Private Prisons Drive Up Cost of Incarceration: Study | The Crime Report

RSS The Marshall Project

  • Alabama Almost Executed Charles ‘Sonny’ Burton. His Daughter Tells Her Story. March 13, 2026
    Justice has long been as elusive as Bigfoot, Carolyn Amanda Shavers writes. But when Alabama’s governor spared her dad’s life, she caught a glimpse.
  • Public Records Shed Light on the Justice System — But it Can Be a Battle to Get Them March 13, 2026
    The government has stalled on FOIAs for years in some cases. In others, agencies have said public records will cost thousands of dollars.
  • The Marshall Project Hires Reem Akkad as Managing Editor March 11, 2026
    Akkad, veteran of The Washington Post, becomes key leader of investigative newsroom.

RSS Prison Policy Initiative

  • New Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie report shows effects of Trump's immigrant detention campaign on incarceration numbers
    Added New Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie report shows effects of Trump's immigrant detention campaign on incarceration numbers to the Prison Policy Blog. The increase in the number of people behind bars since last year's report is almost entirely attributable to immigration enforcement.
  • Bad Omens: Reform rollbacks in Washington D.C. are a warning sign for state-level advocates
    Added Bad Omens: Reform rollbacks in Washington D.C. are a warning sign for state-level advocates to the Prison Policy Blog. Bills in Congress that repeal bail reform, worsen mandatory minimums, and further criminalize youth threaten to undo decades of criminal legal system reform in D.C.
  • Advocates warn Census Bureau of impending test failure, inaccurate counts of incarcerated people
    Added Advocates warn Census Bureau of impending test failure, inaccurate counts of incarcerated people to the Prisoners of the Census Blog. Without testing improved ways of counting people in correctional facilities, the Bureau is destined to repeat the errors of past decades again in the 2030 Census.
