Red Onion State Prison

Red Onion State Prison (ROSP) is a supermax state prison located in Wise County, Virginia, near Pound. Operated by the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC), it houses about 800 inmates.〔(Red Onion State Prison ), ''Commonwealth of Virginia'', accessed 7 November 2012.〕 The prison opened in August 1998 and was the primary model for Wallens Ridge State Prison in Big Stone Gap.〔
==Background==
Plans were announced in 1992 to build a prison on Red Onion Mountain, with cost of construction estimated at $52 million. 375 acres of land were donated by the Pittston Coal Company, which reserved some rights to mineral extraction. Many residents of Wise County supported constructing the prison because of jobs it would provide and because it would remain relatively isolated. One official said: "It's off the beaten path. You won't even know it's there."〔''(Business Journal of Upper East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia )'' 5(11), December 1992.〕 The prison was designed by Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall, a subdivision of AECOM since 1984.〔Gordon Wright, "Maximum security", ''Building Design and Construction'' 42(2), February 1999; accessed (via ProQuest ).〕
The final cost of construction was over $70 million, with ground broken in 1995.〔 As of 1999, the prison employed almost 800 people. Many of the corrections officers arrived at Red Onion after being laid off from jobs in nearby coalfields.〔"Miners' New Prospect Is Prison Guard Jobs", ''Washington Post'', 16 March 1998. Accessed (via ProQuest ). "The state employment office has received more than 3,000 applications for the 403 guard jobs, paying $20,000 a year, at Red Onion State Prison, which will open in July. Many of the applications come from laid-off miners."〕
Red Onion is one of six new prisons built in Virginia between 1995 and 2000. It thus contributed an increase in capacity to the Virginia Corrections system that allowed the state to contractually accept inmates from outside the state.〔Judith A. Greene, "(Entrepreneurial Corrections: Incarceration As A Business Opportunity", in ''Invisible Punishment )'', ed. Marc Maurer and Meda Chesney-Lind; New York, The New Press, 2002.〕 In 1999, the District of Columbia Department of Corrections was paying the Virginia Department of Corrections to house 69 prisoners at the Red Onion State Prison.〔 These contracts were substantially reduced in 2004, when VADOC announced that it needed more supermax space for Virginians.〔Maria Glod, "Va. to Send Out-of-State Inmates Packing; State Says It Needs Space Used by 1,000 Prisoners from Conn., D.C., Elsewhere", ''Washington Post'', 28 February 2004.〕 In 2011, VADOC reported only 15 out-of-state inmates at Red Onion: two from Pennsylvania and thirteen from the U.S. Virgin Islands.〔
