This hour, we’re reflecting on what has and has not changed in those five years. We'll look at the protests in historical context to try to understand the ways they succeeded and failed. We’ll also talk about whether have been changes in the rate of police violence since 2020.

Gov. Hochul's budget includes money to add new spaces in subway stations where mental health outreach workers can connect with homeless people. And, Mayor Adams' $115 billion budget plan includes new spending on policing, affordable housing and more. Also, a new proposal from the Adams administration could mean a rent hike for people using housing vouchers. Plus, reporters at the Marshall Project look into prisoners' safety in jail infirmaries. And finally, mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is pitching a new idea that would base social services underground.

We'll talk to reporters from The Marshall Project and News 5 Cleveland about a new year-long investigation into two deaths at the county jail.

(Jan 16, 2025) The family of an inmate who was fatally beaten last month is suing the officers involved, but union protections make it incredibly difficult for officers to be fired, even in cases of abuse. We talk with a reporter from the Marshall Project, which covers the criminal justice system. Also: President-elect Donald Trump may consider an executive order to protect gas stoves from local and state bans in places like New York.

Alternative response teams are being asked to tackle vexing problems: mental illness, homelessness, addiction. How much can they actually do? We explore how Durham grapples with connecting people to long-term care and support, and where the city draws the line between crisis response and social services.Guests:Ryan Smith, Director, Durham Community Safety DepartmentSammetta Cutler, Peer Support Specialist, Durham Community Safety DepartmentSarah Hall, Durham residentDavid Prater, Peer Support Specialist, Durham Community Safety DepartmentJohn Warasila, Real estate developer and architect, Alliance ArchitectureBo Ferguson, Deputy City Manager, DurhamPatrice Andrews, Police Chief, Durham Police DepartmentChristie Thompson, Staff Writer, The Marshall ProjectAllison Casey, EMT, Durham Community Safety DepartmentEMS, Fire, Police and the 911 Call Center make up the existing four branches of the public safety system. A special series from Tradeoffs and The Marshall Project explores how a city radically changes its response to people in crisis, by creating a fifth branch. Nearly half of the country's 50 largest cities - including San Francisco, New York, Houston, Chicago - have launched programs to send unarmed responders to 911 calls historically handled by cops. In the process creating a new generation of first responders made up of clinicians, EMTs and unarmed mental health workers all responding to people who struggle with addiction, homelessness and mental illness. To understand this work we head to Durham, North Carolina, which has - in the face of skepticism and downright opposition - built one of the most comprehensive programs in the country.How did Durham pull off what so many cities have struggled to do?

In this episode of the Non-Profit Build Up Podcast, we explore the critical role of fiscal sponsorship in justice reform with special guest Jennifer Toon. Jennifer, Executive Director for Lioness JIWA and a powerful advocate for system-impacted women, joins our Founder, CEO, and Managing Attorney, Nic Campbell, to discuss how fiscal sponsorship creates capacity and provides essential support for justice-impacted communities. Together, they dive into the unique challenges and opportunities of building infrastructure, securing funding, and sustaining advocacy work. Jennifer shares her personal journey, offering insights into why trauma-informed leadership is essential and how fiscal sponsorship can be a pathway to amplify the voices and efforts of marginalized communities. Join us as we unpack strategies for developing sustainable support structures, fostering partnerships, and navigating the complexities of justice reform funding. Whether you're a nonprofit leader, funder, or advocate looking to better understand the impact of fiscal sponsorship, this conversation is for you! Jennifer Toon, Project Director for Lioness: JIWAJennifer Toon is a passionate prison abolitionist. As a formerly incarcerated woman, her experience with the criminal legal system began at age 15 when she was adjudicated under Texas determinate sentencing laws.

Since the 1990s, 2 million people with felony convictions have regained the right to vote, thanks to crucial reforms abolishing felony disenfranchisement in 26 states. This election, these voters could play a crucial role—and based on data from 2020, many of them prefer Trump. There's more to this story however, from incarcerated people's limited access to information, to the role of prisoners' race and even positive perceptions of Harris' gender in shaping incarcerated voters' preferences.

It's spooky season, a time when we often visit haunted houses and think about the paranormal. And if you live in the Chicago area, you've probably seen billboards and ads for the Old Joliet Haunted Prison. But at one point, it was an actual prison. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, questions about the paranormal can serve as an entry into the historical context of a place. Last episode, we visited the Old Joliet Prison to look into a lister's question about whether it's haunted. And that got us thinking about the ethics of “prison tourism.” Is it OK to take a place where people suffered and died and turn it into a site of entertainment? Today, we get into this question and more with Hope Corrigan, who reported on it for The Marshall Project.

An investigation by The Marshall Project reveals how hospitals are causing parents to be separated from their children over false positive drug test results.

Pregnant with her fifth child, Susan Horton had a lot of confidence in her parenting abilities. Then she ate a salad from Costco: an “everything” chopped salad kit with poppy seeds. When she went to the hospital to give birth the next day, she tested positive for opiates. Horton told doctors that it must have been the poppy seeds, but she couldn't convince them it was true. She was reported to child welfare authorities, and a judge removed Horton's newborn from her care. “They had a singular piece of evidence,” Horton said, “and it was wrong.”Hospitals across the country routinely drug test people coming in to give birth. But the tests many hospitals use are notoriously imprecise, with false positive rates of up to 50 percent for some drugs. People taking over-the-counter cold medicine or prescribed medications can test positive for methamphetamine or opiates.This week on Reveal, our collaboration with The Marshall Project investigates why parents across the country are being reported to child protective services over inaccurate drug test results. Reporter Shoshana Walter digs into the cases of women who were separated from their babies after a pee-in-a-cup drug test triggered a cascade of events they couldn't control.

In Seattle, police responded to nearly ten thousand scenes of people in crisis last year. And one of the only remaining paths into Washington State's largest psychiatric hospital is through jail. But some cities are experimenting with ways to disentangle mental health care from policing — setting up new branches of emergency services that specifically handle mental illness, addiction, and homelessness. Tradeoffs recently teamed up with The Marshall Project to produce The Fifth Branch, a three- part series examining a new approach being tested in the city of Durham, North Carolina.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The Marshall Project has done a study and found that more U.S. cities are launching alternative first responder programs, which send unarmed civilians instead of armed officers to some emergencies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About this episode: Since 2015, 1,939 individuals experiencing mental health crises have been killed during encounters with police in America, accounting for 20% of all police killings. The first episode of “The Fifth Branch”— a three-part special series by Tradeoffs and The Marshall Project— examines what it looks like when one community dramatically changes how it responds to people in crisis. Episodes 2 and 3 can be found on the Tradeoffs website. Host: Dan Gorenstein is the founder and executive editor of the Tradeoffs podcast.

We explore how Durham grapples with connecting people to long-term care and support, and where the city draws the line between crisis response and social services.Guests:Ryan Smith, Director, Durham Community Safety DepartmentSammetta Cutler, Peer Support Specialist, Durham Community Safety DepartmentSarah Hall, Durham residentDavid Prater, Peer Support Specialist, Durham Community Safety DepartmentJohn Warasila, Real estate developer and architect, Alliance ArchitectureBo Ferguson, Deputy City Manager, DurhamPatrice Andrews, Police Chief, Durham Police DepartmentChristie Thompson, Staff Writer, The Marshall ProjectAllison Casey, EMT, Durham Community Safety DepartmentEMS, Fire, Police and the 911 Call Center make up the existing four branches of the public safety system. A special series from Tradeoffs and The Marshall Project explores how a city radically changes its response to people in crisis, by creating a fifth branch. Nearly half of the country's 50 largest cities - including San Francisco, New York, Houston, Chicago - have launched programs to send unarmed responders to 911 calls historically handled by cops. In the process creating a new generation of first responders made up of clinicians, EMTs and unarmed mental health workers all responding to people who struggle with addiction, homelessness and mental illness. To understand this work we head to Durham, North Carolina, which has - in the face of skepticism and downright opposition - built one of the most comprehensive programs in the country.How did Durham pull off what so many cities have struggled to do? Tradeoffs and The Marshall Project examine this groundbreaking work and the challenges it's facing, both in Durham and around the country.Learn more on our website.Want more Tradeoffs?

Almost as soon as Vice President Kamala Harris jumped into the 2024 presidential race, she found a message to set her apart from former President Donald Trump: her record as a prosecutor. It's a compelling narrative, especially given Trump's status as a convicted felon. But when she ran for president in 2020, then-candidate Harris aligned herself with the recent wave of “progressive prosecutors” moving away from the tough-on-crime policies that helped create mass incarceration. And it's a label Republicans are trying to use against her and other Democrats in this election. Jamiles Lartey, staff writer for the Marshall Project, talks about the backlash to the progressive prosecutor movement and how it's shaping the 2024 election.And in headlines: Former President Donald Trump told a group of supporters that if they elect him in November they “won't have to vote anymore,” Israel launched counterstrikes deep into Lebanon, and millions of West Coast residents are under air quality warnings as firefighters battle California's biggest wildfire of the year.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

As local jails have morphed into some of the largest mental health treatment facilities in the U.S., many counties have outsourced medical care to private companies that promise to contain rising costs. Turn Key is one of the fastest growing in the middle of the country.At least 50 people who were under Turn Key's care died during the past decade, an investigation by The Marshall Project and The Frontier found. Our reporting unearthed company policies and practices that have endangered people in jail — especially those with mental illness.On this episode of Listen Frontier, Frontier executive editor Dylan Goforth speaks with Frontier managing editor Brianna Bailey and Cary Aspinwall, reporter for The Marshall Project.This is Listen Frontier, a podcast exploring the investigative journalism of the Frontier and featuring conversations with those on the frontlines of Oklahoma's most important stories.

Washington is just one of many states that makes an assault on a health care worker a felony offense, but recent reporting from the Marshall Project and the Seattle Times found that this law is disproportionately affecting those in a mental crisis. From 2018 to 2022, there were 151 cases of felony assault on a health care worker in King County. A little more than three-quarters of those cases involved someone experiencing symptoms of a mental illness. Oregon has tried to pass a similar law, but these attempts have failed. Christie Thompson is a staff writer for the Marshall Project. She joins us to share more.

First up, there has been a media frenzy around the fouls made against rising basketball star and Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark. Commentators and fans have called her fellow WNBA players bullies, jealous, and catty. But Code Switch co-host Gene Demby and Defector's Maitreyi Anantharaman say a lot of the people commenting misunderstand the WNBA. Host Brittany Luse learns what the new fans might be missing and how racism, sexism and homophobia could be fanning the flames of the latest hot takes. Brittany also leads Gene and Maitreyi through a game of "But Did You Know."Then, what is up with all the deodorant being locked up in stores? It's not just you, it's a peculiar nationwide trend that Brittany is trying to understand. Vox policy correspondent Abdallah Fayyad and The Marshall Project's engagement editor Nicole Lewis join the show to explain how this is related to a big shoplifting panic and what it could mean for the shelf life of certain crime policies across the country.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In 2015, Erica Jones' daughter, Whitney Brown, was killed in a drive-by shooting. Who did it remains unknown. Brown's case is among the 1,000-plus from 2014 to 2023 that still haven't been solved, according to a joint investigation by St. Louis Public Radio, APM Reports and the Marshall Project. Jones talks about how grief has changed her family, and why she is still seeking answers — and justice. She also discusses Voice of the Voiceless STL, a nonprofit support group she founded to help fellow St. Louisans who have lost loved ones to gun violence.

Staffing at the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department dropped by about a third since 2014. There's a backlog of DNA samples linked to homicides, and the homicide squad grappled for resources as murders in the city spiked. Our investigation with APM Reports and The Marshall Project has found that one reason police failed to solve more than 1,000 homicides in the city over the last 10 years is a lack of resources. Tom Scheck with APM Reports, spent a lot of time digging into the finances of the SLMPD's homicide squad. He spoke to St. Louis Public Radio's Rachel Lippmann about the findings.

We've been reporting this week on the difficulty the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department had with solving homicides between 2014 and 2023. Reporting by St. Louis Public Radio, APM Reports and the Marshall Project found that the department kept detectives in the unit even after a supervisor claimed they repeatedly failed to perform basic investigative tasks. St. Louis Public Radio's Rachel Lippmann has more of the investigation's finding.
