The Sheriff’s Public Affairs Office ensures that citizens are provided accurate facts about the Richmond City Sheriff’s Office, so the public can draw well-informed conclusions about the Office and its level of service and commitment to the safety and welfare of the community. We rely on the members of the media to help the Office tell citizens how important their involvement is in the Sheriff’s efforts to improve the Richmond City Sheriff’s Office and conditions at the Jail as we work to maintain a safe and secure operation.
In the first project of its kind, the Jail partnered early in the first term with the Richmond Times Dispatch for an in-depth documentary
featuring what it is like to live and work in the Richmond City Jail. Over a 10-month period, teams of reporters and photojournalists
spent countless hours in the Jail for the series- 'Hard Time', published in November 2006.
An online video version is available below.
