Library - Leisure And Legal

The facility provides all inmates the opportunity to participate in library services. The general library provides material for research, leisure reading material, and a mechanism to allow inmates to check out materials for use in the housing area. Inmates are also provided access to a comprehensive collection of legal material, including books and software, for research.

The library is dedicated to Captain L. Pierson from the Alexandria Office of the Sheriff for her contributions to the Authority during the early development of the Peumansend Creek Regional Jail Authority. She helped organize the projected goals the Authority wanted to achieve in establishing a jail to include programs elements and the creation of the jail industries.

In FY 04, proceeds were used to replace all old and used books needing replacement with new books to include best sellers and other self-improvement materials.
