Marine Corps Brig, Quantico is a U.S. military prison operated at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The brig has been in operation since 1968 and currently has a maximum capacity of 280 inmates who are locked up between 30 and 90 days.

The Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommended in 2005 that the brig be closed, and the Secretary of Defense has to implement the commission's recommendations at the latest on September 15, 2011. A new brig is scheduled to be built in Chesapeake, Virginia. Instead a small detention facility will be built at Camp Lejeune to hold detainees awaiting court martial.
