My team at @wnpr hosted a panel about prison reform in Connecticut before the premiere of our documentary Cutline: Transforming Corrections. We traveled to Norway with a group from the state who wanted to learn more about their prison system. Full doc: https://t.co/PbS9mHsZAc

I’m excited to share my latest @wnpr story in partnership with my dear friend @cjnorwoodwrites and the @19thnews. CT was the first state to make phone calls free for people in prison. We explore how this has impacted incarcerated people and their families. https://t.co/sfDEe1yVux

[Candice Norwood @cjnorwoodwrites]

So proud of this collab between @19thnews and @wnpr up today! I had the honor of partnering with @brialloyd (my old NewsHour colleague!) to look at how Connecticut became a model for laws requiring free prison phone calls: https://t.co/q8kXt40GDU

1 in 4 women have a loved one in prison, and they're the ones providing financial & emotional support. In Connecticut, mothers fought to make prison calls free.

In this stunning story, @cjnorwoodwrites & @brialloyd take you inside what happened next.

Story time 🫖 — The 90s and early 2000s were wild times in Connecticut. Several public officials were convicted on corruption charges. So many convictions grabbed headlines that it earned the state the nickname “Corrupticut”. 🧵1/9 @wnpr

[Jim Welch @CTnewshound]

Episode Three of @wnpr 'In Absentia' podcast:

Mayor Joe Ganim keeps winning elections with the support of Bridgeport’s Democratic political machine.

Is machine politics holding the city back?

Everybody loves a comeback story. And in one CT city, voters seemed to embrace it again & again. Here’s how a mayor, who was convicted of municipal corruption, went on to win back his old job after serving 7 years in prison… and remains mayor today. A thread 🧵1/7

Episode 2 of the @wnpr podcast “In Absentia” is out. The latest episode: Once Joe Ganim was released from prison, he returned to the city of Bridgeport, where he staged his political comeback.
