Isabelle Taft named as Livingston Award finalist by Mississippi Today, Mississippi Today April 26, 2024 Former Mississippi Today reporter Isabelle Taft has been named as a 2024 Livingston Award finalist in the local reporting division for her investigation into Mississippi's practice of jailing people who have not been charged with a crime and are in need of mental health treatment. The award recognizes the best reporting by young journalists.
Taft was named as a finalist along with ProPublica counterparts Agnel Philip and Mollie Simon. Mississippi Today found that in just 19 of the state’s 82 counties, people were jailed without charges more than 2,000 times over four years. Taft spoke with 14 Mississippians about their experiences in jail and learned that people detained for being sick are generally treated the same as people accused of crimes.
