9518 Workhouse Way, Lorton VA 22079
“Dad worked at the medium/ maximum security Federal prison at lorton, Virgina retiring in 1960. The penitentiary complex located in and around lorton Virginia was the federal prison system created for crimes committed in the DC area or the DC district which is a federal district requiring Prisons not run by the state or county. They are calling it the workhouse? This was the name given to the prison within the complex near occoquan where short timers were sent. The pictures that we have seen look to be the large prison which was called 'The Hill' as it sat on top of a large rise in the topgraphical area. There was also a female prison near the workhouse in occoquan. And the new youth prison which was being completed as my father retired. The liberals contrived the youth facility meant well. It was built like a college, dormitory rooms 4 youth to a room. Unfortunately, the feedback father got from his friends Left behind was this new modern idea never panned out. A complete and utter failure, the mild rules and leniency produced crime within the facility so bad that the youth seemed to run the facility. The workhouse which was for the short-timers those were the fellas that would come out and mow the lawn, paint & do repairs to houses that were on the reservation. Just like the military service, certain people with time in grade and rank could put in for reservation housing. I grew up in such a house. we were just over the hill from the main prison guessing the house sat on 20 acres. Unlike prisons that are corporate contracted to states or counties or state managed facilities, the complex in lorton was self-sustaining. Beeves grazed on surrounding pastures on reservation, the prison operated a packing house, raised hogs, produced their own road or building bricks, operated their own waste water treat facilities, performed all maintenance & repairs thru inmate labor unless it required structural engineering. We used to go on site often. Glad to know the complex was re-purposed.”
