Richmond Mayoral Candidate Debate on Criminal Justice Issues

Thursday, October 13th 2016, from 7-9pm, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Richmond, VA) (815 East Grace Street), Richmond Justice is holding a mayoral debate on issues of criminal justice. All candidates will attend. From the organizers:

“Moderated by University of Richmond historian Julian Hayter, the debate will push candidates to distinguish their views from one another as they tackle tough questions about the justice system in Richmond. Individuals previously profiled by Richmond Justice will ask the candidates questions on a variety of topics: juvenile justice, homelessness, mental illness, substance abuse, and the challenges formerly incarcerated individuals face in securing employment and stability. The public will also have a chance to submit questions.”

Richmond Justice (richmondjustice.org) is a year-long project examining the justice landscape in Virginia’s capital city. Each week, the site reveals a new portrait and story about a Richmonder whose life is shaped in some way by the justice system.
