RSS The Marshall Project

  • How Policing Has — and Hasn’t — Changed Since George Floyd August 6, 2022
    More than two years after millions took to the streets to protest police violence, the problem persists. That doesn’t mean nothing has changed.
  • Prison Money Diaries: What People Really Make (and Spend) Behind Bars August 4, 2022
    We asked people in prison to track their earning and spending — and bartering and side hustles — for 30 days. Their accounts reveal a thriving underground economy behind bars.
  • She Tried to ‘Humanize’ Prisons in Oregon. Can She Fix the Federal System? August 4, 2022
    Inspired by European models, the new Bureau of Prisons director built a Japanese garden in one penitentiary and made official language less demeaning. But some are skeptical of lasting reform.

RSS Prison Policy Initiative

  • New data reveals where people in Washington prisons come from
    Added New data reveals where people in Washington prisons come from to the Prison Policy Blog. Report shows every community is harmed by mass incarceration
  • Incarcerated on Census Day: How even brief jail and prison stays can last a decade
    Added Incarcerated on Census Day: How even brief jail and prison stays can last a decade to the Prisoners of the Census Blog. Length-of-stay data from prisons and jails offers yet another reason why counting incarcerated people as correctional facility “residents” doesn’t make sense.
  • Pennsylvania ending prison gerrymandering, Montana close behind
    Added Pennsylvania ending prison gerrymandering, Montana close behind to the Prisoners of the Census Blog. Pennsylvania and Montana poised to become first states to end prison gerrymandering without legislation, a solution the Prison Policy Initiative has recommended in other states as well. New Jersey expands its law to cover congressional and local districts.
