Brunswick Correctional Center
Brunswick Correctional Center was a prison of the Virginia Department of Corrections in unincorporated Brunswick County, Virginia, near Lawrenceville.[1]
Closing
[edit | edit source]The prison, which once had 700-800 employees,[2] had about 328.5 [sic] employees in 2009.[3] As a part of the budget cut program from Governor of Virginia Tim Kaine, it was scheduled to close on October 10, 2009,[4] with the state believing it would per year save the state government $10,400,000. The state planned to end 164 full-time job positions.[3] The closing harmed economic prospects of the people around the area as the community did not have many other jobs.[2] Frank Ruff, a member of the Virginia Senate;[5] the county administrator, Charlette T. Wooldridge; and the county sheriff both criticized the closure.[6]
The state offered the property for sale and decreased the price, from $30 million to $10 million by 2015, when potential owners failed to materialize. That year the Virginia General Assembly approved a motion for the corrections department to demolish vacant buildings.[7]
