When Chicago police officers can’t be trusted on the witness stand - The Chicago Reporter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When someone is arrested, it can come down to their word against an officer’s in court. But what happens when the officer’s own conduct is in question, or when they’re under investigation themself?

Read excerpt
In Illinois women’s prisons, time is measured differently. People serving sentences count the days until a family visit, the months until a parole hearing, or the years until their release date. They count birthdays of loved ones missed, children growing older, and milestones passing outside prison walls. For those serving felony sentences, another date remains uncertain: the day they can cast a ballot again. In Illinois, people serving felony sentences lose the right to vote while incarcerated.
