I've been writing about prison abuse for many years, but the stories I heard from this facility were beyond egregious. New story on violence in a remote federal prison, and how those inside organized to expose what's happening: themarshallproject.org/2024/12/17/vir… w/ @NPR
New, from @BW The Egg: A story of extraction, exploitation and opportunity This investigation of the human egg trade (and egg theft) takes you from India➡️Argentina➡️Greece➡️Taiwan➡️US.... Superb work from a team of extraordinary reporters. Gift link: bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…
Today, I’m pardoning 39 people with non-violent crimes who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, and I’m commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 others – many of whom would have received lower sentences today. America was built on second chances. That's what these…
3 of my favorite people examine the impact of sleep deprivation in prison. @shannon_h & @keribla collaborated on the story by the @MarshallProj, and Professor @SharonDolovich is quoted. Kudos for bringing his too long neglected issue to light! themarshallproject.org/2024/12/12/sle…
Every year, millions of women in labor receive routine meds like fentanyl in their epidurals and blood pressure meds for c-sections. But these meds can trigger positive drug tests. And hospitals are reporting patients to CPS over it. My latest: themarshallproject.org/2024/12/11/pre…
My brilliant @MarshallProj colleagues analyzed 350,000+ of @realDonaldTrump's public statements and identified 13 major claims about immigration that are untrue or deeply misleading. Trump has repeated these false or misleading claims more than 500 times. themarshallproject.org/2024/10/21/fac…

Warden Who Ran Federal Prisons With Abusive Practices Now Directs National Training Center
A Bureau of Prisons investigation found that Andrew Ciolli failed to stop violations of the use of force policy at one prison. Now he’s running an agency training center.
NEW: Hospitals around the US are using inaccurate pee-in-a-cup drug tests to report new mothers to child protective services, prompting investigations and even the removal of newborns from their families over false positive results. My latest: themarshallproject.org/2024/09/09/dru…
Given the power nurse practitioners have over patient care, it's *a bit* disconcerting when the former director of the country's largest NP program says she can't recall denying acceptance to a single student. @CalebMelby @polly @NBuhayar @BW @business bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Let me show you a smart practice. "Investigate This" from the Marshall Project gives other newsrooms the tools they need to do their own versions of investigations the Marshall Project succeeded with. themarshallproject.org/investigate-th… A "reporting recipe" is what @propublica calls it.
How do you convince police officers that it makes sense to send unarmed mental health workers to some 911 calls? Part 1 of "The Fifth Branch," our new special series with @MarshallProj is out today. Listen and subscribe ⬇️ tradeoffs.org/2024/07/18/the…
Who do you want to respond if someone you know has a mental health crisis? I've spent a year talking to cities that send unarmed mental health workers instead of cops. The result is THE FIFTH BRANCH, a special series from @tradeoffspod + @MarshallProj. tradeoffs.org/thefifthbranch/
So if you know anything about the mental health care system in the U.S., you've probably heard it tends to overlap with police and the criminal legal system, right? The reality is a little more complicated but it's important to understand how and why🧵
They survived domestic violence—and then courts threw them in prison for their abusers' crimes. This is happening systematically, around the country. Important reporting by @shannon_h. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
🚨🚨🚨 Attention @IRE_NICAR journos: So excited to share that @MarshallProj is hosting networking and mentorship hours at #IRE24. I'll be there Friday afternoon. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
More states are passing laws that increase crim penalties for assaults on healthcare workers. But there's an unintended consequence: more people in crisis landing in jail, where they get even sicker. New story w/@sydbrownstone & @esmyjimenez: themarshallproject.org/2024/06/09/sea…
In WA, spitting on a health care worker is a felony. The law, meant to protect health care workers, ensnares mostly people in mental health crisis and does little to deter violence. From @cm_thompson3 @esmyjimenez and me. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/m…
