The Virginia Center for
Behavioral Rehabilitation (VCBR) was created by the Virginia General
Assembly's passage of legislation in 1999. The legislation was
enacted in 2003 and the current facility was located in Dinwiddie
County.
Like other states, Virginia has sought to create a secure treatment facility for those
sex offenders believed to present the greatest threat to the
community. Inmates from the Department of Corrections who are
within 10 months of completing their sentences, and who have been
convicted of certain sexual crimes are subjected to a comprehensive
screening process. This results in some individuals being civilly
committed to VCBR to participate in intensive treatment. Eventual
conditional release back into the community is determined by their
progress in treatment and reduction of re-offense risk.
The Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation (VCBR) is a model Behavioral Treatment Center and a proven innovative leader in the profession. The Commonwealth is a safer place to live and work because the Center maintains suitable custody and exemplary rehabilitation of residents.
The employees are the cornerstone of the center. We share a common purpose and a commitment to the highest professional standards and excellence in public service. The Center, through its unwavering commitment to its employees, is a gratifying place to work and grow professionally.
