Some of Our Best Work of 2019
The Marshall Project celebrated a number of milestones in 2019. We turned 5 years old. One of our classic stories was the basis for one of the most successful and critically acclaimed Netflix shows of the year. We launched a magazine—yes a real magazine printed on paper—for incarcerated readers that circulates in more than 325 prisons and jails in 30 states. All of this came as we continued to publish moving narrative longreads, immersive multimedia storytelling, documentaries and the kind of investigations that change minds and have an impact.
Five years on, we continue to believe that the only way to fix our criminal justice system is to expose the many ways in which it fails, through fearless and fair investigative reporting. Ultimately, we couldn’t have done all of this work this year without the support of readers like you. As we review some of our favorite work of the year, remember that your contributions help make this happen and will enable us to publish even more important stories in the year ahead. So stick with us in 2020, and thank you.
In their own words
This year, we released two new installments in our film series, “.” The first focused on , and how our immigration policies affect people, we heard the stories of parents, victims, police, community activists and formerly incarcerated people. It serves as a reminder of the devastation wrought by crime and the justice system itself.
