Following further inquiry from 8News, VADOC confirmed that Greensville Correctional Center is currently on lockdown.

“A ‘lockdown’ status restricts the movement of inmates, providing the VADOC opportunities to keep people in place in order to do an effective search of the facility,” a VADOC spokesperson said.

Earlier this month, Virginia State Police announced they were investigating after an employee at Greensville Correctional Center was found dead in her car which was parked in the facility’s parking lot. A little over a week later, an inmate was found dead in his cell. 8News sources indicated the inmate had died of a fentanyl overdose.
