Dillwyn | Virginia Correctional Enterprises

Dear VIP Customer.

Due to extreme inflationary pressures on raw materials and transportation, Virginia Correctional Enterprises will require a 50% deposit on all VCE projects totaling over $500,000, starting July 1, 2023.

The remaining balance due will continue to be paid under current VCE terms. No split-ordering will be accepted in order to artificially place orders under the $500K threshold.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support for VCE's critical mission.

ACA Accreditation

Virginia Correctional Enterprises (VCE) is proud to report that the Commission on Accreditation of the American Correctional Association (ACA) voted to fully re-accredit VCE for three years on January 6, 2024.

ACA accreditation is part of VCE’s commitment to excellence through continuous improvement and ongoing compliance with the ACA Performance-Based Standards for Correctional Industries which address expected practices in correctional industries and include life, health, and safety standards as it pertains to staff and inmates.

The ACA Accreditation process promotes improvement in the management of correctional agencies through the administration of a voluntary accreditation program and the ongoing development and revision of relevant, useful standards. The standards, created and continuously refined by the ACA, represent leading correctional policies, procedures, and practices across all areas of operation.

VCE's Dillwyn facility provides inmate training on metal component cutting, milling, and welding.

Inmate workforce members are trained using a multitude of metal and upholstery manufacturing equipment and practices. They learn high demand skilled jobs in working with various materials, techniques, and processes. Both modern technologically advanced equipment as well as manual processes are utilized in the manufacturing of product offerings.

VCE Workforce Development employs strategies to improve the inmate workers’ productivity in the workplace and provide the necessary skills to secure meaningful employment in the private sector upon their release from custody. We are committed to workforce development programs that focus on the inmate workers’ ability to grow their skills and develop the tools needed for future success. This training is delivered in the form of registered apprenticeships, industry/vendor certification programs and workforce development programs.

"With the VCE program here that they have it’s nice because it’s a job…it’s job skills…these guys are learning stuff and it’s not just learning the actual skills they’re actually learning how to work with other people…That’s what I think is really important about this program…it teaches you work ethic, not just how to weld."

I have recently attended several meetings wearing our new summer uniform, both on and off campus, and have received many compliments. I have proudly told others that this was a Virginia Correctional Enterprises project and that we have been completely satisfied with the quality and service of VCE.
