Dear VIP Customer.

Due to extreme inflationary pressures on raw materials and transportation, Virginia Correctional Enterprises will require a 50% deposit on all VCE projects totaling over $500,000.

The remaining balance due will continue to be paid under current VCE terms. No split-ordering will be accepted in order to artificially place orders under the $500K threshold.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support for VCE's critical mission.

ACA Accreditation

Virginia Correctional Enterprises (VCE) is proud to report that the Commission on Accreditation of the American Correctional Association (ACA) voted to fully re-accredit VCE for three years on January 6, 2024.

ACA accreditation is part of VCE’s commitment to excellence through continuous improvement and ongoing compliance with the ACA Performance-Based Standards for Correctional Industries which address expected practices in correctional industries and include life, health, and safety standards as it pertains to staff and inmates.

The ACA Accreditation process promotes improvement in the management of correctional agencies through the administration of a voluntary accreditation program and the ongoing development and revision of relevant, useful standards. The standards, created and continuously refined by the ACA, represent leading correctional policies, procedures, and practices across all areas of operation.

Although it can take a little time to receive your order, the furniture is very well made and worth the wait. Also, I was having a hard time finding a stand up desk to fit the size of my regular desk. Karl actually made a trip to Harrisonburg to look at my desk, measure it, and talk with me about options. Then he went back to his office, checked it out, and let me know what they could do. You don’t get that type of service much anymore!
