We (Ryan and Tim) kept seeing press releases about people dying inside county jails across Indiana, so we tried to figure out why that was happening. Even though a lot of the people knew about a lot of problems, nobody knew just how widespread or deep they were. So we spent a few years investigating jails by filing more than 150 public records requests, interviewing more than 50 people and reading through thousands of pages of police reports, court records and jail inspection reports. What we discovered is a crisis that has been steadily growing worse over the last decade, and virtually every level of government shares in the blame. In this AMA, we hope to answer all kinds of questions related to jails and our investigations -- ranging from the relatively simple (what is the difference between a jail and a prison?) to the nuanced (how many jails are considered dangerous?). We are focused primarily on Indiana jails but can answer some broader questions about incarceration in the U.S., too.
Edit: We're signing off, but we're on Twitter (@ryanmartin, @starwatchtim) and all the other online places you typically bump into reporters. Thanks for the great questions today, we appreciate you.
