The Virginia state prison system offers various programs and services to support the effective operation of facilities and facilitate positive growth among inmates.

Treatment planning begins upon inmates' reception into the prison system, with assessments guiding the development of personalized treatment plans. Core programs cover inmate work activities, substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and life skills programming. Substance abuse programming, including intensive treatment in Therapeutic Community programs, is emphasized due to its effectiveness in addressing substance abuse and criminal behavior.

Moreover, the prison system offers educational programs, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other counseling and recovery groups. Life skills programs aid inmates in preparing for reintegration into society by addressing essential topics such as employment, housing, budgeting, and family responsibilities.
