Listen, some people.here are complaining it is overcrowded, or their son was on suicide watch. Get over it. Jail sucks, that's what it's for. However, as rich as va beach is, they DO need to expand to accommodate the number of inmates. Sleeping on the concrete floor is awful. But th e number one legitimate complaint that can be made about this place is their lack of proper nutrition. Not quality of food, quanitity. They don't even provide 3 hot meals a day. The sherif cut back on every expense possible. This is one of the worst jails in Hampton Roads by far. If you have no outside financial support you will starve in this place, causing inmates to do illegal activities to hustle up extra soups or crackers or whatever it is just so they aren't hurting from hunger. DOC requires more than va bea ch jail provides, and when doc inspectors come thru for those few days living conditions, primarily food, is much improved.
