The Roanoke River Correctional Institution is a minimum/medium security prison in North Carolina, United States.

Halifax Community College works with the prison to provide vocational classes, adult basic education and preparation for the GED tests.

It is the only prison facility in NC where state correctional officers ride horses on patrol.

Correction Enterprises manages the farm which raises chickens and row crops such as corn, wheat, cotton and soybeans.

The cannery processes and cans crops grown on the farm for distribution to prison kitchens across the state.

[citation needed] With the intent of putting inmates to work, the General Assembly leased the Caledonia farm in 1890.

Flooding problems continued to plague the area and practically the entire farm was repossessed by the state within five years of the auction.
