"Farmville, VA -- A clearing in the woods between this small town's water treatment plant and a metal salvage yard soon will be transformed into what could become the largest immigration detention facility in the mid-Atlantic region, a $21 million project fueled by the aggressive policies some Virginia localities have adopted toward identifying illegal immigrants and handing them over to the federal government."
Josh White and Nick Miroff Washington Post Staff Writers, Sunday, October 5, 2008.
The CCPJ Salon is a gathering to connect people in the peace and justice community. Our intention is to create dialogue on peace and justice issues, to provide a space for interpersonal and group communication, and to further both enjoyment, and action.
