James River Correctional Center was an American medium-security state-run correctional facility in Goochland County near Crozier, Virginia. Opened in 1896, it was the oldest prison in Virginia.[1] The correctional center housed approximately 450 male prisoners and employed 160 staff.[1] The facility was closed effective April 1, 2011, due to a proposed state budget cut of $10.9 million for the following fiscal year.[1][2]
