In Mississippi, if you believe a loved one could pose a threat to themselves or others because of a mental health issue, you can file paperwork to have them evaluated. But first, they might have to go to jail – without being charged with a crime. (THREAD)

NEW: The ICE detention center near Buffalo has banned book deliveries, New York Focus has learned. Rejected books include a Spanish-English dictionary, a translation of a George R.R. Martin novel, and “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.” nysfocus.com/2025/10/08/bat…
Hello good people of X, I have some news: This week, I'm starting a new beat @MSTODAYnews covering the city of Jackson. My time on the higher ed beat has been challenging, enlightening and full of growth, but I'm so excited for something new.
From the comments: The ship of state is now riddled with self-inflicted holes, and soon the dream it evokes will sink beneath the waves. If this were theatre, this titanic, ghostly ship could do no better job communicating this moment in history nytimes.com/2025/02/19/us/…
Thank you Hannah and @jduffyrice for highlighting this story.
there were so many good pieces so it was hard to narrow them down! first is this piece about how the sprawling infrastructure of the criminal legal system fills in for our nonexistent mental health care system, and everyone loses: propublica.org/article/baptis…
This job will be absolutely fascinating.
Mississippi Today is hiring reporters for a new desk, led by me, to cover the many inspiring, gut-wrenching, profound, absurd, delightful, layered, deeply human stories of my home, Jackson, MS. Please share! mississippitoday.org/2024/11/22/job…
It is such a joy to see @ayewolfe of @MSTODAYnews recognized among the @time Time100 Next 2024. As @JudyWoodruff writes in the conclusion of her profile of Anna: “At a time when journalism is struggling to survive, Anna reminds us why it matters.”time.com/7023485/anna-w…

Mississippi's prison officials spent $4,500 to use the state plane to travel to a TN town to interview a Mississippi inmate about a security threat against a public official. Yet the state agency won't share any details surrounding the incident. mississippitoday.org/2024/06/27/mis…
After four wonderful years in Mississippi, I have a new job. Starting Monday I'll cover national news as a fellow at the New York Times. I'm grateful to everyone who shared their stories with me and to all my colleagues at @MSTODAYnews and @sunherald. nytco.com/careers/newsro…
In the US, people with severe mental illness often end up in jail bc there is no real system of care. @IsabelleTaft found something far more shocking in DeSoto County, MS: hundreds of patients awaiting treatment were sent to the county jail. propublica.org/article/baptis…
