D.C. mayor’s visit to troubled detention facility canceled

Published March 6, 2007 5:00am ET



D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty canceled a private tour of the troubled Oak Hill Youth Center on Monday, a detention facility that is a subject of mayoral reform plans.

Fenty was scheduled to tour the facility, which has a history of overcrowding and security problems, with Youth Director Vincent Schiraldi and Council Member Tommy Wells, D-Ward 6, presumably for an update on a new, 60-bed maximum security building for juveniles planned near the current campus and to discuss an initiative laid out in Fenty’s plan for his first 100 days.
