This toolkit from @themarshallproject.org is part of our Investigate This! initiative to support local criminal justice journalism. Email us if you want to use toolkits, datasets, press briefings, or virtual visits for your newsroom or classroom: [email protected]

If you're a journalist who wants to learn more about jail data and deaths in custody, register for our conversation with @themarshallproject.org's @brittanyhailer.bsky.social and Anna Flagg www.themarshallproject.org/events/for-j...

I love when journalists share the nitty gritty of how we uncover information.

And, shout out to @michellebillman.bsky.social who interviewed me and curated my cluttered desk of a brain into a beautiful toolkit.

In this @themarshallproject.org toolkit for journalists, @brittanyhailer.bsky.social walks you through all the records that can be gathered to investigate deaths behind bars. And you can schedule a consultation to discuss reporting strategies by filling out this form: airtable.com/appM5HuYBqC6...
