Ban city purchases of products made with prison labor
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no policy preventing the purchase of goods made by incarcerated workers. The city would review all current contracts and suppliers to identify products made with prison labor. If approved, future vendors must disclose whether they use prison labor and the city transitions to ethical suppliers.
