Ralph Dobbins is superintendent of the new 25- million dollar facility he calls state of the art.
The jail is actually divided up-- so that inmates, both male and female, will be separated according to whether they require minimum, medium or maximum security.
There are also separate areas for inmates that come in drunk or on drugs.
[NAT SOUND]
To aid in security, inmates won't be wearing your standard orange.
For instance, maximum security inmates will wear black and white.
Since, most of the staff will be coming from the eight Southwest Virginia jurisdictions that have signed on to the p

Dobbins says this should help them adjust to watching over as many as 371- inmates.

Security is also state of the art in technical terms.
