The Arlington County Detention Facility is located at 1435 North Courthouse Road, Arlington, VA It is the first urban high-rise jail in Virginia and “one of the most technically advanced direct supervision facilities in the country,” according to the Sheriff’s Office. It was built in 1994 and 200 employees manage an average of 300 inmates daily.
Due to high security, the tour is limited to only 20 members (two tours of 10 each) with security clearances. No one will be allowed to pass through the front lobby without pre-clearance.
