Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
In this illuminating story about jails being used increasingly as mental health facilities, reporter Julienne Hill got permission to visit the Cook County Jail in Chicago to get the inside story about how the sheriff is creating a national model for dealing with mentally ill detainees. Hill interviewed detainees, as well as jail employees – people who don’t often speak openly to the media. Readers came away with an important story at a time when criminal justice reform has become a bipartisan issue across the country.
