Virginia Correctional Enterprises Revenue and Competitors

VCE is a self-supporting agency established by the general assembly over 75 years ago to employ offenders in Virginia’s correctional system. We purchase our own equipment and supplies and employ a staff of over 160 Virginians. VCE's job-training programs have had a major impact in helping Virginia post the lowest re-incarceration rate in the country for the third consecutive year at 23.4%. VCE job training programs are voluntary and offenders interview to be accepted. The job skills and experience gained from VCE programs enable offenders a greater chance of finding a job after release.The minimal profits generated by VCE are reinvested in the Department of Corrections, reducing tax-payer burdens. The VCE offender workforce, staff and entire organization are dedicated to producing quality items and services made in Virginia at competitive prices with industry-leading warranties, to both delight our customers and fulfill our worthy mission. We don't hire offenders to make products. We sell products in order to enable the training of offenders.
