The Marshall Project

🚨🔎 We’re launching Investigate This! for journalists in local newsrooms who want to use Marshall Project datasets and reporting to craft original criminal justice stories in their communities.

You can also reach out to Michelle Billman with any questions or to connect via email at [email protected].
