilities had an average daily population of 1,078.93 for the period July 2024 through June 2025, and the Sheriff's Office states it manages a jail population of over 1,200 inmates across its facilities.
Healthcare for Henrico's jail population means covering two physically separate facilities: Regional Jail West in Henrico, and Regional Jail East in Barhamsville, operated under a three-way agreement between Goochland, Henrico and New Kent counties. That requires clinical staff and medication supplies at both locations, plus records that follow an inmate if they move between the two, rather than a single staffing plan built around one building.
Regional Jail West already provides a wide range of mental health and substance abuse services, including group and individual counseling. Regional Jail East, built as a 'new generation' direct supervision facility and described as the first campus-style jail in Virginia, offers mental health and substance abuse services alongside education and vocational programs. A healthcare contract for either site has to staff psychiatric and counseling coverage to match programming that is already in place, not just medical sick call.
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.
