The Marshall Project
The sweeping impact of COVID-19 on incarcerated people in the U.S.
This package is exceptionally well reported, said the judges, and it covers a community that is easily ignored and rarely written about in a way that recognizes prison inmates as fellow human beings. The investigative reporting turned up stories essential for the wider community’s COVID-19 response and likely saved lives. Partnering with major news outlets expanded the impact.
