Grisham to lead prison-reform discussion in Va.

Thu, Oct 15th 2009 12:00 am
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Best-selling author John Grisham will lead a panel discussion in Virginia about the state of the nation's prison system.

"Incarceration Nation" will focus on the prison-reform movement. It also will include an episode of the documentary "30 Days," which depicts filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's month in jail.

The discussion, to be held Monday in Charlottesville, is a fundraiser for Legal Aid Justice Center, a nonprofit that provides legal representation to low-income people. Last year's event raised more than $150,000.

Legal Aid Executive Director Alex Gulotta said this year's topic was inspired in part by U.S. Sen. Jim Webb. The senator wants to create an 18-month review of the criminal-justice system through the National Criminal Justice Commission Act of 2009.
