Here’s a recap of the top stories on the morning of Thursday, May 13, 2021:
Chesterfield is trying to relocate over 500 people from the county currently incarcerated at Riverside Regional Jail. A state committee recently recommended that the jail be found responsible for the deaths of three inmates over the last two years. The county’s Board of Supervisors heard several testimonies yesterday detailing the poor conditions at the facility. The state panel also suggested the jail be decertified and closed. A formal decision about the facility’s fate has yet to be made.
