The Arlington County Detention Center's sheriff's department provides various programs for incarcerated people during and after release. The Sheriff's Office provides work opportunities and employment training for prisoners to aid in their rehabilitation. They are assigned to full-time workforce positions and are compensated by payment, other privileges (approved by the Director of Corrections), or under certain sentence guidelines, credited days off their sentence. It helps prisoners gain meaningful experience and marketable vocational skills to strengthen their work ethic and self-esteem, which are necessary for returning to the community. The Arlington County Reentry Committee assists incarcerated individuals with supportive services so they may easily transition from jail to the community and sustain a life that will not lead to recidivism. These services are also made available to their families. Some of the services provided by the program include identification cards, mental health services, substance abuse services, shelter placement and job placement.
