The Deerfield Correctional Center is a state prison for men located in Capron, Southampton County, Virginia, owned and operated by the Virginia Department of Corrections.

It houses a special population of "Geriatric and Assisted Living Inmates": elderly, infirm, disabled and other special-needs prisoners.

The number of elderly prisoners has increased in Virginia's inmate population since the Commonwealth's abolition of parole in 1994.

By 1955 Southampton had developed as a campus that included a livestock operation, a cannery, and a sewage disposal facility.
