The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) is responsible for the care, security and well-being of over 30,000 inmates, 60,000 supervisees and 13,000 staff.

To accomplish this, each person within the VADOC is accountable to ensure that the organization works efficiently, effectively and continuously with minimal disruptions. Agency culture and environment are critical to achieving the agency’s mission.

It is safe, respectful, and ethical—where people are both supported and challenged to be accountable for their actions.”
