The Prince William County Adult Detention Center held its biannual community resource fair on October 29.
- Usually held in April and September, the fair provides inmates with the opportunity to attend programs during their pre-release in incarceration.
- This was the jail’s biggest fair to date, and the jail will continue to address and grow reentry transition services here at the ADC along with community partners, according to a jail spokeswoman.
The ADC provides anger management classes, AA groups, substance abuse support groups, religious services, and life skills presentations.
Inmate Deramus Joseph who attended the fair and told Potomac Local about how the resources helped him. He says that he wants to move out of Virginia and work as a physical therapist.
Vendors who attended included:
- Breaking the Cycle of Crime
- League of Women Voters
