JSTOR Access in Prison

It was super meaningful to work with Elena Moore, a politics reporter from NPR, on this story on formerly-incarcerated, first-time voters. We talked to Kunlyna Tauch in California, Craig Muhammad in Maryland and L. Elizabeth Shatswell in Washington. Johnny Pippins told us about how, despite gaining clemency from Illinois last year to start his PhD at University of Iowa, he remains disenfranchised due to having a felony because of where he lives. I've gotten to know all of them over the last year through my work covering prison education for Open Campus. It was heartening to have most of them share their experience voting for the first time, and heartbreaking to hear their ongoing frustration for those who remained barred from participating in democracy after prison. Also thanks to Megan Pratz, politics editor at NPR. (The idea for this story was hatched over lunch in DC last month and wouldn't have happened if Megan and I hadn't both been Kiplinger fellows several years ago Ohio University.)
