Located at 221 Spitler Cir in Greenville, VA, Cold Springs Correctional Unit 10 carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Cold Springs Correctional Unit 10 offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

Cold Springs Correctional Unit operates as a Security Level 1 - Low facility, with stringent assignment criteria ensuring the exclusion of inmates with certain convictions and behavioral histories. Specifically, individuals with offenses such as Murder I or II, sex offenses, kidnapping/abduction, or escape history are ineligible for placement. Additionally, disruptive behavior within the past 24 months is grounds for disqualification. The unit, established in 1995, functions primarily as a work center, accommodating a modest average daily population of 150 inmates.

Unlike some other correctional facilities, Cold Springs lacks special populations or programs, focusing instead on providing opportunities for inmate rehabilitation through work activities and core programming. The Virginia Department of Corrections emphasizes a comprehensive approach to inmate treatment, aiming to address both their security and rehabilitation needs.

Treatment planning begins upon inmates' entry into the prison system, with assessments guiding the development of individualized treatment plans. These plans outline necessary programs and services, with progress evaluated and documented annually. Core programs at Cold Springs include inmate work activities, substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and life skills programming.

Substance abuse programming plays a crucial role in addressing inmates' needs, with approximately 80% of the Department's inmates having a history of substance abuse contributing to their criminality. Intensive substance abuse treatment, including Therapeutic Community programs, is offered at various prisons statewide. These programs are highly structured and confront inmates' substance abuse and criminal behavior.

In addition to substance abuse treatment, educational programs are available at every prison facility, providing essential information on the health, social, and legal consequences of substance abuse. Support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are facilitated, often through community volunteer participation.

Life skills development is prioritized at Cold Springs, with a dedicated program designed to encourage inmates to set positive goals and prepare for life beyond incarceration. This program covers essential topics such as job search and retention, housing, budgeting, and family responsibilities.

Moreover, each prison facility offers a range of additional services to meet the diverse needs of inmates, including behavior management, women offender programs, anger management, geriatric care, victim support groups, and specialized programs for property offenders. These initiatives contribute to the holistic approach to inmate rehabilitation and positive growth during incarceration.
