Inside/Out: A Prison Journalism Project
Incarceration and justice reform’s ripple effects continue to be felt heavily in our society. Our prison news coverage delves into the complex issues surrounding the penal system, shedding light on the ongoing challenges and reforms that impact the lives of those behind bars and the communities they return to- including reporting by prison journalist Steve Brooks, who was selected to participate in the inaugural cohort of the California Local News Fellowship. A state-funded initiative based at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism to strengthen local public affairs reporting, Brooks will be a part-time contributing writer for Bay City News Foundation. He covers issues of incarceration, criminal justice and human rights.

A companion section called Inside/Out delves into the complex issues surrounding the penal system, shedding light on the ongoing challenges and reforms that impact the lives of those behind bars and the communities they return to.
