I've been reporting on prisons, courts and law enforcement across the U.S. for over a decade. My reporting has spurred state and federal investigations and prompted legislation around the country. My 2016 reporting on the deadly for-profit prisoner transport industry prompted an investigation by the Justice Department. In 2021, my reporting on “ghost workers” in Mississippi’s private prisons was awarded the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting and the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability. Those stories prompted the state to claw back millions of dollars from the private prison company MTC.
