Virginia Correctional Enterprises (VCE)

Inmates employed in industrial prison jobs produce goods or services for sale

Industries such as upholstery, furniture building, printing, and commercial laundry provide services and products for sale to other State agencies and provide inmates with skilled job training.

The Private Industry Enhancement (PIE) program enables private businesses to manufacture within prisons using inmate labor. Inmates working in PIE jobs are paid prevailing wages and are required to return the majority of earnings to pay court costs, restitution, child support, and a portion of prison housing costs.

Joint ventures in manufacturing between VCE and private entities increase the quality and value of VCE products while expanding the market for community businesses.
