At VA DOC - Brunswick Work Center's state corrections facility, well-behaved inmates can join a work release program, getting regular jobs in the public sector during the day. Depending on the rules, they might work weekdays and go home at night, serving their sentences only on weekends. Some stay in halfway houses or at home when they're not working. As they get closer to getting out, they might switch to reintegration programs and could even get full-time jobs when they are released.

This program has perks like better chances of finding a job after getting out, finding work faster, making more money afterward, and being less likely to go back to jail. Brunswick Work Center wants to help inmates succeed in getting back into society.

Located in Lawrenceville, VA, Brunswick Work Center plays a pivotal role in Virginia's correctional system as a multi-custody facility managed by the Virginia Department of Corrections. Serving as both a reception and classification center for women in the region and a work center for minimum-security offenders, Brunswick sets eligibility criteria for Level 1 security, excluding individuals convicted of certain offenses such as murder, sex offenses, or kidnapping, with a clean disciplinary record for the past two years.

Functioning as an intake and reception center, Brunswick assesses incoming offenders from surrounding jails, classifies them based on security level, and assigns them to a permanent facility within the system. Inmates at the work center are either assigned institutional jobs or participate in work-release programs, fostering accountability and responsibility by working in the community during the day and returning to the prison at the end of their shift.

Established in 1982, Brunswick maintains an average daily population of 708 inmates. While it does not house special populations, the facility accommodates inmates classified to multiple security levels and participates in the Virginia Correctional Enterprises program, particularly in the Office Systems Industry.

Offering a range of programs aimed at constructive inmate engagement, rehabilitation, and reducing recidivism rates, Brunswick's initiatives include core offerings like inmate work activities, substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and life skills programming. Emphasizing substance abuse treatment through Therapeutic Community (TC) programs, Brunswick has achieved success in reducing recidivism rates when paired with community follow-up services.

Supplementary programs encompass Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, counseling, and substance abuse recovery groups. Life skills programs prepare inmates for reintegration into society, covering essential topics such as job search, budgeting, and family responsibilities. Additionally, Brunswick offers specialized programs tailored for behavior management, anger management, and specific populations like women offenders and geriatric inmates, contributing to holistic inmate rehabilitation and positive growth during incarceration.
