just thinking about how sanitation workers have saved more lives in one single year than the police ever have in hundreds of years of existence and you don't hear them whining every day about not having the respect of the public

After roughly 25,000 unredacted death records from 2019 to 2023 were made available online late last year, The Marshall Project checked them against independent sources on in-custody deaths, including news reports and academic research. We found at least 681 deaths missing from the federal count.

Why Doesn’t the U.S. Government Know How Many People Die in Custody?

Under the Death in Custody Reporting Act, the government is supposed to track how many people die in law enforcement custody — but the data is a mess.

If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list

New York is about to make all prison phone calls free. This move will make it easier for the state’s over 30,000 prisoners to stay connected to loved ones, saving them over $13 million a year. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/n...

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

A quote from Sarah Stillman that reads, “What I found . . . is hard to describe as anything other than a pattern of widespread torture of people with mental-health issues in county jails.”

A truly distressing offer from Bukele. Transnational prisons are a troubling “solution” in any case, but it is all the worse when the host country is known for deplorable detention conditions and no respect for the rights of detainees.
