The Virgin Islands Bureau of Corrections (BOC) operates the territory's correctional facilities. The Bureau of Corrections maintains a facility in
Saint Croix, the John A. Bell Adult Correctional Facility (formerly named Golden Grove). As of October 1, 2014, 132 sentenced prisoners and 136 non-sentenced prisoners are at Golden Grove. The bureau also maintains jails on the island of
St. Thomas: those in the Alexander Farrelly Criminal Justice Complex (CJC) and the Alva A. Swan Annex. Prior to October 1, 2014, due to staffing shortages at Golden Grove, 78 adult prisoners, including 75 sentenced prisoners at Golden Grove and three held at the St. Thomas Jails who were deemed by prison authorities as "behavioral and management concerns", were transferred to the privately operated
Citrus County Detention Facility in
Citrus County, Florida. ==References==
