The Virginia Department of Corrections’ Office of Law Enforcement Services arrested a former Greensville Correctional Center sergeant on an assault and battery charge stemming from an incident involving an incarcerated person.
Greensville County Commonwealth’s Attorney Robin Quinn authorized an arrest warrant for Cortraez Terry on Sept. 15, 2026. The following day, the Office of Law Enforcement Services served Terry with the warrant at the Greensville County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Virginia Department of Corrections, the charge stems from a May 25, 2026, incident in which Terry was witnessed by staff repeatedly punching a restrained inmate.
The department said Terry admitted to the assault when questioned and was immediately terminated.
“The men and women of the VADOC do a great job daily providing public safety in our facilities,” VADOC Director Joseph W. Walters said. “The VADOC does not condone any abuse or excessive use of force and will hold any staff member accountable for acting in ways that are not in alignment with the values and principles of the VADOC.”
