Help clearing criminal records, obtaining government identification and finding stable housing were among the services provided Nov. 6 at the latest Clean Slate Day.

The Heart of Richmond Park at Macdonald Avenue and Harbour Way was the epicenter of the event held to help people who have recently gotten out of prison or who have gotten caught in the criminal justice system. Clean Slate Day is a joint effort of the Contra Costa Public Defender’s Office and the Reentry Success Center.
