The recent flood of stories about conditions surrounding the local bail and jail systems has prompted the Grace Church Commission on Mission to acquire first-hand information. Accordingly, a “pot-luck” dinner has been arranged for 6:30, October 30. Speakers for the event will be: Jefferson Tallent, Commissioner of Adult Services, St. Louis; Herman Wood, Director of Welfare Services, St. Louis County; and Judge Theodore McMillian, long of the Juvenile Court.
The meeting is open to any one in the neighborhood interested in any phase of penal reform, particularly local reform. Feel free to bring a “covered dish” and be with us for dinner, or to come in later, at 7:30, for the discussion. If there are questions, call me at 727-2030.
