Description
We will conduct a prayer vigil event at the execution site, the Greensville Correctional Center, Jarratt, VA. Candles will be provided. Bring bug spray if desired.
DIRECTIONS: The Greensville Correctional Center is located in Greensville County, not far from the town of Jarratt in Sussex County. Jarratt is at exit 20 of Interstate 95, 55 miles south of Richmond, and 20 miles north of the North Carolina border. After taking exit 20 turn right at the end of the exit ramp, if coming from Richmond (turn left if coming from Emporia). The first stop sign is at the intersection with US 301. There are convenience stores at the intersection, which have rest facilities (there are no rest facilities for us at the prison). Turn left (south) onto 301 and go eight-tenths of a mile. Turn right on the state road 397, Ridge Road (there is a marker for Greensville Correctional Center). Cross the railroad tracks and continue into Greensville County. You’ll soon see the prison and a sign on the right for parking in the field. Park there. Check before you leave to see if sentence has been commuted. (434) 825-1860
