Dispatch
The stories in this section are first-person reports and observations of events, occurrences and situations that take place in and around prisons. Each story is carefully vetted, and we work with the writer to be as clear as possible about what they saw or experienced firsthand, who they spoke to and where they got each piece of information from. However, unlike our News stories, we intentionally have not sought comment from officials because of the risks of reprisal to the reporter.
