SHENANDOAH VALLEY, Va. (WVIR) - Middle River Regional Jailâs Superintendent laid out expansion plans to Augusta County Supervisors Wednesday night during a board meeting in Verona.
The jail also serves Staunton, Waynesboro, Rockingham County, and Harrisonburg. And, it is out of space.
The number of inmates has grown since the jail opened in 2006 which requires more beds. But, it also means increasing requirements when it comes to treating mental health, substance abuse, and providing medical care.
