MANASSAS, Va. — Growing pains at a jail in Manassas prompted officials Tuesday to urge leaders to fund an expansion of the facility.
The Prince William County / Manassas Adult Detention Center houses nearly 972 inmates – all of them arrested and processed into the jail from police in Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park. The jail sits next to the county’s courthouse on Lee Avenue, and because inmates keep coming, it has already outgrown a $2.1 million Phase I expansion that opened in 2008.
MANASSAS, Va. — Cases of flu are problematic in Prince William County schools.
An absentee report maintained by the county school division shows a 10 percent increase in absences at Lake Ridge, West Gate, and Yorkshire elementary schools. While it may seem like a lot, the absence rate is actually an improvement over recent weeks, spokeswoman Irene Cromer said.
