Mecklenburg Correctional Center was a maximum security prison operated by the Virginia Department of Corrections in unincorporated Mecklenburg County, Virginia, United States,[1] near Boydton. It was closed in 2012 due to a decrease in the number of inmates in the Virginia corrections system and expensive ongoing maintenance needs. The 189 acres (76 ha) facility served as a reception and classification facility.[2]
Mecklenburg formerly housed the Commonwealth of Virginia's male death row.
It is located at 36°39′39″N78°21′49″W / 36.66083°N 78.36361°W / 36.66083; -78.36361 (36.6607, -78.3636).[3]
