How Jail Staff’s Deadly Errors Cost Lives in Cleveland Jail administrators fail to fix mistakes that continue to cost lives, an analysis of state records by The Marshall Project - Cleveland shows.

Michael Papp’s body was cold and stiff inside his secluded Cuyahoga County jail cell when an officer finally opened the door. Officers reportedly walked the pod 50 times, peeking inside cells for signs of life. Yet, somehow, they missed a dead body.

After Haitians Endured Campaign Lies, An Ohio Town Prepares For ICE Falsely accused of eating pets, and worse, Haitians in Springfield have survived harassment, and now fear deportation.

Falsely accused of eating pets, and worse, Haitians in Springfield have survived harassment, and now fear deportation. If the judge allows the temporary protected status to expire, people in this Ohio city believe it will be one of the next places that ICE officials will conduct mass deportations.

In one case, O’Brien testified that 11-year-old Jordan Brown would not benefit from rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system because he would not admit to committing the crime when the two spoke. The Pennsylvania Superior Court later threw out O’Brien’s testimony.

I think one especially important thing to pay attention to that we we report on in the above story, is how federal officials describe the incidents early on, and the cracks in those narratives that later emerge.

Why America’s Jails Are So Disgusting Understaffing, outdated facilities and poor management have led to filthy conditions in jails in St. Louis, Cleveland and Hinds County, Mississippi.

Despite legal challenges, jails across the country are still filthy with plumbing issues, vermin, feces-covered walls, & limited access to basic hygiene products [ @ivyscott.bsky.social @brittanyhailer.bsky.social @dajaehenry.com @themarshallproject.org ]

“After a period of psychiatric hospital closures and investment in community support, Pennsylvania has shifted focus to the most restrictive care possible…for people who have been put at risk in an ill-equipped justice system, for actions that in many cases could have been prevented with care.”

While you're all here, if you want to read some actual journalism, this is the second story in my series about the collapse of the mental health care system in Pennsylvania. I'm really proud of it.
