In this post a couple of months ago, I noted that the Politico Magazine had produced a bunch of great new articles on criminal justice reform issues under the heading "Justice Reform: The Decarceration Issue." Those article are still collected at this link, but they are now topped by another great new set of pieces under the heading "Justice Reform: Prison Conditions." Here are the lengthy pieces under this heading with their full headlines:
