Sussex II State Prison was a prison of the Virginia Department of Corrections located in unincorporated Sussex County, Virginia, near Waverly. It was adjacent to Sussex I State Prison, which lies to its southeast, just across Mussellwhite Drive.
One of only four state prisons, the facility had a maximum capacity of 1,352 offenders. It was a security level 4 prison. The prison offers vocational and educational programs, as well as re-entry to offenders who qualify. In terms of building structure, the facility was identical to Sussex I State Prison.
In May 2004, two inmates attempted to escape the prison in a truck but were apprehended.
