Mississippi Expands Justice Reporting

Mississippi Today just landed a $300,000 boost to launch a major investigative series on the state’s juvenile justice system — exposing hidden corners of detention, court battles, and systemic failures that ripple through families. With a goal to build a public parole tracker and cost database, this deep-dive effort will shine light on broken systems, spotlight public defenders and advocates doing good work, and unite reporters across health, education, and government. Funded by the Public Welfare Foundation and backed by Pulitzer-winning journalism, this expansion promises to keep Mississippi’s most vulnerable voices front and center — where they belong.
