Department of Corrections

The Virginia Homeland Security Task Force (VHSTF), a federal-state partnership established by the U.S. Department of Justice to combat transnational organized crime, gang violence and immigration violations across Virginia passed 500 arrests this week, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced Monday.  

A spokesperson told the House of Delegates Public Safety Committee Monday that an investigation into the conditions at Red Onion State Prison would be given priority once the newly created Office of the Department of Corrections Ombudsman was fully staffed.
