The Marshall Project
The Marshall Project is a nonprofit news organization focused on the U.S. criminal justice system. Founded in 2014 by Neil Barsky, it aims to highlight the need for reform in a system that often perpetuates racial and economic inequities. The organization is named after Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and is dedicated to creating a sense of urgency around these issues. The Marshall Project provides high-quality journalism that exposes injustices within the criminal justice system. It also offers multimedia content, including video series and publications like "The Marshall Project Inside," which reaches incarcerated individuals in over 1,300 prisons and jails. Additionally, it has established a local network in cities such as Cleveland, Jackson, and St. Louis to cover regional criminal justice issues. The organization serves a diverse audience, including legislators, justice system professionals, and families of incarcerated individuals. It has received multiple awards for its impactful reporting and has secured grants to support its initiatives.
