Mina Corpuz with Mississippi Today and Daja E. Henry with The Marshall Project review their deep-dive reporting into suicides in Mississippi’s prisons. Inmates — including those known to pose harm to themselves — are often locked away in solitary confinement without adequate checks on their wellbeing. The reporters looked at a decade’s worth of data and tell harrowing stories through the eyes of family members and inmates. The project was a partnership between Mississippi Today, The Marshall Project and the Clarion Ledger.
